sql server reporting services : Install Error Question - Unable to connect to SQL-Server Instance

I am new to SQL Reporting Service. I have VS.Net 2003 and IIS installed on
one Computer running Windows 2000 Pro (computer #1) and SQL Server Enterprise
installed on a Window Server 2003 (computer #2). When I try to install SQL
RS Enterprise on computer #1, the error occurs at the step in the wizard
where Setup is asking for the SQL-Server Instance Name and Report Server
Database name and Credential Type.

The error is "Unable to connect to the SQL-Server Instance". No matter
what credential type I selected, I always get the error. I even tried using
the SQL-Login Account and I already made sure that the SQL-Login ID has
permission to create databases.

Any helps and/or comments will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

My additional question: Where should the RS be installed ? and which
components be installed where ? on the machine with SQL-Server or on the
web server with IIS ?
