Answer 1

I think you have to put the variables definition (rs, st, con...) in a specific place like this, i mark with (*) what i changed:
<%! (*)
ResultSet rs; (*)
Connection Con; (*)
Statement st; (*)
%> (*)
<% (*)
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver()");
Con=DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.x.xx:1521:new","old","new");
st=Con.createStatement();
%>
good luck,
javi
