When you say you can't get Network Manager to work with SQL*Net 2.1 just what exactly do you mean? It can't open the *.ORA file? Or it can't work with Oracle Names version 1? When you start Network Manager 3.0 it doesn't attempt to go across the network until you try fetching from the database or using it to launch something like Server Manager or one of the controllers such as namesctl or intctl.

What level of SQL*Net 2.1 is it? Are you *sure* it is 2.1 of SQL*Net and not 2.0 of SQL*Net and 2.1 of Network Manager. SQL*Net prior to 2.1 has a different format for its configuration files. As a result you must use NETCONV to convert the format for use with Network Manager 3.0.
