Troubleshooting WebService

I have a Web servcie that works fine on my development machine, but I can't
get it to work on a clean machine that I am trying to deploy it on.

The development machine is running XP. The deployment machine is running
Windows 2003 Server. The web service was built with visual studio 2005. .net
framework 1.1 and 2.0 are both installed on both machines.

I have tried copying the folder that the web service is in directly from the
machine that it works on to the machine it doesn't work on, so everything is
exactly the same, including subfolders. When I do this, I make one change to
the web.config file to change a path that is different between the two
machines, other than that it is exactly the same. So, this makes me think
it's not any problem with the folders/files under the web service. I have
tried setting debug to true and to false in the web.config and neither makes
a difference.

I put a test html page in the same directory as the web service on the
machine that is not working, and was able to access it through IE, so this
makes me think it is not a problem with the IIS setup.

I have verified that the properites in IIS are the same on both machines -
both are set to "scripts and executables"

On both machines I am testing whether the webservice is working by trying to
access it through IE like this:
http://localhost/nameofmyvirtualdir/myfile.asmx

I am not running sharepoint on either machine.

Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

I've have registered ASP.NET (by running aspnet_regiis.exe -i from the .net
framework 2.0 dir.)

thanks for your help!
