Hi Abeslom,

Did you already tried the (small) newsgroup

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.webservices

I know that Jan Tielens is active there a very smart guy, however I assume
there are more there.

I hope this helps?

Have you looked at the obvious things, like making sure a network proxy
isn't getting in the way, or passing neccesary credentials to authenticate
you to the remote web service. If your using IE to check access then it may
be doing authentication passthrough - so turn this off in your browser and
see what you get back. Also, if the service expects to pass cookies then
your browser would take them but you will need to create a cookie cache in
your client to consume the service. Also, the web service may not actually
permit a get request.
