Forgive my terminology, I'm a little green at this.



My question:


Is there an Oracle 8 client available (new) that is compatible with
Winsock2?  We're using net80 from a custom VB5 app against an Oracle db.
I've got 8.0.4 and it is incompatible with Winsock2 as far as I can tell.
What can I do to ensure compatibility between my application/Oracle
connection and winsock2?



Furthermore, I just got Visual Studio 6.0 and installed Interdev & VB 6 (one
or both require Winsock2) and my Oracle connection ceases to function.



So far the following pieces either install, or require winsock2 (as far as I
can tell):


Win98


Personal Web Server 4


Java VM


Visual Studio 6.0



I imagine this list will grow rapidly.  Help!



Thanks in advance.
