Hi all,
I get this trouble, I installed Oracle 9i database on Windows 2000 Advance Server. When it located in our company, I connect to it successfully! When I put the server in our ISP, I can't connect (even tnsping, using port 1521). So I change listener port setting to another port, tnsping is OK, but when using sqlplus, it shows error: "ORA-12543 TNS:destination host unreachable".
I think that in tnsping, the server reply to port is configured. But in sqlplus, it reply to another port that isn't allowed by firewall. Is it right???
Please help me in connect to that server!

Hi there....
I have a same problem with Nguyen Lam.
My case is described below :
We have setup two oracle server connected each other thru firewall in between, but currently we have a problem with this connection.
Say Server A and Server B.
When Server A is trying to connect to Server B either using TNSPing and SQLPlus, they will establish properly. And I've the used tcp port is 1521 for both connection at Server B, and tcphigh port at Server A, and it is normal, since Server A is a calling server.
But it was the opposite situation, when B connect to A.
using the TNSPing, B will connect to A using tcp port 1521, but when B trying to connect to A using SQLPlus, then they will use randow tcp port at both sides.
At A, the tcp port used was in incremental count.
First attempt, it used tcp 1023, 2nd attempt used tcp 1024, 3rd attempt used 1025 etc.
Is this case, at firewall we can not set the destination port at A to be 1521, since the destination port at A is always used randomly (count up).
How to solve it. Is there any solution on this. We have set the tsname.ora and listener.ora using the same tcp port 1521.
Looking forward to hearing your advised in short.

Hi Mohamad,
What is the Operating system on A. You can try to set USE_SHARED_SOCKET registry entry in Windows if the OS is Windows otherwise check metalink for Unix operating system. When Oracle client requests a connection from server, server will allocate port randomly so it is not possible set in firewall. There is another solution for this, using Oracle proxy server for I am familier with this. I used SHARED_SOCKET registry for my Windows system
Good Luck,
Subbarao

Hi Subbarao,
Thank you for your very quick reply.
Server A is Windows NT 4.0 Server and Server B is Unix Server.
Do I need to check the metalink parameter in Unix, when it becomes a calling Server ?
For Server A, what should I check on USE_SHARED_SOCKET parameter ?
Could you brief me on this ? Is it configured in Windows Registry ? Is it located in HK_LOCAL_MACHINE ?
Or where ?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,

Dear Mohamad Wahyudi,
I've just resolve the problem by setting the registry value:
It located at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREORACLEHOME0
At the following key: USE_SHARED_SOCKET (string value) with value: TRUE
Reboot your machine and ... ok!
Hope it solve your problem!
