The code that throws the exception would have helped.... It *may* be an IIS issue - sort of - in that the anonymous accounts iuser_machine and iwam_machine need to have read/execute access to the Oracle home directory, which they won't do by default with a 9i (or higher) client. If it isn't that wild stab in the dark then try posting some code, and I'd suggest limiting the crossposts to just the aspnet and perhaps the oracle.misc groups.
