Recently we found that $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora is source
of problems and you have to check it for wrong protocols path:

# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File:
/opt/oracle/oas/10.1.2.0.2/server/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, EZCONNECT, TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)

That one caused problems for me. I've just changed to:
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)

And that's it!
