Oh boy!
You need to fix that firewall. You should a) allow your local nodes to go out on Oracle*Net port (and I advise against

   1521, 1526 and 1527).
b) allow certain IP addresses to go in your LAN by using Oracle*Net port. Second thing to do would be to have a SSL firewall and use Advanced Networking or, alternatively, configure Oracle*Net to tunnel through firewalls by using ssh. The latter is described on in the following article by R. Schrag: http://www.dbspecialists.com/presentations/net8_security.html

There are tons of options for you and I could easily write an article about Oracle*Net and firewalls (Thermopilae in Greek). The best thing to do is to read a few articles about firewalls and Oracle*Net until you find something that fits your needs. It's half past midnight and I'm tired. May gods be with you. There was a guy named Leonidas who was the original security administrator at the original firewall. Be brave, your work is much easier then his was.
