I'm also pretty new to Oracle, but I have a thought. Someone might be able to correct me, however.

I believe SQL*Net 2.1.4 is strictly a 16bit protocol. I know in Win95 it uses VxD, which is a virtual driver for 16 bit applications. I was reading just the other day that applications which use VxDs (Virtual Anything Driver) will not run on NT. But as I mentioned... I could be wrong.

Good Luck! :-)
