Re: Connect to remote server via RAS and SQL*PLus

Be careful Win95 does not route. If you are connected to a lan with one network address and dial a server with another IP address, Win95 is not smart enough to decide which connected it should route the traffic. I believe there is a free/shareware utility that will enable routing on WIn95, but I forgot the name. You can check one of the Win95 newsgroups (it appears to be a constant issue there).
