Problem viewing Reports from Network

Hi,
We have a network of XP Machines.
When i try to view the reports in the application from the same
machine itself it's coming up properly,but when i try to acess the
reports in the application from another machine it's giving me the
following error,
?The permissions granted to user ?OLDSERVER\Guest' are insufficient
for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
As a solution to the problem of permissions in the help it's mentioned
that we need to create roles in the SQL Server Report Manager for the
users whom we need to give access to the reports.When we are accessing
the reports from the network by default we are accessing the server as
guests who doesn't have much rights.So I have created role (Browser )
on SQL Server Report Manager for the guest user and tried accessing
the server.
Then it's giving the following error
The Error Log description for the error was as follows,
aspnet_wp!library!cd4!10/13/2004-21:48:41:: e

Problem using Client Tools to Remotely Connect to a SQL Server Instance on Anoth

Someone please help me before I loose all of my hair :mad: !!!

I have two machines, a Windows Server 2003 machine running an SQL Server Standard Edition database instance and client tools (Enterprize Manager etc.), and a workstation PC running Windows XP SP2 which has just the SQL Server client tools (not an actual DB instance).

I'm trying to use the Enterprize Manager client tool on my WinXP machine to remotely connect to the server instance on the server PC (via 'New SQL Server Registration' option). Everytime I do this I get the following error message:

Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection.

Now I've tried using different usernames and passwords. I have login details for my SQL Server set to use Windows Login rather then SQL Server login, so I tried remotely connecting with the username and password for the server PC, tried 'sa' with server password, even tried setting up a new user on the server and logging in from the client with that, no luck. I've opened up correct ports 1433 on both PCs, even disabled the windows firewalls algother. Both server and client have SP3a installed, WinServer2003 has SP1 and XP SP2.

So I'm at a loss to how to remotely connect to my SQL Server. FYI I know the server itself is working fine because I can connect to it using Enterprize Manager/Query Analyser on the local machine. Any ideas? Many thanks for your help!If the client and the server are on the same domain, or if the client account belongs to the tree where domain belongs to, then you can use Windows authentication. But if you already tried this, can you do a TELNET from the client with 1433 successfully?|||I've not setup a Domain Controller. Anyway I've solved it, I had SQL Server running in Windows Authentification Mode, so I switched to mixed mode and all is well now :)
