I installed sql express with advanced services on a local network computer named 'Tester'. For service accounts I specified a domain\user and 'mixed mode' for authentication. I am using IIS 5.1 .I would like to publish database reports using reporting services. when i open a web browser on the machine with sql express and type in the url: http://localhost/reportserver the web pages work fine. but when i go to a different machine thats on the same network and use the url: http://Tester/reportserver the web page is not found. ive also tried by ip: http://<ip address>/reportserver. how do i get users on the network to be able to view the virtual report server directories on the Tester computer? Help would be greatly appreciated.

not exactly sure, are you referring to the web service port on the local machine or is this a setting for the entire network?

Entire network, we know it works on your local machine.

Reporting Services gets an Instance Name just like the database servcie and you need to specify that name when you browse to it. For example, if you installed to the default instance name for SQL Express with Advanced Services, the address for Report Manager is http://localhost/reports$sqlexpress
