An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in system.web.services.dll

Hey guys - I'm really new to this .NET programming so please bear with
me ...

(vb.NET)
I'm trying to fill in the list contents of a combo box on the open
event of a form. this list will list all of the report from the
reporting server (sql server reporting services 2000).

to do this i have done:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.btnNewSub.Enabled = False
'we need to fill in the details of the combo box cmbReport

'this is to fill in the combo box of reports
_rs.Url = "http://SERVER_NAME/ReportServer/ReportService.asmx"

Dim items() As CatalogItem
items = _rs.ListChildren("/", True)
'populate the box now
Me.cmbReport.Items.Clear()
Dim item As CatalogItem
For Each item In items
If item.Type = ItemTypeEnum.Report Then
cmbReport.Items.Add(New ReportItem(item.Name,
item.Path))
End If
Next
cmbReport.DisplayMember = "Name"
cmbReport.ValueMember = "Path"
End Sub

ReportItem() is a private class that returns the Name and Path of the
item.

I am getting this error:
""An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in
system.web.services.dll

Additional information: The request failed with HTTP status 401:
Unauthorized.""

Any idea how to fix this? get around it? The account that i'm using has
admin rights to every machine ( setup is as follows: IIS & SQL
Reporting Services is installed on one machine connecting to another
machine which holds the SQL database. I'm programming from my machine.)

Thanks in advance and let me know if i need to explain anymore!!

Any idea how to fix this? get around it? The account that i'm using has

1. Allow anonymous access in IIS
2. Provide NetworkCredentials to the network classes.
