Hello,

I have been charged with the responsibility of testing a 16-bit Windows application in both OS/2 Warp (3.0 and 4.0) operating systems. The application uses either Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.03 or an Oracle 7.2/7.3 database. Oracle for Windows supports TCP/IP and Named Pipes, but as of now, even with OS/2's TCP/IP set up correctly, I cannot connect to an Oracle data source using TCP/IP. The software ran fine in Windows (which uses Microsoft's TCP/IP).

Has anyone here been successful using a Windows 16-bit application to connect to an Oracle database while running it under OS/2 (and using Intersolv ODBC drivers) via TCP/IP? If so, what special measures need to be taken to configure either the operating system or the Oracle drivers?

Thanks in advance!
