10g Database Configuration Assistant fails with code ORA-12546



I originally thought the problem related only to the install process of 10g
10.1.0.2 on Windows Server 2003 but I have now established that the DBCA
will not run successfully when run on its own either. I can get all the way
through the wizard and then when I click OK to start the database creation
it brings up a window with a tick beside "Copying database files" and the
item being "Clone database creation in progress". At this point it fails
with error:

ORA-12546: TNS: Permission denied.

So I can't create any databases - serious problem! What could be causing
this? I am a local administrator and there aren't any special file or
directory permissions anywhere on the server. It's basically a fresh
install of Windows Server 2003 with the only other program installed being
Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.5.3 (please don't ask me to uninstall
this). The firewall is not on.

It has been suggested that it might be a clash of ports for the listener but
it doesn't look as though it even gets to install listeners. Even so, how
do I know which port the listener (if any) is trying to use?

It's a mess and it is a very serious problem. Any suggestions or assistance
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Wes
