Hi,
I am trying to call a web service running in localhost through pocket PC phone Emulator.I cradled it to active sync

The following is URL of my web service
http://localhost:1043/VLR/Service.asmx

In device program i wrote

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           localhost.Service ls = new localhost.Service();
           string a = ls.authenticate("adssad","fssfd", "dsada");
           MessageBox.Show(a);
       }

Where authenticate is a method i defined in my web service.
The following are the error when i execute

MSIL

System.Net.WebException was unhandled
  Message="Could not establish connection to network."
  StackTrace:
    at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.finishGetResponse()
    at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()

    at System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Visible()
    at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
    at DeviceApplication2.Program.Main()

I replaced localhost with 127.0.0.1. If i put my original IP address, the web service could not be loaded. Is there any way out ?

The emulator pretends to be a separate device. Localhost (127.0.0.1) will only work on your host computer. Try using the IP address of your computer instead.

Thanks. But I tried that. But while adding web reference, i replaced localhost with my IP address. The webservice was not loaded.

Hmm. Then let's try to find out the right URL in a different way. First try to call the URL of the webservice from your webbrowser. It should display a description of the webmethods. If not, the webservice (or more likely the IIS) may not be configured properly. In that case it is no wonder the emulator can't access it. Once you have found it, you may try to locate it the same way with the browser of the emulator. Then you should know the right URL and can be certain that the webservice really is running.

You are right. I created a virtual directory in IIS, placed my web service code in wwwroot directory and when i gave "http://praveen/", OLEDB error message was displayed. I am following the guidelines given by http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx to solve that problem

Now when i replace localhost with computer name that is praveen, the web service is loading. But the web exception error still remains the same. When i replace praveen with my IP address, a prompt appears, i gave username and password that i gave while configuring IIS 5.1. But permission denied error is comming :(

I tried to connect to a webservice that was running within visual studio environment. Once if that is configured with IIS, the problem is solved. Thanks :)
