Windows Sockets v 1.1 as tcp/ip transport for client

I am having difficulty getting my client (Oracle dev 2000 on windows 3.1 ) 
running sql*net v2.1.4 to connect to my server running sql*net 2.1.6.



The problem seems to be with the client i.e. no connection from client 
to server (netstat and lsnrctl). The server will connect loopback with 
connect string but my client doesn't, it returns with error ORA-12545. 
The error seems to point to an unresolvable host name in the address list 
of the tnsnames.ora file.



Our suppliers claim that Windows Sockets v 1.1 is not a valid tcp/ip transport
eventhough it is selectable in the tcp/ip adapter install option. 



Winsock works fine for telnet, ftp etc. I can connect to my host via it's
name i.e I don't have to specify ip address or full machine name.



My sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files are OK (I believe).



I cannot get it working in fact I can't even get a trace file out of the
client. The ping test dinna work either.



Am I doing something wrong or should I be looking at alternatives to
Windows Sockets v1.1.



Does somebody have this configuration working?
