Are you using a TNS connection from Toad, or a Direct/LDAP connection?

Are you sure you've only got one Listener process running?

Your local listener has nothing to do with how you connect remotely. You do not need a listener or Oracle at all to connect to a remote database. All you need is a tnsnames.ora file and a client product.
