SUMMARY
The Server Proxy service of Proxy Server version 2.0 can not be
configured to allow remote SQL*NET clients to connect to an Oracle
Server 7.3 running on Microsoft Windows NT Server.
MORE INFORMATION
To use the Server Proxy service in Proxy Server 2.0, the TCP port
needed to establish communications between the server and client
must be remotely bound to the network adapter on the Internet side
of the Proxy Server.
The TCP port used by the SQL*NET client to connect to the Oracle
Server database is dynamically configured at the time the client
connects.
Because the Oracle server and the SQL*NET client communicate over
dynamically configured TCP ports, it is not possible to connect
the two through the Proxy Server.
