    Oracle Thin connectio fails from outside the network

    Hi all:
    I have an oracle 9i server running behind a firewall.
    i set up the machine that has the oracle server as a DMZ zone.

    i can connect to the oracle server from the local network but not from
    outside (using the oracle THIN driver)

    can anyone tell me what is the problem and how to solve it?

    thanks
    hilz.

    It sounds like your firewall is blocking TCP conversations initiated from
    the outside into the DMZ, but allowing traffic initiated from your internal
    network. I would start by looking at your firewall config.

      Can you ping the server?
      yes
      Can you tnsping the listener?
      i don't know. how do i do that?

      What is the error message?
      in the "listener.l og", i get the follwoing:

      01-JUL-2003 01:07:25 *
      (CONNECT_DATA=( SID=orcl1)(CID= (PROGRAM=)(HOST =__jdbc__)(USER =))) *
      (ADDRESS=(PROTO COL=tcp)(HOST=4 .31.67.91)(PORT =1248)) * establish * orcl1 * 0



      and in the java program (on the client, from outside the network), i get the
      following exception:
      Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
      java.sql.SQLExc eption: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish
      the connection
