I have a VB/Oracle application which needs to access the database remotely
over ppp.  The app needs to work under both Win NT 4.0 and Windows 95/98, so
I am looking for solutions; if different, for both OS's.

How do I achieve this?  At the moment, if I run the application with no
Network connection it fails to utilise the dial up networking entry (this
occurs under both OS's), and sits there until eventually it times out with
an SQLSetConnectAttr error.  This happens even when the PPP connection has
been established separately beforehand.

It should not be difficult, in fact I have seen the application working over
PPP on a previous occassion (unfortunately I do not have access to the
configuration details of the PC that it worked on).

Help!!!   This is driving me insane.
