Can't see the ReportManager from another workstation

Maybe this sounds like a simple question for you, but it really took me a
while trying to figure it out.
I have had a report ready on my Report Manager, but I could not run it on
any other workstations at all. My workstation is using IIS 5.1, Win XP, RS
2000 and VS .NET 2003. The database server and report server is a remote
server.
I am thinking maybe I just missed something in the configuration. Please
advise. Thanks a lot.Check that you have given the correct security permissions for your users.
If you are saying that you log in with your own credentials on several boxes
but can only access the report manager from one box then that is a different
problem.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I logged in the computers under the same domain ID.
Does this cause the problem?

then click on Site Settings
(What we are doing is verifying that no one changed anything for the Browser
rights)
In the Security section, click the "Configure item-level role definitions"
link
Next, click the browser role.
Verify that View folders, View models, view reports, view resources, and
manage individual subscriptions is checked (this is the default settings)
If any are missing, check them and then click Ok
Next, go back to your home page by click the Home link in the upper right.
Click the Properties tab.
You should see two entries (by default only one - the BUILTIN\Administrators
will be listed)
The other entry should be (if you want domain users to have rights to see
this report server) is:
DOMAIN\Domain Users (where DOMAIN is the name of your domain)
If you don't see your domain users being listed, then click "New Role
Assignment" and then check the box for Browser rights and type the group you
want to have rights. In this case, DOMAIN\Domain Users
If they still cannot connect, log them off their workstation, and log back
on after making these changes.
