Oracle has a registry setting that will force all traffic for a session through the same port that the listener connection was made on (e.g. 1521). Place the USE_SHARED_SOCKET parameter in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:Software:Oracle with a value of TRUE, and restart Oracle and the listener for it to take effect. It also doesn't hurt to set this parameter as a system environment variable as well.
