Let's see if I can word this correctly (been slammed in the past):
- Client contacts Listener (on server) on specified port (default
1521). You can 'tnsping net_service_name' to verify that the Listener is
alive and well (and willing to communicate).
- Listener starts another process on the server to communicate with the
Client. This other process chooses a random port over which it carries
on the network conversation with the Client.
If you have a Metalink account (requires you to supply your CSI), look
for Note 125021.1 "Oracle Connectivity with Firewalls". You can also
search Google using the keywords "oracle firewall".
