I have a local web service. I have a client windows app referencing the
webservice. The client was successfully calling the webservice until a few
days back. It stopped working for no apparent reason. When i tried updating
the web reference on the client app, I get the error "There was an error
downloading 'http://***/***/***.asmx'.
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found."

I do not recollect making any changes to the .NET settings or the IIS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

What happens when you try and type "http://***/***/***.asmx" in a web
browser?
