Oracle is doing the normal ting : it is using port 1521 for calls to
find the listener and then calling back on another port
to spread the load over multiple port's. This is done a port has a
limited queue to hold in- and out- coming messages.
If you what to use Oracle listener and
we had the same problem and we found that oracle use the standard port only
to make the initial connection. All the traffic after that is done on
different ports. So you need to open the range that oracle use in the
firewall.

the firewall should use sqlnet proxy. most firewalls support it and if this one
doesn't scrap it! only the initial connection is made on port 1521.

Environment:
Oracle 8.1.6
AIX server behind a firewall
db is accessed by a Windows application running on a IIS web server
sitting outside the firewall
db uses port 1521
After a flurry of email between the Unix admin and the 4 software vendors
concerned, all the fingers are now
