Newbie Problems Configuring Report Server

I have SQL 2005 with SP 1. I am in the reporting services configuration
manager and I am at the point where the following options have green circles
with checkmarks:
Server Status
Report Server Virtual Directory
Report Manager Virtual Directory
Windows Service Identity
Web Service Identity
Database Setup
Encryption Keys is a blue circle with an exclamation point with the choices
Backup, Restore, Change and Delete. I choose Backup and gave the key a
password and clicked ok but the applied button at the bottom stayed grayed
out.
Below the Encryption Keys button is Initialization and that is in a gray
circle with a checkmark. Since it is gray I can not select it.
What is it that the configuration manager is waiting for me to do?
I tried going into the SQL Server Management Studio to see if I could
connect to the Report Server from there. I get an error message saying
"Cannot connect to RBDS01. The request failed with HTTP Status 400: Bad
Request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)
I would appreciate any ideas as to what I need to do so that I can connect
to the Report Server?
Thanks.

www.rbdata.comIf the "server status" shows green then it is ok that your server is
connecting. encryption is optional it creates automatically so if you want
to change or take backup this can be done using this option.
otherwise it should work seeing the green check mark on "server status" Hope
you are connecting to the same server you configured. ie (RBDS01)
Go to surface area and check for the network enabled in which you are
accesing ie tcp/ip.
