Firewall Configuration
Hello,
i am trying to configure a Web Application that use Oracle 8i DB, the application must run under a Firewall config, i open the port 1521 but when i try to test one ODBC Connection from the application server (Windows NT) to the Oracle Server (Windows NT / Oracle 8i) using the NET8 Assistant and the ODBC Test it doesnt open the connection and i see in the firewall log and the connection try to open a range from port 1000 to port 5000 random, there is any way to use only the 1521 port?? or just a specific range of ports?? which ports??
thanks

Is the db server configured as MTS ?
put your application server also behind the firewall.
our configuration:
internet --- firewall --- application-server --- Database (thats easy and secure)
other ways:
internet --- application-server --- firewall --- Database ( so your application-server must connect to the Database through the firewall (odbc/jdbc i.e. port 1521) or with connection-manager or any way. thats more difficult).

Some firewall are able to go through SQLNet connection and dynamicaly change rules for your packets. Check if your firewall is able to use option of that style.
I think that limitation of number of connection could by cope with more listeners listeting on more ports.
Or to use Connection managger. It could work as proxy and I think it could be combined with firewall to obtain desired result.
