help with sqlwindows and oracle 7.3 connectivity

I can't seem to get sql windows 5.0.3 running on a win95 client to talk to Oracle 7.3 running on an NT 4 server. I'm trying to connect with sql talk, the error i get returned is ora-03121 - no interface driver connected.

The database is called casper and the instance devl. I've loaded sql net v2.2 as I believe 2.3 is 32 bit only and I'm running tcp/ip.

I'm using the following connect string in sql.ini

[oragtwy]
remotedbname=casper,_at_casper.world
longbuffer=32760
fetchrow=20
maperror=OFF
substitute=SYSSQL.,

and this is my tnsnames.ora

casper.world =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =

        (ADDRESS =


          (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)

          (PROTOCOL = TCP)

          (Host = oracle.intranet)


          (Port = 1521)


        )
        (ADDRESS =


          (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)

          (PROTOCOL = TCP)

          (Host = oracle.intranet)


          (Port = 1526)


        )

but it doesn't work and it's winter and it's pouring down with rain...

Should I

1. throw myself under a bus?
2. throw sql windows under a bus?
3. throw a bus at sql net?

ps. I can connect to Oracle using sql plus.

Any suggestions (constructive) comments appreciated....

Thanks
