Re: Oracle 8i Firewall Problem ...

I just went thur this about a month ago. Except we were doing network address translation (NAT) do to a duplicate addresses with our new parent company.
1. o7client? I believe this works.
2. other ways? see your question #3, in net8 you can play with the registry to consistantly use a single port. 3. I went with CMAN, it was up and working in about 4 hours. 4. I'll try to send you a set of config files tomorrow from work... actually i believe you can run cman on the same machine as the database. terry
