Run a network sniffer and analyze the traffic.

We got a funny when doing it once. The client (or was it the server?) for some obscure and unknown reason set the FIN bit in one of the TCP packets carrying SQL*Net data. Of course that means that it's the end of that conversation.

Never knew what caused it. An upgrade ot two later to both client and server and the problem disappeared.
