Access web service from another local machine

[god_bless_the_world]

Hi, I have created a webservice LoginWS for login authentication on a machine with the ip address as 192.168.10.3. I can access the webservice on that machine with the url http://192.168.10.3/Project1/LoginWS.asmx. The web service for login authentication works like a charm when I access it on the localhost. Now, I have another machine 192.168.10.5 on the same network. How do I access the above mentioned webservice from this machine? I used the above mentioned URL, it gave a internal server error.:confused: Could any of you kindly let me know how to make it work?? Thanks in advance for your help....

First of all, thanks a lot for your reponse.. Actually, I am not trying to access it using a client program. I just wanted to access the webservice on 192.168.10.3 from the machine 192.168.10.5. When I use the url http://192.168.10.3/Project1/LoginWS it gaves a HTTP 500 Internal server error and says that the page can not be displayed.

Actually, it's weird probs :doh:. Becoz there is a ton of reasons if u google it ;(. Let's try with a client program. Maybe it shows more friendly error msg. so that we can guess << >>

Disable "Show friendly HTTP error messages" in the Advanced settings in Internet Options in Internet Explorer. Then you will see the error message that come from the server. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

I got the answer from a friend's friend....I had to enable the application to work on port 80. It was using some other port before that In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't. - Blaise Pascal
