Cannot connect with RAS

[achopra]

I have CE v10 installed on a standalone machine, and am trying to get some simple RAS samples working (that I downloaded off the Crystal site). No matter what I do I always get the same following error. Btw, I get this error using in an ASP.net app for a windows app (I know its not the code because I have used different samples and tutorials which all give me the same result.

I did read about multi-homed machines and am wondering if this has to do with port numbers etc. since this is a winsock error. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

here is the error:

Error Type:
clientdoc.dll (0x80041015)
Failed to connect to server "127.0.0.1". Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.

Hi,
Do you get any page displayed when you try

http://localhost

or

http://127.0.0.1

?

Is your web service ( IIS) running on the standard Port 80?

Yes - my web server is running fine. I can run the other samples, as well as the CMS over the web, I have tested the web connectors successfully etc. I know I have other asp.net applications that work perfectly fine as well.

The issue also happens to me when I create a windows app and try to use RAS. It always fails with this error when I go to either open a report through ras or create a new one.

I have done this using sample code from the Crystal site (included below). I have the same error with other tutorials and samples as well. It is whenever I use RAS.
