I had the same problems, can be solved by:
1) Configuring net8
2) start the listener
to start the listener: $oracle_home\BIN\LSNRCTL.EXE START listener
and to stop it: $oracle_home\BIN\LSNRCTL.EXE STOP listener.
Now it works fine (Did not use any local ipc connection but a tcp-loopback
on my localhost).
