Here's an overview of how connectivity works. First, I'll assume you
connect with a dedicated connection (as opposed to a "shared server"):
the listener gets the incoming requests, usually on port 1521, unless
you changed the default port used. After the requests came to the
listener, the listener spawns a new server dedicated process, and has
this server dedicated process "listen" on a different port of the
server. The listener then tells the incoming connection request which
port it should look at to be in touch with this newly-spawned dedicated
server process. You therefore also need access to this other port.
