See if you can get the networking people to configure the firewall to log all traffic, both allowed and disallowed, from the CF server to the Oracle db, for a period of time that includes success and CF errors; that is likely to show something interesting. Without specific configuration, the Oracle client on the CF server may try to use different ports on the server side, which could confuse the firewall or be rejected.
