Personal Oracle 7

I have just installed PORA7 WIN95, It detected IPX/SPX, Named Pipes, and TCP/IP Loopback(???) and installed them. My SQLNet was configured automatically and the database started up OK with SQLPLUS logging into server 2 as scott/tiger.

I installed Intersolv ODBC 32-bit drivers for Oracle which are supposed to work with W95 and NT.

From VB I enter select "ODBC;" as connection string. ODBC Login screen comes up, I select server 2 and scott/tiger, I get back an error ORA-12xxx TNS ???. I noticed that Oracle starts up my internet service dial-up when I start the database or when I try loggin into it from ODBC. I have no idea how any of this works. There is no Oracle.INI to set the SQLNET DBNAME which is what I'm used to connecting to oracle 7.1 from VB3 using OO4O.

the TCPIP Loopback is explained as a connection to an oracle remote server with ip "127.0.0.1" and named orcl. where is that? do I need to set up??

Any one tried my exact same configuration and successfully logged in using ODBC to Personal Oracle 95.
