Hi Param,
From your description, you're encountering some problem with proxy setting
of an ASP.NET web application which access a remote webservice, correct?
As you mentioned that sometimes the webserver machine is not placed in the
domain network environment(where the proxy server is accessible),
therefore, it is reasonable that when the server is not in domain network,
the webrequest call(via webservice) which utilize the system proxy
setting(default use IE setting) will fail.
I suggest you try the following approach:
1. In web.config file, you can turn off default proxy and manually specify
a proxy(in the <system.netconfigure section):
=============
<system.net>
<defaultProxy >
<proxy usesystemdefault="false" proxyaddress="" ></proxy>
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
==============
2. Or you can manually set a proxy for the webservice's proxy in code. e.g.
==========
basicSVC.Service1 client = new basicSVC.Service1();
client.Proxy = new WebProxy("http://myproxy");
..............
===========
For how the .NET framework detect proxy, here is a good article for your

Subject: web service access - proxy server issue
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:09:43 -0500
Hi all,
I have an asp.net 2.0 website that accesses a locally hosted web service.
This works fine on servers that are connected to our network. However, I am
having a problem with a laptop server that I have built. The code that
tries
to connect to the web service breaks if the laptop is not within our
network. Further debugging has revealed that this is due to a proxy server
issue. Our domain sets the proxy server via GPO for all machines on our
network. I have however disabled the proxy server in IE settings and have
confirmed that works. However for some reason .net does not seem to be
picking up this change and it still appears to be looking for our proxy
server even when it is not in our network i.e. remote offsite etc. I even
searched the registry for all instances of string occurence of our proxy
server and deleted them.
Any ideas?
