Are there initial files for oracle (ex. oracle.ini) on windows or oracle-bin directory. If you can't find those files, have to recover them from backup media or recover by taking re-installation. If tha's OKey, add PATH variable including oracle-bin (ex. C:\ORAWIN\BIN) in Autoexec.bat, and try.

Hope for working-out by only PATH correcting.

That product is for 32-bits' interface appl. So, you must migrate all appls for Win3.1 to for-Win95, if you wanto use SQL*Net for Win95.
But you can run your appls with SQL*Net 2.0 for Win3.1 on Win95 by no modifcation, if your appls supports WOW.

Ahh... poor expressions, following is example.

Excel95 + ODBC32 + SQL*Net95, this is OKey. Excel3.1 + ODBC16 + SQL*Net3.1, this is OKey,also. Appls3.1 + ODBC16 + SQL*Net3.1, OKey,OKey.(case on WOW-supporting)

Excel3.1 + ODBC16 or 32 + SQL*Net95, this is No Good. Appls3.1 + ODBC16 or 32 + SQL*Net95, this is No Good, also.

Hope for catching my meaning and for your help.
