在Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Releae 5.5 成功安装ORACLE 10g 后，在客户端配置TNS后，测试是否可以连接到数据块服务器，结果报错： ORA-12170：TNS：连接超时

1：首先检查网络是否能ping通，如下所示，网络是畅通的

2：检查TNS配置（TNS配置也没有问题）
GSP =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS =(PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.20.36.79)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = gsp)
)
)

3：查看服务器监听服务是否启动
[oracle@wgods ~]$ lsnrctl status

4：使用tnsping命令检查，报TNS-12535: TNS: 操作超时，这时我们可以肯定是防火墙的问题了
C:\Users\kerry>tnsping 172.20.32.79

TNS-12535: TNS: 操作超时
对于防火墙问题，我们可以有两种解决方案：
1：关闭防火墙（这种方案不怎么好，关闭防火墙，会带来许多安全隐患）
[root@wgods ~]# service iptables stop
Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ]

2：修改iptables，开放1521端口，允许1521端口被连接
2.1 编辑iptables文件，添加-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 1521 -j ACCEPT记录。
[root@wgods sysconfig]# vi iptables
# Generated by iptables-save v1.3.5 on Fri Dec 14 17:03:58 2012

2.2 重启iptables服务
[root@wgods sysconfig]# service iptables restart
Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ]
Applying iptables firewall rules: [ OK ]
Loading additional iptables modules: ip_conntrack_netbios_ns ip_conntrack_ftp [ OK ]
2.3 保存新增的规则，以免下次重启机器后，配置规则失效
[root@wgods sysconfig]# service iptables save
Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables: [ OK ]
2.4 查看1521端口是否开放，允许连接（见红色部分）
[root@wgods sysconfig]# iptables -L -n

从客户端用PL/SQL Developer连接数据库，问题解决。
