Try this:
add DNS entry of Sun database machine in the JDBC client.
Find the "hosts" file in your windows 2000 machine and add
ipaddress machinename machinename.domain

exmaple:
if you database is PIGSY(10.160.1.3) and its domain is ORACLE.COM
then add
10.160.1.3 PIGSY PIGSY.ORACLE.COM


I hope this helps,
Regis
