Files needed for database connectivity

I am a brand new user of TOAD. I just installed TOAD on my Windows 7 computer.

What are the additional files that are needed to provide connectivity to my remote Oracle instance on Solaris ?

Where should these files be located ?

Thanks.

You need to download and install an Oracle client on your windows computer. If you have 32 bit Toad, you need a 32 bit Oracle client. If you have 64 bit Toad, you need a 64 bit Oracle client.

The 32 and 64 bit Oracle clients are here, near the bottom of the page.
