Before giving any advice, let me say that deploying reports is not always a straightforward process and you may run into multiple errors at any step. There are a lot of configurations that may not be set up correctly, and figuring out what is wrong isn't exactly straightforward.

ON THE SERVER:
First, make sure that your host has SQL Server with reporting services installed, IIS, asp.net activated.
Go to start--> Programs --> SQL Server 200x --> Configuration Tools --> Reporting Services Configuration. Make sure that the first 6 items on the menu at the left are all green check marked, and initialization is also green. If you see a red X through anything, you are probably going to run into problems.
As a quick test, on the host machine, fire up IE and go to http://localhost/reports . Even though you haven't deployed anything, you should be sent to the report manager. If you don't, you *probably* don't have permissions set up in IIS or SQL Server.

ON THE DEV MACHINE:
Open the report in Vstudio, go to Project --> Project Properties.
TargetReportFolder can be anything, but should be a recognizable name for the report.
TargetServerURL should be http://<SERVER NAME>/reportserver, In your case http://za001b78ad82c4/ReportServer. Or, just do http://localhost/reportserver to deploy to your local box.
Go to Build --> Deploy Project. Cross your fingers, If everything is set up correctly, it will deploy everything to the server and you should be able to access it via http://za001b78ad82c4/ReportServer.
