C# Web Service Error

[lestatdelioncourt]

I have developed an ASPX site on a lap-top with a local copy of SQL server. This site uses an ASPX page to connect to a C# WebService to retrieve data. This all works fine.

However when I move the site onto a desk-top PC (Same versions of VS and .Net Frame work). The WebServices are still local but the SQL server is now remote, when I hit the WS url directly it happily goes away and retrieves the data from SQL server. But when the ASPX page tries to access the WS I get the error:

The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server.

Also I can not debug the WS from the ASPX.

I have checked all of the configuration (as much as I know), and the IIS and .Net configurations are Identical. I have also followed the instructions on here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vsdebug.asp.

But can not trace the issue

Any ideas?

What user account are your web services running under? And do they have network access?

Thanks, I worked it all out.

The companies anti virus was blocking port 80. Therefore preventing access to the web service.
