RE: Operation timed-out downloading web service durning Add Web Reference - still no solution

Hi Joe,

Wecome to ASPNET newsgroup.
>From your description, you're encountering problem when try using the
VS.NET Add webreference function to create cilent proxy for a certain
remote webservice, and the problem is occuring after your server upgrated
to a DNS/AD server ,yes?

So based on the changing of your webservice hosting server, it's likely due
to the networking issue. Have you tried using the IP address of the server
to reference the online WSDL document and add it as webrefernce in VS.NET?
YOu can also try using the wsdl.exe utility to create proxy externally to
see whether it works.
Also, to confirm the networking issue, another means is to use IE browser
to view the WSDL description of the remote service (.....xxxx.asmx?wsdl
)and then save the document as a local xml file. After that , use wsdl.exe
for VS.NET add webreference to create the webservice proxy through the
local WSDL document.

Please feel free to post here if there're any other finding.

| I'm hosting my web service on a Windows 2003 box which is remotely
located.
| When trying to add a web reference to a C# project I get an error message
| 'There was an error downloading 'http://mydomain.com:port/webservice.asmx'
| The operation has timed-out
| (I've tried with and without using a separate port for the service)
|
| The weird thing is the page does show up on the left side of the screen
| listing the available methods but the Add Reference button is disabled.
|
| The web service is accessible from a web browser such as IE using the same
| URL and I can test the web service method using IE directly on the server
| itself.
|
| The service was working fine for several months but than stopped
responding
| to the application.
|
| The server was upgraded to a DNS/AD server which is when I think the
problem
| started happening.
|
| My dev machine is Win XP/SP2
