.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Services / November 2004Curiousity- why Web Services dont work with firewall
Hi, I have Win XP SP2 installed on a machine.. When I have the inbuilt firewall on, I am not able to connect to the web services residing in that machine, from another machine. And when I turn it of , I am able to connect to the Web Service.. Would anyone know why?? Please let me know.. Thanks, Sumaira Well Sumaira, That’s what the firewall is intended for. You should open port 80 (or someone else if accessing the service by soap.tcp) to allow incoming requests to your machine. HTH, Martin Kulov www.codeattest.com Hi Sumaria, I agree with the earlier response. Your firewall is doing it's job. You can open Port 80 if you want wide open access to your service on your computer. You may want to do this with some caution, as this will be one of the first ports hackers start to ping. If you want to limit what machines can call your service, you can open the port, and then add port filtering security to the web service itself. Also be sure to add port filtering to the default web site, and take precautionary measures such as disabling/deleting the IIS web based admin page.
