The Network Adapter could not establish the connection when connecting with Oracle DB

When a client connects to an Oracle server, it first connnects to the Oracle listener service. It often redirects the client to another port. So the client has to open another connection on a different port, which is blocked by the firewall.

So you might in fact have encountered a firewall problem due to Oracle port redirection. It should be possible to diagnose it with a network monitor on the client machine or with the firewall management software on the firewall.
