Re: Win98 and Oracle Net8 Easy Config Problems: "Java" Error?

I've had the same problem with 95/98, and I've seen PLENTY of other posts on the subject. It's a problem with Winsock 2.0 that comes with 95/98. I Recommend not using Net80 -- use the SQL*Net client that comes with Oracle 7. That's what I have to do, and it seems to work fine. BTW -- this isn't a problem on NT4.
