ReportServer works, but ReportManager raises "Unable to connect" e -- sql server reporting services

When I open reports from the ReportManager, the parameter list and the
reporting toolbar seem to be missing the normal style, and I get an "unable
to connect to the remote server The attempted operation is not supported for
the type of object referenced" error.

I can successfully execute reports from Visual Studio 'Run' or by browsing
"http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/...".

BTW, this is a completely fresh XP and SQL2005 install, and I've seen the
same problem on another machine. Which probably means I made the same
mistake on both machines. ;-)

Thanks in advance,

Did you ever get this to work properly? What did it take to resolve?

Nope.
Microsoft Developer Support has been investigating for two weeks. I'll post
when I know more.

I actually got mine to work. I had SQL2K5 Developer installed on my
workstation (XP).

I reviewed what I had changed in the past week, and traced it to an
installation of Norton Privacy Service. I de-installed it, and it worked
properly.

It appeared to be an issue with how the winsock is controlled.

You could try a netsh winsock reset, reboot, and try it.
