I have a web application in one server and reporting service in another
server. This web application is to list out report items. When I call web
application in any client machine, error is always shown - 'The request
failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied'. But if I install the reporting
service and web application in same server, there is no problem. Can anyone

Open the RSWebApplication.config file with a text editor. The first few
lines of the file will be similar to the following:

<Configuration>
<UI>
<ReportServerUrl>http://servername/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl>
</UI>

Replace the text between <ReportServerUrl> and </ReportServerUrl> with the
complete address that should be used to access the Reports website like,

<Configuration>
<UI>
<ReportServerUrl>http://www.xyzname.com/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl>
</UI>

or with IP address

<Configuration>
<UI>
<ReportServerUrl>http://192.162.x.y/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl>
</UI>

Hope this helps,
