Hi, i create an asp.net webservice, then reference this webservice in another
project in the same machine, it works well when using "localhost" to locate
the webservice but fails when using the ip address of my machine (neither
does using the hostname), it says "downloading webservice error because of
the destination machine rejecting..."
It seems not a development problem but one of the windows configuration, i
just hope get some help here.
the running env is vista+vs2008, and there are two net devices available,
and i am also confused about which ip i should use when access the webservice
from the net.

Are you hosting the webservice in IIS, or in the internal server in Visual Studio? It it is the latter, then you are out of luck: the internal server only responds to localhost; you will need to move the webservice into IIS if you wish to access it through your computer's external IP address.
