I cannot seem to get an answer to this problem. Hopefully somebody
here can help.
I am using .net 1.1 wit sp1 under windows xp pro.
I can't access any web services on the internet from a windows
application.
If the web service is on my localhost I can access it.
I can access an internet web service from a webapp but cannot access
the same web service from a windows app.
Using a simple win app provided with the google api and I get
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.Web Exception' occurred in
system.dll. Additional information: The underlying connection was
closed: Unable to connect to the remote server."
However, I can access the above google web service via a web app.
Surely someone must know something about this.
Thanks in advance

To me this sounds like some kind of security issue outside .NET and your
application. Do you have a (desktop) firewall in place on your PC or
network? If yes, is it locked so that non-admin-approved applications cannot
access the network?
Especially in larger organizations, it is quite common to configure security
policies so that applications that aren't already on the "white list" cannot
access the Internet. This prevents rogue applications from using your PC to
send spam, for example.

I disabled the firewall entirely and it did not help.

Paul,

Then there is something else going on in your PC and/or network. The
exception "The underlying connection was
closed" could be caused by the server (which is most likely), but also any
network component in between.
Try testing the web service with your web browser, or try to write a simple
WinForms application that simply calls the service. If these work, then
there is something with your web service application that doesn't work.

Hi, I'm a bit confused ... when would I rather write an database
application using MS Access and Visual Basic and when (and why) would I
rather write it using Visual Studio .Net?
Is it as easy in Visual Studio to create reports and labels as it's in
Access?`
The advantage of VS.net is that not every user needs Access, right? And
that would eliminate the Access version problem as well I guess.

Hey all -
I'm having a really confusing problem concerning a web service. Right
now, I have an application that needs to call a web service that does
nothing but return "true" (this will obviously change once the
program's fully built to actually do something, but for testing, it
works).
The only code I added to the service is below:

Hi,
It said that IIS 6 use HTTP.sys as the front end for

to w3wp.exe, but after some simple experiments,
I found the security settings (e.g. Authentication method)

Anyone one can explain this for me? or point to an

Hi all,
We have a web application that uses web services for data access and
retrieval. The web app and web services reside under IIS on the same
server(WIN2003). The virtual directories have been set for windows
authentication and both the ASP web application and the web services are
using windows authentication with impersonation of the logged on user. We
also set the web service credentials to CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials.
