Can't access Report Manager on another computer

I have Reporting Services for SQL Server 2005 (beta 2) installed on 2
Windows XP Pro boxes that are part of the same Windows workgroup. I
need to deploy reports from one box to the other, but I can't see the
Report Manager on the opposing machine, even though I can see it
locally on the respective machine.
I know we're talking beta here, but I need to give a coworker a way to
have access to all our reports on his laptop. Since Reporting
Services for SQL 2000 requires a server, the only way he and I can
have the reports locally on Win XP Pro is via Reporting Services 2005.
Any idea how I can get access to his Report Manager? When I go to
Report Manager on my machine, I go to
"http://MyComputerName/Reports$2005", which works fine. When I'm on
his machine and go to Report Manager, I go to
"http://HisComputerName/Reports$2005" and that works fine. When I try
the same path from my computer, I get a "page not found" error.
I am a local administrator on his machine and have full directory
access (e.g. //ComputerName/C$). I checked the IIS permissions for
his Reports$2005 virtual directory and the Directory Security
authentication method is set to Integrated Windows authentication. I
tried Anonymous access, but that didn't help. Any ideas?I figured it out. Service Pack 2 for Win XP Pro was installed on the
remote machine, so the firewall was preventing me from getting to the
Report Server. I simply disabled the firewall temporarily so I could
deploy my reports. I didn't know how to configure the firewall to
allow me to access the computer, so I found that disabling the
firewall was the best method.
Anyway, that solved my problem.
