thank you - when i setup a default oracle 8i server with tcp/ip communication, ive only one destination port from the net8 client to my server and it works(ok...there is firewall between the client and the server and only destination port 1521 is permitted to pass through)
when i try to connect to an oracle 7 server it doesnt work! ..what happend here exactly? maybe like that: the client requests a sql connection to destination port 1521 and the server respond with port redirection ..."please connect me at port 1031"...the client tries to connect to this port 1031 and will be rejected by my firewall? this only happens with sql net v1?? i know about sql net application proxy for this issue but is there a possibility to change the oracle 7 server/client settings?

thank you again!
bye
