I was able to browse to the report manager page ,which was http://servername/reports from the actual server as well as the clinets that had the right access. Now, I changed the URL from Report service configuration manager to get some custom link to the reporting page, now the link is something like: http://myreport/reports. The problem is from the actual server I am NOT able to open/browse to this new URL, but from all of my clinets are able to view/browse to the new link. This tells me that the link is working fine, but from the server it asks for the user and pass, but when I put it, it doesn't do anything. Would you please let me know if I need to change anything in the server to get that access back. Thanks Bahram
