Thanks, but it doesn't make sense to be DNS, otherwise I wouldn't be able to
access the service at all from externally. Here's the procedure that we have
gone through-
The developer created the webservice on his own machine, and tested it with
a sample Windows application.
We created a new virtual directory on the web server (which is externally
accessible) and copied the necessary files across
We then created another test application using the new server (but from
internally), which worked fine
After going home, I created another test application and added a Web
Reference to the service's external URL
It all came up fine, showing us the test page, so then I clicked the "Add
Reference button", the window disappeared, then a few minutes later, I get a
dialog box stating-

Unable to download following files from .
http://172.16.xxx.xxx/rocket/rocket.asmx?wsdl
Do you want to skip these files and continue?

We have searched all the files, and none of them specify this IP address, or
even has anything like the string "?wsdl"
We were also using the .vsdisco file that visual studio had provided.

 Hope this is a bit clearer

 Cheers,
  Mark
