External Image URL doesn't work !

Hi
I have downloaded SP1, and am trying to display an image by URL.
I have followed the steps described in the SP1Readme. However i am still unable to view my image in the "Preview" mode in report designer and also through report server. When i right click to view the source of my webpage, the image src is empty like this <img class="R1" src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=">.
Any idea, what can be wrong? This is what i did:
1) set in designer Source=External
2) set Value=http://localhost/Webmodule/test.img
3) image immediately showed up
4) Go to "Preview" mode in designer, image shows a red cross
5) ran rsconfig -e -m mycomputer -s mycomputer -u user1 -p password
6) deploy .rdl onto report server
7) image still shows a red cross
8) when view source, it shows <img class="R1" src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=">
I have set my datasource credentials to "credentials stored securely on report server" and provided the username and password in the report manager.
chiara.IMG is an unsupported image format. Supported are bmp, jpeg, gif, png, and
x-png.
