One file that the install script of SQL*net V2 is vsl.ini in the windows directory. It contains information about the TCP/IP stack that you are using. Not sure if that is your problem, but its a start.

The Oracle installation for SQL*NET V2 only copies the oracle.ini and vsl.ini into the windows directory. The rest stay in the Oracle_Home area.
