Question:

I currently installed Oracle application 11.5.9 on Linux AS 3.0. I managed to access it through my LAN using the following  address: http://oracle-svr.gsmsc.com:8000/dev60cgi/f60cgi.
   
I am now trying to access the Oracle application through the Internet by opening a port 8000 from our router which points to my Oracle server's IP address, I then try accessing it by using this address
http://[our static IP]:8000/dev60cgi/f60cgi but failed.
   
Are there any settings or steps I missed or is this not the correct way?
   
Thanks.

Answer:

You appear to be doing it correctly but without an error message I am not sure what to advise. Forward port 8000 through the firewall to the port on the Linux server. Then access the application by requesting
http://firewall_ip:8000/dev60cgi/f60cgi.

If the application tries to connect using another port, the initial connection would work, but the connection on the separate port would fail.
