Ok folks .. heres the deal -->
I have consumed a web-service in my console app and am able to successfully invoke the same when running from my local machine.
Trouble brews when I deploy the app on my Win 2K8 box. I first came up on -> The remote name could not be resolved: 'www.www.net' -> and so I added a WebProxy and hooked it up to the .Proxy property of the web-service.
The next error I have run into is -> The request failed with HTTP status 407: authenticationrequired. And I am at a loss of ideas to resolve the same.
I have used --> .Proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; and have also explicitly defined proxy creds -> username, password, domain --> but to no avail
The web-service works fine when accessed over a browser from within the server.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Rgds,
Ok .. heres what got it working finally -->
Got in touch with the NOC (network) guys - and they in turn turned on an explicit IP-based access to requests/response to/from the server.
Will that result in a security breach - well I am not sure.
