I have some SSRS reports that I am looking to use Report Builder 3 with them.
Currently I was moved to a new laptop. The problem I am having is that the connection to the server from the report is not working, I am getting this message:
"Connection failed. Unable to connect to the server specified URL // www. etc"

I have access to this server via VPN and Remote desktop.

I need someone who can explain to me what the reasons are why this is failing.


Platform:
Report Builder 3 R2, SSRS, SQL Server 2008
