I am at my wits end and turn to you guys in hopes of learning the correct procedure.

For any given web service X, regardless of (and without knowing) what technology was used to create it, is it possible to consume it with either a win form or an aspx page developed in VB.net 1.1 and VS2003?

I can create a web service and consume it from localhost, no problem.
But I can't seem to consume external web services, e.g. http://www.webservicex.net/usweather.asmx?wsdl .

In fact, I would be extremely grateful if anyone point me to even one example of working code that consumes a working web service hosted on a currently accessible remote server so that I can see an intact example of the "whole egg".

Much obliged, and thanks in advance.

John, you don't find any such examples because there is no need for any. It should work exactly the same way it does for "localhost".

Please tell us exactly what exception you're seeing. Post the entire exception, including any InnerException. Also, tell us exactly what steps you're taking and exactly what the result of each step is.
