Re: connecting over internet

Pablo,
  SQL*Net8 on multithreated OS use 1521 to connect and   redirect then the connection to another port.

  After the listener completes the handshake a dedicated   server process is spawned. Server and Client agree the   new port when "handshaking".

  You will need a firewall which supports SQL*Net.   Please contact your local support, they can advice    you if your firewall can be configured or any other    further actions.

Good luck
Dante
