You need to install the Oracle8i client on your machine and then modify two
files - tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora


This is a sample of what you should have in the tnsnames.ora file (assuming
rate is the name of your oracle box) - you may have more than 1 of these
depending on how many oracle servers you are connecting to.

RATE.FENICS.COM =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.2.30.31)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = rate.fenics.com )
    )
  )


Here is the sqlnet.ora file example


AUTOMATIC_IPC = OFF
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = off
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = FENICS.COM
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH = (TNSNAMES,ONAMES)


Then you will be able to connect with the native driver.
