This, like most issues dealing with Sql*Net, is operating system dependent. On VMS you must include the start command when invoking lsnrctl (if you try to issue the start command from the lsnrctl> prompt it will not start up properly). Read the documentation. Or at least tell us what system you are running on.

There is no way for the V2 listener to understand V1 connect strings. On several operating systems it is possible to have both a V2 listener and a V1 listener running at the same time. Read the documentation. Or at least tell us what system you are running on.
