    Hi,

    I am experiencing some problem regarding the viewing of reports in the network.We have a peer to peer network of Windows XP machines.

    When i tried to access the reports from a network machine,i got the error message '\Server\Guest' doesn't  have the required credentials to access the reports.

    Then I created a new role for Guest with 'Browser and Content Manager' permissions.

    Now when I go to 'http:\\server\ReportServer' from a network machine ,i can see the list of the reports i have published. When i try to view the report by clicking on the link ,i am getting the following error.

    'An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help

    Computer name could not be obtained '

    The Full Error Details are

    Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InternalCatalogException: An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details., ;

     Info: Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InternalCatalogException: An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Computer name could not be obtained.

    Any body has a solution to this problem.

    I take it you can view the report when browsing on the server, and I would imagine you have checked to make sure you can ping the 'machine name' from your networked computer.

    Have you checked the Data sources to make sure they are correct like your connect using: parrameters in the properties for the report?

    Properties - Data Sources ?

    Regards

    Yes.I have tried and have succeeded to ping the machine name from the networked computer.

    Regarding the datasource i have the connection string like

    data source=server;initial catalog=test

    In the credentials tab i have selected Windows Credentails.

    Using these properties i am able to view the report from the server machine.This problem only comes when i try to view the reports from the network machine.

    Thanks,

    Rajesh

    Hi Rajesh

    Just try changing the credentials to a sql server login and password as a test, that is of course if your sql server is in Mixed mode Authentication.
