Hopefully its fairly self evident that you can't deny network traffic and also expect network communications to work. You can however ensure that Net8/Sqlnet communication only takes place over a known port (and lock all the others down) You can also secure Net8 traffic using advanced security.

Look into advanced security and connection manager/ shared sockets in the net8 documentation. Received on Sat Nov 09 2002 - 06:48:01 CST
