I have been successful in using SQL PLUS 3.1.3.7.2 to 
communicate with the WIN95 beta database as well as an Oracle 
instance running remotely on an AIX box. The remote connection 
is via SQLNET 2.1.4.1.4 and TCP/IP from the Developer 2000 
package.  I can connect with the WIN95 database via SQL PLUS 
3.2 but when I attempt to connect to the remote instance via 
SQL PLUS 3.2 , SQLNET doesn't load.  Furthermore, when I use 
the data navigator supplied with the WIN95 beta, I can view the 
WIN95 local database but when I try and establish any remote 
connections I get the same error indicating that SQLNET is not 
running properly.



It seems that I am not alone as I have read many similar posts 
and as yet have read NONE that indicate success in connecting 
to remote databases using the tools bundled with the WIN95 
beta. Atleast none using TCP/IP and SQLNET.



Quite frankly I am surprised that Oracle hasn't come forward 
and acknowledged this problem.  I feel that there are many who 
share my feeling on this.
