Displaying images from Windows folder in SSRS report

I am trying to make a report in BIDS (2008) that will include external images. We want to use the report to validate images and other information before we approve our flyer for printing. I did a little bit of work but didn't get any help yet. The path to images will be image specific, for example "\\ nETWORKSERVER \ ServerD \ Docs \ Flyer Images \ Quarterly Flyer \ ImageName.png". The url works fine when I paste it into the search bar of my local computer or the server that has BIDS installed on it, but the report does not display an image. When I add an image to a textbox, how do I configure it to display an image when I run a report? The images are on a different server than the report server.

It should be possible, but you just need to format the link correctly and make sure that the execution account for the SSRS server has access to that network location.
