I am ignorant of Windows '95. Does it include it's own tcp/ip stack or are you using some other vendors software. Most products for windows have TCP_VENDOR=winsock So that sqlnet will use the winsock.dll You also have to have the TCP_SERVICES_FILE=<some dir>/services defined. Note that the default services.hlp that comes with sqlnet v2 is probably DEFINED WRONG. Your server probably has the port defined as LISTENER 1521/tcp
and your windows sqlnet has it defined as LISTENER 1584/tcp
Developers of different platforms at Oracle CORP do not talk to one another. Good Luck
