Detailed information:

Server 1 : ERP and MS SQL, nothing else connected with PowerBI;

On Server 2, where is the Power BI Report Server I have made a connection to the SQL server.

Here are all the settings for Power BI Report Server:

Here is the conncetion to the SQL server:

 

Power BI is working ok from any computer in the local network. Only the data refreshing is not working. Am I missing something or maybe doing something wrong.

That's all! Thanks in advance!
