You should be on the right path. port 1521 is the default Oracle listener port. Once you connect to the listener it spawns processes on other ports to continue the conversation.
With Oracle inside the firewall you need to let 1521 in and then Oracle starts communication on the other ports that LEAF should let out. Does the Oracle box have a routable IP or is it masquareded. If it's masquareded be sure to open 1521 and then forward it to the Oracle box. I would assume the dynamically assigned ports would be handled fine by the normal masquarding logic. (maybe?) Sorry for the lack of specific suggestions. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Charles Steinkuehler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2001 5:22 PM Subject: [Leaf-user] Oracle 8 > Hello All, > > I have an Oracle 8 server running behind my masquerading firewall and am having > trouble connecting to it from my MS Access server on the outside. > > I have opened up port 1521 that I could find in the "dbstart" files from > oracle, but I think that they might be using something like dynamic ports as > well. > > Has anyonw had to deal with this problem? > > cheers, > lonnie > > > _______________________________________________ > Leaf-user mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
