OK - installed XE on Xp.

For one - you do not need a listener for local SQL*plus connection:

C:\>sqlplus system/manager
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Sat Dec 29 15:22:28 2007 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production

Running the option "Run SQL Command line" from the XE menu yields similar results:

SQL> conn system/manager
Connected.

No connect string required...

If you insist on using a connect string, there's a slight problem. As there is no XE service defined in the listener, XE needs to register itself, which can take a while. Your symptoms match beautifully:

So - there *is* a listener, but it does not service XE 9it does service PLSExtProc and CLRExtProc, though)

Now - in order to get rid of the first error lines, revert the IPC and TCP lines in listener.ora - I'll post mine lateron. *From the beginning*:

In your first post, you mentioned:
TNSLSNR for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production Message 279 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=NL
Message 1073 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS

This sounds like wrong environment settings...

My listener.ora:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)
(PROGRAM = extproc)

    )
    (SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = CLRExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)
(PROGRAM = extproc)

    )
  )

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = cs-frank03)(PORT = 1521))
    )
  )

DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)

tnsnames.ora:
XE =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))     (CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)

    )
  )

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)

    )
  )

ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = CLRExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)

    )
  )

Although I tested with these listener and tnsnames files successfully, too:

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = cs-frank03)(PORT = 1521))
    )
  )

DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)

XE =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))     (CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)

    )
  )

One last observation: changing the listener address to localhost causes XE to no longer register itself - symptoms are: before mentioned ORA-12514, or TNS-12541, or http home page is unavailable.
Changing the address in tnsnames from the actual host name (cs-frank03) to localhost makes no difference. Not that the homepage is at 127.0.0.1, too.
