FWIW, When we used protocol.ora at my previous company, we experienced a real slow down so we aborted it. This was on 8.1.6 and 8.1.5 databases. We did have a list of about 20 names it had to look through.

Sajid,

I used protocol.ora to restrict connection based on ip on oracle 8.1.6.3.0 and now 8.1.7.2.0 (Solaris 8). I don't have problem.

However, when I had two sets of databases running on the same ORACLE_HOME and using two listeners for these two sets of databases, I had complications. The behavior was that the listener that had the protocol.ora in the directory had to be started after the other one (somehow the restriction stayed in the memory). If you failed to start the restricted-listener last, or restarted the open-connection listener after the restricted-listener is running, then the open-set of databases don't have open connections.

Hope this helps.
Sharon

Hi

I tried this however I get the same result as in it doesn't allow any connections at all..even IP addresses which are included in the .protocol.ora file.
