SSRS 2008 R2 - Unable to Connect to Remote Server Error

I had installed SQL Server 2008 R2 on windows 7, but could not able to connect to the report server at
http://pc-0260:13000/Reports

Try doing the following things
Go to Reporting Services Conf. Manager.

1. Change the server account to local account.
2. Remove the SSL if configured.
3. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer
4. Change the  SecureConnectionLevel value to 0 in rsreportserver.config

Try refreshing the page, it should work now!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The vast majority of the info on the net is for older SSRS versions that don't apply. This was spot on for 2008 R2. Thanks.

I spent lots of time and effort until I was thinking to search on-line...I blamed IP-s and ports and anything else.

Your solution of changing config file resolved the problem, I did not have to change the account.

If I could I would buy you multiple drinks for this solution :o)

Thanks a lot.
