Connection Problem w/ Oracle

I'm having a problem connecting to Oracle as well. I'm using a connection string of the following format (From the Microsoft Website)

"Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=serverName;User ID=MyUserID; Password=MyPassword;"

All I get is a messagebox that says "Failed to load database information."

The error comes up immediately and our database connection is quite slow, so I don't think it's even attempting to connect.

I have been able to connect to a MySql Database with a similar connection string with no problems, so I know the app is working.

I would appreciate any help anyone could offer.

thanks
