Hi, apparently it's been enough to guide me to the sqlnet.ora :-) . I've taken a look at it and compared with the client's one and saw that on the server we had:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) while in the clients we had

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= () I've made the change in the server and now everything seems to be working perfectly. Thank you very much for your time and advice.
