Thanks. I'm quite interested. Since there is an included firewall, I suspect Daniel is right.

You can move off port 1521 by changing the Listener.ora on your server and the tnsnames.ora on all your clients and the server. It's usually a pain in any moderate sized organization that uses TNSNAMES.ora, but it is (or at least used to be) supported. If it's a firewall question, this will not help.
