My problem is similar to the last post about intranet vs internet but I haven't found a solution yet. The website and DB are all on the same machine and are running SQL Server 2008. I can access the reports inside the network using the machine name and or the IP address, but outside I get an "Internet Explorer Cannot Display the page" when I try to use the external IP of the server. I have tried adding the IP address as a trusted site, but it still won't work. I have gone to the configuration manager and both internal machine name and external IP are listed. Any suggestions? thanks.
Thanks for the reply, Not sure how to do that since I don't want the web traffic re routed, but the Report Services is on port 8080, which I had to use because of weird issues with SSL.
Actually, I figured it out, I just added a Website to IIS and pointed it to the ReportingServices directory where I installed SQL Server and assigned it to port 8080 and it works. Thanks for your help, you got me on the right track.
Funny how that isn't documented anywhere? Seems pretty basic. One last problem though is that it still requires you to login to view it externally. Unfortunately the Reporting Services is installed under an administrator, so I don't want to give out that password. Do I need to create a seperate user for Reporting Services and assign it appropriately or is there a way around the login issue?
