I really need help to understand why I can't connect to SSAS from a remote machine running SSMS or BIDS. Following is my setup:

SQLServer 2005 on a development server
Server Name: SQLWIN-1
Named Instance: SQLWIN1

If I am running management studio locally from the server machine I can connect to SSAS fine. However, when running from a remote machine the connection fails with the following errors:


TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to SQLWIN-1\SQLWIN1.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A connection cannot be made to redirector. Ensure that 'SQL Browser' service is running. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)
------------------------------
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it (System)

What I have already verified & tried:
SQL Browser service is running under NT Authority/Network Service account.
SSAS properties has local and remote connections radio button checked.
I even unabled anonymous login for SSAS on SQLWIN1

If I change the SQL Browser to run under the local system account, i get a slightly different error as follows:

TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to SQLWIN-1\SQLWIN1.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)
------------------------------
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. (System)
------------------------------
An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine (System)


I am kinda stuck and don't know what else I can try.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
