Report Viewer 2.0 Windows Authentication

Hello,
We have an public site with a page now using ASP.NET 2.0 and the 2.0 Report
Viewer control (we previously tried this with RS 2000 for many, many months).
It is connecting to a (NAT'd FQDN) SQL2005 Report Server using default
Windows authentication. There is a local user setup on the Report Server
that I want this public site to connect as (I can do this by typing
credentials). I do not want and can not have the pop-up windows
authentication. HOW DO I AUTHENTICATE WITHOUT TYPING IN CREDENTIALS?
We are a Gold Partner and would really appreciate a direct solution to this
issue. There has been countless similar requests that come up on all kinds
of searches, yet no direct solution. We don't need to know that you have to
implement "IReportServerCredentials". Please provide an exact example of how
this is accomplished. If you can provide it in VB.NET even better.
Thanks.I read a similar post where the person said that they couldn't reveal exactly
how to do this since they were about to sell it. Nice. Why is this such a
mystery item?
Any MS people that may listen, this should be easy! I'm tired of hearing
that we should give up on RS and use Data Dynamics ActiveReports .NET. Why
can't we easily handle authentication and put these other programs to rest?
Our local intranet deployments are wonderful. Why can't we easily take them
further?
Thanks!

Dim RS As New ReportingService2005
RS.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
if so I would think that alone would be enough at least to lead you in the
right direction.
I am currently making that RS object to do various things to the report
itself and its our report so we really dont have credentials I dont think so
I am not sure how to expand from there.
We had a learning curve this morning on the IIS that runs the reporting
service but I dont think that is what you are refering to. In that case we
had to set to anynomous I believe although not sure things have been moving
fast here.
