Does anyone know how to enable Oracle Discoverer Viewer (their web app) through the firewall?&nbsp;&nbsp;We are trying to allow our VPN users access to it, but it continues to timeout at the query level.&nbsp;&nbsp;I do not get any dropped or rejected packets - just simple timeouts.<br><br>We are NAT'ing the Oracle server object at the firewall (VPN is only in testing phase, and we have other apps that need to be accessed via the Internet).&nbsp;&nbsp;I've tried an ANY ACCEPT rule to the server, but still get the timeout.&nbsp;&nbsp;Curiously, when I change the access from ClientEncrypt to accept, I do not even get to the query part of the application.<br><br>Any help is greatly appreciated.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br><br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>
 
I would guess that Discover is trying to use a port that your firewall is blocking, I presume your vpn users can access other web pages on your Intranet?<br><br>First thing is to find out which port(s) Discoverer depends on, then you can make sure they're enabled on your firewall.<br><br>I'm guessing here - so I hope I'm not wildly off the mark. <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href= Cargill's Corporate Web Site</a><br>
