You dont mention what protocol adapters you use. We use SQL*NET 2.2.2 with TCP with Win 3.1 and have it installed on

	Novell servers . All you need to do is install SQL*NET
	from a workstation pointing it to a network drive. 
On all other PC`s add your oracle "BIN" directory to the PATH
	and copy the "ORACLE.INI" file to the "BIN" directory
	make sure that none of these PC`s have a local "ORACLE.INI"
	elsewhere in the path. If you use the TCP adapter you also
	need to copy the "VSL.INI" to each PC`s WINDOWS directory.
This has proven to be quite stable a configuration that can be 
	automated.

Hope it helps
