Applies to:

Oracle Reports Developer - Version 10.1.2.0.2 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.



Symptoms

Reports Server 10g R2 (10.1.2.X) or 11g

There is just one NIC (networking card) setup in this box

nslookup <hostname.domain> is working fine

HTTP listener is working: http://host:7778

or per rwserver.log:

*** 2011/2/24 8:52:58:131 -- Broadcasting is disabled. Please enable cosnaming for Reports discovery.



Per rwservlet.trc in 10g or rwservlet_diagnostic.log in 11g, there is a "Network is unreachable" error message before generic REP-51002:
