Is this a Windows server? I think this is true for dedicated servers on
Windows and MTS on any platform, but not true for Unix dedicated servers.
If using MTS on UNIX, one can set the (PORT=...) in the mts_dispatchers
parameter in initSID.ora. Not being a Windows type, I don't know the
workaround there.

Subject: use_shared_socket usage


afaik, when a client connects to a listener it uses port 1521 at the client
machine. the listener then returns to the client thru a different port. The
1521 port is closed and the db connection uses the new port for
communicating with the client. i want the listener to return to the client
using port 1521, how?

metalink says use the use_shared_socket parameter, but its still not
working. i set the parameter to true in the sys env and in the registry.
