Hi Bob,
the way to embed Reports in yaour ASP.NEt app dependes on the type of usage.
If you want to display a report in some kind of 'frame' on your page, giving the user the ability to choose parameters and so on, you could use the Reporting Services Web Control. A short introduction is found here: http://forums.asp.net/t/1281716.aspx and here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251671(VS.80).aspx
If you want to parameterize the report in code or display the Report as an PDF (which is preferable sometimes as the rendering is guaranteed to be as it prints), you could use the SOAP protocol from within .NET, which is not too difficult, but it involves some classes and configurations.
For me a good entry point for understanding how it works was here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.rsexecutionservice2005.reportexecutionservice(SQL.90).aspx
Just some quick links; hope it helps a bit...

Yes you need the server name.
YOu have the options Guenter provided you can also use URL Access to display the report.
