Hi,

It sounds like there is a security setting on the application that you need
to work around.  Normally, a new service won't have this issue, since the
default local dev box just uses the IIS default permissions.

It sure doesn't seem like anon access is allowed...  Are you sure the
account that the app runs as has log in as service permission on the
machine?

I have created a simple web service in VC# that adds two numbers. It
returns
an integer value to the client once invoked.
I used Visual Studio .NET 2003, Windows XP Pro and .NET 1.1.

I created a Windows form client. While debugging I get the following error :

Unhandled Exception: System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP
status 401: Access Denied.

in the following line:

object[] results = this.Invoke("myadd", new object[] {
                       a,
                       b});

"myadd" is the name of the function which adds the numbers. It takes in 2
integer values.

The environment runs on localhost.
Anonymous access is allowed.
I tried disabling the 'integrated windows authentication' but once I did it
& updated the client web reference, I was asked for username, password &
domain. So i checked it again.

Thank you!
