The SID, yes. The HOME - we've never needed to. Setting the HOME doesn't seem 
to make any difference though...

This is kind of obvious, but did you set ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME?

Hey list,
This is backwards enough that I don't quite know where to start with it. This

used to seeing the listener act up and being able to connect directly but not 
via the listener - not this.
