Follow up question. Do you have any PCs at work running Windows 95 connecting to this database? Perhaps the problem lies only with the Microsoft TCP/IP stack used for network cards and not the SLIP/PPP types of connection provided by RAS. Perhaps we can solve this mystery before Oracle/Microsoft does. Received on Sun Sep 17 1995 - 00:00:00 CEST
