Stephenie,

There's a file Oracle uses named tnsnames.ora which 
contains connection information for databases (host 
name, port, SID, etc. I put a copy of the file on the cf 
box. (in c:\orant\network\admin).

Also have the Oracle SQL*Net client installed on the CF 
box.

Sample tnsnames block:
BLAH.world = 
  (DESCRIPTION = 
    (ADDRESS_LIST = 
        (ADDRESS = 
          (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
          (PROTOCOL = TCP)
          (Host = 123.45.678.90)
          (Port = 1521)
        )
        (ADDRESS = 
          (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
          (PROTOCOL = TCP)
          (Host = 123.45.678.90)
          (Port = 1526)
        )
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = BLAH)
    )
  )

Am using the Oracle driver.

In ODBC setup on the CF box, in this example, the Data 
Source Name would be BLAH, and the SQL*Net Connect 
String would be BLAH.world.

HTH.
