Error connecting to Reporting Services 2005 using SQL Server Management Studio

I have configured my report server using Reporting Services Configuration Manager. I have green checks across the board. I can connect to the report server via the web to view reports and I can develop and publish reports, but I can not connect to Reporting Services using SQL Server Management Studio. I receive the error listed in plain text below. I've spent four hours trying to resolve this with no luck.

  • Jetpac1

    If the RS installation is an instance, specify machinename\instancename in the connection dialog.

    You could additionally try to connect with Management Studio with http.

    http://machinename/reportserver
