Simple Webservice problem

Software2007

I have written a small webservice (C#) that gets a list of users from SQL Data Base all on my local machine (192.168.1.101). If I do: -localhost:6035/service1.asmx (works) -127.0.0.1:6035/service1.asmx (works) -192.168.1.101:6035/service1.asmx (Doesn't work) The goal I want to be able to access this webservice from my other machine on same network (192.168.1.102). But, I have to get it to work on same machine first! I tried the following so far with no success: - I have turned off the firewall all the way. - >route -p ADD 192.168.1.101 MASK 255.255.255.255 MASK 127.0.0.1 Anyone?

Which version of Windows are you on?? Have you tried the code from a different machine accessing the database on your machine??

Windows 7. No. How do I do that? I tried putting in 192.168.1.104 from my other machine, I got the default IIS7 page. If I do 192.168.1.104:6035/Service1.asmx it stops working

Turning off the firewall on Windows 7 doesn't really open up all the ports on the machine. It's a bit of the opposite. What do you mean "It stops working"?? What does it actually do? What are the error mesasges? Do you have an exception put into the Win7 firewall for Inbound port 6035? I think the URL should be closer to "http://192.168.1.104:6035/YourServiceProjectNameHere/Service1.asmx"

The above poster is correct. Basically, when you create a webservice "Service.asmx" on one machine, you need to publish it on IIS before you can get at it from another machine even if it is on same network. This link a step by step of how to get it published. http://a1ashiish-csharp.blogspot.com/2012/01/cnet-how-to-publish-web-service-in-iis.html[^] Once published, You can do this from your other machine: http://192.168.1.101/YourWebServiceFolderUnderWWWRoot/Service.asmx

He doesn't have the same problem. From what I can tell, he's a spammer.
