The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

Question

I have a Windows service that downloads a webpage from a url. Locally on XP it runs fine, but when I run the service on the server (2008 server) I get the error in the title (403, Forbidden).

I've tried running the service as Administrator, and tried various permissions but nothing seems to work.

Has anyone else run into this?
