First thing I would do is check my proxy settings in your browser. Ensure
you have selected to bypass the proxy for local request.
Next I would ensure that the machine name of your comptuer is the same as it
was when you intalled report server (the setup uses that value when forming
the URL).
Next, check that in the file rswebapplication.config under the report
manager install folder, you should find the entry reportserverurl. Ensure
the URL references your actual machinename.
If that fails, try to remove the reportserverurl element and replace it with
a reportservervirtualdirectory element and set the value to the path
"/reportserver". This should mean the report manager will look for the
report server on whatever path you access it on (e..g if you type
http://localhost/reports in the address bar, report manager will look at
http://localhost/reportserver to find the URL.
