Accessing reportviewer from web

Hi,
apologies for what I know is a very basic question. We have a very simple ASP.NET page that includes a report viewer object. The site containing the page is on a public server, and the report server is on an internal server (actually the same physical machine, but running on a different IP) - we are referencing the report server via a 10.x.x.x address and it's not connecting from outside. The report server is not accessible from the public address, and I don't believe there's firewall issues - can someone please point me in the right direction?

thanks,
Steve.

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Put user code to initialize the page here
//this.DropDownList1.Items.Add(new ListItem("report1,"report1"));

string param = DropDownList1.SelectedValue;
ReportViewer1.ReportPath = "/Development/report1" + param ;
ReportViewer1.ServerUrl = "http://10.72.x.x/reportserver";

}
If you log onto the console of the web server are you able to access the report server using the 10.x.x.x address? My guess would be that it is an IP/subnet issue, but I'm not really an expert in that area.|||Yep, it's actually the same server but sites running on different addresses. It looks to me like the reportviewer object is being created on the client side, and therefore can't resolve the internal 10.x.x.x address. It's not my code, and I'm no ASP.NET guru, but the object seems to be created in the ASPX page correctly, with "runat=server", but is then also created in a C# code behind page, and it's this object that's actually being created, and it's client, not server side...if all that makes sense...

cheers,
STeve.

I have not done that much with the report viewer in ASP.NET, most of my experience with this control has been with the Windows Forms edition. But my understanding with the ASP.NET version was that most of the rendering takes place on the server side.

One thing thing you could checked is the permissions. If you are running the ASP.NET app from a public server I assume that you are running the standard impersonation mode which would mean that the account accessing the report server would either be the ASPNET account if you are running IIS 5 or the account that is configured for the app pool if you are running IIS 6. The account in question would need to have permission to access the report server and run the report(s) in question.
