Hi there.

Are you running NT on your database server? If so, things are a little more complicated. On NT, the Oracle listener creates a new thread for each connection request, and each thread uses a different, random, port. To get around this, there is a registry setting you can use. Set USE_SHARED_SOCKET = TRUE in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE and in each Oracle Home under that that you are using.

You then only need to open your firewall to port 1521 (or 1526, if that is what you are using)

If you have access to Metalink, look up Note:68651.1 for more details.

>>Dear Larry,
>>thanks for the info. Is there any sample scripts for that? In MS exchange 5.0 documentation there is sample script for that. But, I am not sure I can find one in oracle docs.
