Hi.
I am trying to connect to an Oracle Listener process thru a
firewall. The Oracle Listener does not respond.
Here are the Firewall settings:
Oracle server address: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 1521
Firewall handoff settings: YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY 11521 (YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY
is the firewall's adress).
In other words, anything the firewall receives on port 11521
is sent to the oracle server at port 1521. The Oracle Server
doesn't seem to respond causing my Oracle client to time out.
Based on the limited debugging I have done, I am starting to
believe this is because my client sends it's own IP address
(while sending requests to the server). The server may be
trying to respond to the oracle client directly without
realizing that the request is coming thru a firewall.
And, of course, I have verified that the server is functioning
normally. I am able to connect to it directly (without a firewall)
without any problems.
Any help in this regard is appreciated.
