Look in C:\oracle\ora81\network\admin\sqlnet.ora for the line
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
This is why Oracle is trying to retrieve user information from the
domain. I ran into this when I had a laptop plugged into the network,
and I installed Oracle onto it, then tried to access Oracle when
disconnected from the network. Off the top of my head, I changed it to
NONE and then I was all set.

-ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
-
-
-BM_28047
-
-Cause: The authentication service failed to retrieve the credentials
of
-a user.
-
-BM_28048
-
-Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error.
did you enable tracing? if so what's the output?
-
-I would like to guess authentication service has problem since network
-config change. We have similar situation before. Change ip address and
-keep hostname without any problem
are you sure you're accessing by hostname and that the hostname is
resolving correctly?
