ODBC fails from Windows Service in VS.Net 2008

I have a Windows service that I wrote in VB.Net 2003, that talks to an Oracle
database via ODBC. I recompiled it in VB.Net 2008, and this version hangs on
trying to open the ODBC connection. Using Network Monitor running on a test
Oracle server, I can see that it is sending out a broadcast packet every
second or so. Using the same code from a Windows form appliction on the same
PC works: it does not send out a broadcast; it connects to the database right
away. How is the Windows service application different from a Windows forms
application?

Any help greatly appreciated.
