Remember, It's never oracle's fault... always blame the network ;)
Anyway, Oracle Names is similar to DNS. It uses port 1575 by default but is configurable. Check
your sqlnet.ora file.
BTW, for sqlnet traffic, I hope the firewall is configured as a sql*net proxy. You just can't open
up ports. You will also need to use a connection manager. Lots of good info on this in the Net
Admn guide and on metalink.

Please respond to
oracle-l
OK, so in the process of the outsourcing at my current gig, they've
decided to move us from the company offices to the local offices of the
contracting company i work for. not a problem, right? NOT.
we use ONAMES to connect to all the databases. so no tnsnames.ora file.
now if i understand correctly ONAMES works kind of like a DNS for the
databases. that is a request will be made to the ONAMES server for the
address where the SID you're connecting to is located and it will return
that information which is used to make another request for the actual
connection to the database. is my understanding correct? does it
return the information on the same port the request is made on?
i'm thinking there a major firewall issues in play here, but i keep
being told it's Oracle's fault.
thanks,
Bill " Shrek" Thater
