Hi listers,

Here is a question my client asked me, that I can't seem to find the answer to on metalink, mostly because I am not sure how to frame the search query. If you don't know what NMCI is, just know that it is a government program that is establishing control over the network which our database servers are on. Anyone have any ideas or advice for me?

TIA, Regina

Then, one of the NMCI technical guys mentioned that NMCI PCs wouldn t allow inbound/outbound 1521 traffic (SQLNET). Hence, no NMCI user would be able to use any client/server application. Wow, that s a major problem. There are a few possible solutions.

Configure the database server to listen on port 443, because NMCI allows 443. But, SQLNET uses random high order ports on the return. Anybody know if you can configure SQLNET to use only 443 on the response?
