External Image Problem

I've placed a logo I'd like on my reports at the path
http://<servername>/reports/images/logo.gif
I've also performed the instructions as per the article "Configuring an
Account for Unattended Report Process" in the RS BOL. I've also re-started
IIS, several times yet I still cannot get the logo to show when I view the
report via the Report Manager.
If I login to the machine using the account used in the article above, I can
access the URL no problem via IE.
Any suggestions on what to try next appreciated?If the image is on the same server as the report, try using folder path
instead of URL, e.g. "/images/logo.gif".

Unfortunately, that didn't work either. Any other ideas?

report server (e.g. through uploading it in report manager) and then
reference the image via a relative path inside the report server. Did you do
this?

via Report Manager. The image itself is in the database so it doesn't follow
the directory hierarchy define in the Report Manager - right? So, if I
upload test.gif to the /MyFolder directory in Report Manager, how would I
access it and what image type (Embedded, Project, Database or Web) would I
select in the Report Designer?

If you upload the image through report manager on a report server, then you
won't see it when you just preview a report in report designer. Only after
the report is deployed on the server!
Instead of independently uploading the image resources through report
manager, you may consider looking into so-called "Project Images" which are
contained in the report project and get automatically deployed to a report
server when deploying the entire report project from report designer. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rscreate/htm/rcr_creating_layout_v1_0rz9.asp
You would add the images as project images in the report project and then
reference them as e.g. test.gif in the report without the need to specify a
path. This is because the project images will get deployed in the same
folder as the reports.

http://<server>/Reportserver?%2fMyFolder%2ftest.gif. But, is there a way to
get the IMG tag generated in the HTML to use this form rather than always
returning a stream ID?
I have existing images in a web environment that I just want to reference in
the image tags. I can't write to our web servers (for security reasons) and
I can't have report parameters visible via "View Source" in the browser (I am
using secure web services to avoid this). The default image tags generated
break our security and privacy policies (report parameters are visible that
have our internal IDs) and if I set streamroot, I still have to deal with
generating an image with the stream ID (which I can't anywhere). Any help
would be much appreciated.
