Login Security issues

RS installed on machine outside the firewall using SQL installed locally,
accessing data on SQL server inside the firewall using a shared data source.
Have given group browser rights on the top-level folder in RS.
When user initially accesses the reports home page, they are prompted for a
login and then the home page folders are displayed. Clicking on the folder
displays all the reports. Accessing a report prompts for login again. Same
user & password will display the report - and the login is not requested
again for the duration of the session.
How to avoid prompting for login twice?
Thanks
MarkI have more information on this issue...
WHen accessing from outside, the first login grants access to the home page
and the reports folders. However, when selecting a report - at the point
where we get a second login request in side the firewall - instead we get an
error:
The page cannot be displayed
Cannot find server or DNS Error|||More details...
Inside the firewall all works fine..
Outside the firewall I get these results...
This is the home page:
http://<server>/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
This page works fine
Click on the folder for Remedy Reports and it goes here
http://<server>/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=%2fRemedy+Reports&IsDetailsView=False
This page works fine
Click on a report to view it and..
http://<server>/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fRemedy+Reports%2f72+Hour+Report
Outside the firewall, this page gets an error:
Cannot find server or DNS error|||Hopefully someone else can jump in with the particulars but I remember
seeing in another post
where there was a place in a config file that you need to make a change so
the server is in the form of servername.blah.blah rather than just
servername.
Just a guess since I have not had this situation occur before.

Vasilevsy's response here for anyone who runs across it...
Try accessing /ReportServer virtual folder (not /Report) from outside the
intranet, if it works, you just need to configure Report Manager application
properly.
The simplest way to do this is when you are running Report Server and Report
Manager application on the same machine (this is the only option available
when you run setup). Go look at the Report Manager configuration file,
RSWebApplication.config. There is a UI section
<UI>
<ReportServerUrl>http://intranet-computer-name/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl
>
</UI>
Change it to
<UI>
<ReportServerVirtualDirectory>/ReportServer</ReportServerVirtualDirectory>
</UI>
You should be able to access Report Manager from both intranet and internet.
