Re: extenal procedure listener and firewall

I memory serves me right I think that this is from using MTS, its problem is that it opens a random port number for the  connection and that means that the remote user never see's that connection, Some firewalls are able to handle these connections but must are simple packet filtering and if the port is not in the list then a connection never gets through

If you search the archives at fatcity.com you might find something

We have just installed a firewall and are now getting lots of ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent errors, although the listener appears to be running.

Anyone else had this problem?
