Try rebooting your machine. That always works for me. :-)

If that doesn't work it could be lots of things but I would be surprised if it wouldn't work if you methodically check the following.

0. Ping the server.
1. Make sure you have installed 16-bit SQL*Net and can connect through SQL*Plus to the server.
2. Make sure you have installed the latest version of the 16-bit BDE.

3. Make sure you have the latest version of SQL Links 
i.e.. the native driver from Borland for Oracle.
4. Make sure that the Oracle Driver configuration as done 

through the BDE Configuration utility is correct. 5. Set up an alias that uses this driver and make sure you can connect to the database through database desktop's alias manager.
