Web Services vs. SP2

[Marcos]

Hi.

I´ve installed IIS in a XP Pro with SP2 already configured. When I tried to
access an web service in the localhost, my app generates an exception.

What can be the problem?

Thanks in advance

Hi Marcos

If you access it on a port other than port 80, then it might be the SP2 new
Firewall feature. Turn of the Firewall if you already behind a company
firewall or create a rule that will allow inbound/outbound traffic on that
port.

The quickest way to determine if it is the new firewall, is to switch it off
altogether (control panel-security), then test your web service. If it pass,
then work on the firewall if it still fails, then it might be the web
service accessing an internal resource, (database, file etc.).

Can you debug and step to see exactly where the web service fails.?
