: Thanks for your help so far, In response to your questions;
:
: a) just to clarify we have a number of down level clients connecting to
the
: web services.
: b) Yes it is when telneting in that the 404 error is generated, when
called
: from a web browser, or wFetch the page is called and all works, I am
: convinced it is a security issue with IIS.

: example telnet session:
: telnet www.myserver.com 80
: GET
: /VirtualDir/WebserviceName.asmx/MethodName?Param1=param2&param2=Param2...
: HTTP/1.1
: HOST: www.myserver.com
:
: returns:
:
: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
: Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 09:06:48 GMT
: Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
: MicrosoftOfficeWebServer: 5.0_Pub
: X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
: X-AspNet-Version: 1.1.4322
: Cache-Control: private
: Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
: Content-Length: 1533

: If I compose the URL as follows:
:
:
www.myserver.com/VirtualDir/WebserviceName.asmx/MethodName?Param1=param2&par
: am2=Param2...
