The server instance must be a domain. If you try to use an IP address you will get this error.

Editing the IP into my hosts file with a domain and then using that solved the issue.

GO to the SQL Server and execute the command, select @@servername(); it gives you the SQL Server Instance name. That instance name you have to provide while configuring the SSRS Report. That's it.

Please do not use IP while configuring SSRS, just use SQL Server Instance Name.
