Externally Accessing localmachine to view reports

How is it possible for others to browse to my localmachine and view the reports?
They tried browsing to http://machinename/reports
and http://10.1.3.123/reports

But the message the users get is: You are not authorized to view this page.

Then In my localmachine, I changed the IIS setting for the Reports and ReportServer to allow anonymous access. Then the users were able to see the Home page of the reports but not the reports themselves to click on for viewing. Any thoughts please?
Thanks

Have you created role assignments for the remote users?

When you enable Anonymous, everyone coming into the Report Server looks like the same user (the anonymous user), but you still need to give the anonymous user RS permissions, but then everyone has those permissions, and you probably don't want that.
