webservice consumer error 405: Method Not Allowed

I have created a very simple web service and consumer test application. It
works like a charm on my development pc, but when I try to deploy it to an
intranet setting with an xp client and a windows 2003 server with IIS
running, the consumer application gets a 405 error when it tries to access a
web method.

I'm not sure whether this is security, deployment, or some miscellaneous
configuration that is the problem. For deployment, I created a virtual
folder in IIS and took all the defaults. I then copied the asmx file to the
virtual folder and added a bin folder with my web service project's compiled
dll. Is there more that I need to do? Something I read implied that that was
all there is to it, but maybe I'm missing something.

Also, I opened IE on the client (xp) machine and navigated to the asmx on
the server, but that gives me a "page cannot be found" message.

Any suggestions would be welcome, even if they're just general links to info
on web service deployment.
