Still getting: "Unable to connect to the remote server..." please help!

Hello I'm getting the error messege: "Unable to connect to the remote server.
The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced"

This message occurs with any report, including other ones that I build.
It has this error when when under the
http://localhost/reports/.... path.
And also when adding a report viewer component in Visual studio and running the web site project it still get the same error.
These reports workproperly if I browse anly to
http://localhost/reportserver/..... ;

I have completely removedIIS, & allSQL Server 2005 components, and
re-installed. I am still receiving the same error.
I saw some same problems with that in other websites and still can't get the right solution
  • I tried to configure theSurface Area Configuration - remote connections to Local and remote connections alsoTCP &TCP and named pipes- stilldoesn't work.
  • I tried toconfigureSql Server Management studio Express - properties- security and to setSQL server and Windows authentication. still getting the same error
  • I also tried this solusion by this site here:http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1756698&SiteID=1

But still getting the same problem.

Are you using Katmai SSRS? The message "The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object reference" is interesting. I think it indicates a general problem on your machine that prevents .Net clients to connect to a web service.

I did some search on the internet. Can you try the following KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259?

Can you also try disabling the firewall?

Thanks A lot!

I followed the link that you provide me. I did the " netsh winsock reset " reboot and the reports worked.

I don't know what is Katmai SSRS.

I use report server of SQL EXPRESS .

everything works for me now thanks again.
