Can't add web reference

I've got the simple hello world example web service running on my local
machine.
I can browse it and examine it as usual from IE

When I try to add it as a web reference to a VB.NET project I get the
message:
"The proxy settings on this computer are not configured correctly for web
discovery. Click the Help button for more information."

This all worked just fine a couple of weeks ago on the same machine.
It seems to be a common problem but I can't find a solution, someone must
know how to fix this.

Thanks,
Simon.

Go into IE and turn off the proxy, or include localhost int eh exclude list.

Thanks Chad but I already have:
Automatically detect settings : ON
Use automatic configuration script : OFF
Use proxy server : OFF

I am on a LAN with an internet-connected router
No proxy server
Visual studio, the Web Service and consumer app are all on the same machine.

Chad,

Didn't work, solution that worked for me:

1. Re-installed VS
2. Caused different error to be seen:
_The type initializer for "System.Net.Dns" threw an exception._
_The type initializer for "System.Net.Sockets.Socket" threw an exception._
3. Installed service pack for framework 1.1
4. Now working.

Thanks for taking the time to help.
Simon.
