Re: Oracle Report Server and Web Access

You might also have a problem with SP6. I'm running on NT 4 SP 5 without any problems. I have my web server listening on port 90 (which is not the default). I did this because we have another web server running on the same machine using the default port. The web server port is not the same port listed in your TNSNAMES file. I used port 1949 for the reports server service. And like you said, you may have a problem with your Client version. I'm using Net8 on my system without any problems. Short of those tidbits, about the only other thing I can suggest is to call Oracle Support.
