Hi,

Apparently you have some issues with the permissions.

Are you using a different login to connect to SQL Server from the other PC? If so, it might be that you don't have a required user in the "report" database. Try this:
1. Connect to SQL Server Management Studio on server machine.
2. Type and execute the following statements (replacing YourUser with the name of the login you're using to connect to SQL Server from the other PC):

SQL

USE [report];
GO

CREATE USER [YourUser] FOR LOGIN [YourUser];
GO

If the user already existed, then you should try to remap the login with the DB user:

SQL

USE [report];
GO

sp_change_users_login 'UPDATE_ONE', 'YourUser', 'YourUser';
GO

3. Connect to SQL Server Management Studio from the other PC and check it.

Also, take a look at this: User can't see database in SQL Server 2008 R2[^]

Please let me know if you need further assistance.
