The thing which bothers me is that OP appears to have taken
Shakespeare's solution (undoubtedly the correct one here) as a silver
bullet, and edited his sqlnet.ora, without actually trying to understand
what is going on (hint: it's going all over the Windoze network trying
to find a database which is probably on the same box).

IMHO, this attitude is unfortunate; it won't aid him in thinking through
his next problem.

If you take a close look at the log files, you'll find the connection was
waiting for NTS (15 secs twice).
I did not suggest not using NTS as a solution, but merely offered him a test
case yo show the delay WAS caused by NTS.
Which makes more sense to me than just turn off HT because of some problem 2
years ago (which was a real problem by the way).
