2: is the connect string for making a local db on the WIn95 platform. That is the number two followed by a colon. A local sqlnet driver (called the two-task driver) is used for local connections.

Please note that one needs to use SqlNet to connect to Oracle, irrespective of the fact that you are using ODBC or not. ODBC drivers are typically implemented using OCI.
