what do i need to enable accessing of webservices from a clients PC ??

what do i need to enable accessing of webservices from a clients PC

i'm hosting some webservices from my server in VB.NET.
i've got some client windows applications done in VB.NET.
what have i got to install on the clients PC to be able to access these
webservices??
Will just the .NET Framework suffice???
Or do i have to install SOAP??
note - the OS of the client can be win98, win2K, win3000, winXP

second, (with regards to SOAP)...

If i've got to install SOAP, then what of the fact that MS have stopped
supporting SOAP??

so does this mean this is the end of SOAP??
how will or do webservices work without SOAP???

You're hosting on the server, so you must have a web server of some kind
running there.
If the client PC can see the webserver (http://myServer/somepage.html) then
the client PC can similarly access the web service:
http://myServer/someService.asmx
If I assume you're using Internet Information Server, have you setup a
virtual directory for the web service? Is there any security setup on that
V/directory?

hope that helps,
