Re: Firewall: use_shared_socket

My bad. I looked at the listener log again, and as you noted, it lists the clients IP and port #. However, what I said about the server cycling thru a couple of thousand ports by default to reply is still correct. I will have to re-find the log file I originally looked at, and it may be an NT log vs and Oracle log. However, I remember it distinctly because the server tried the ports sequentially, and they where all high numbered ports. Also, if you review what NT specific Oracle documentation there is, it basically confirms this. Glad you were able to get it solved.
