Reporting Services on a Workgroup based network?

Can I use Reporting Services 2005 in a workgroup to serve reports for a windows application which is distributed accross the network?

I've already tried but when the application on a client pc requested a report from the report server i got a message about not having enough permissions to see the report. The windows application was builded using VB .NET 2.0 and VS2005.

The report server instance is installed on a server 2003 enterprise along with the SQL Server 2005.

If this is possible how can set permisions or make my application to be able to requests and show reports?

Thanks a lot to anybody who takes the time to answer.

I think the problem with wkgrp is that IIS authenticates the client as an anonymous user (verify this in your IIS log). You can probably use anonymous, basic or forms authentication.sql
