I'm not certain which ports Oracle uses for network communication.  It's
undoubtedly buried in the system documentation somewhere.

Once you find those, you'll need to have them "-j ACCEPT" in your
iptables configuration.

If you're not familiar with iptables config files, I recommend you use
either "redhat-config-securitylevel" (Desktop->System Settings->Security
Level) or something like Firestarter, available for free from
http://firestarter.sourceforge.net.
