Yup, that's how it works.
So, before outsourcing no one consider the firewall issues?
Good planning on their part, eh?
The firewall admins needs to open a port for onames.
There will also need to be a range of ports for the sqlnet
connections opened up as well.
Can't recall which config file that goes in,
probably listener.ora, or possibly protocol.ora.
