Report Builder and Report Server cross domain communication

I have client machine in one domain, say A domain , on which I have installed .net 2.0 without any problem. I have report server running in other domain (B domain) where I have deployed few models which will be used from domain A to create ad hoc reports by launching Report Builder. I can access other reports in domain B from A

But when I click on Report Builder ..it tries to connect to server in domain B but fails to connect and shows following log in a text pop up

I know, problem is because of cross domain communication but question is then how to fix it ? what changes I need to do for that in firewall, domain etc etc settings?

Here is the error, I have highlighted lines which might give some clue:

After spending one night, I have fixed this problem myself

In IIS you should allow anonymous access to folder ReportServer/ReportBuilder folder and thats it....

One night's effort to fix a bug in 30 seconds...what a waste :-(
