Can't access SQL Report Server 2008 remotely (SSRS)

Hi,
I have SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services (SSRS) installed on a windows 2008 R2 server. I have configured the SSRS and it works perfectly locally on the server.
When I try to access the ReportServer (http://servername:8050/Reports) from a different PC on the same network , the request times out and get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error.
The Service account that I ahve used for the SSRS is the "Network Service"

What could be wrong ?

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks ryanmccauley
That was exactly the issue. The windows firewall was blocking the port. I added the exception and now its working fine.

Thanks
