My main reason for thinking so was that there are some noted problems with the Windows Firewall being switched on and blocking some ports that Oracle uses. I have cleared oracle.exe and tnslsnr.exe in that regard, btw. ;)

I've tested in IE and Firefox ... again, though, I only pointed at SP2 b/c of the firewall issues. I was hoping that someone might have stumbled upon something blocking communication between Oracle and Tomcat or somesuch....

I cross-posted b/c of users from each of these three groups possibly encountering the interaction problem. I'll be glad to direct only to one if the problem starts resolving itself to one ... or if no one else replies. ;)
