Connecting a webservice - using IP instead of the machine name

Question

Hello all,

I've written a web service and hosted it in my local system using IIS. So when i connect to the webservice using http://localhost/server/service.asmx as the URL i'm getting the desired results (aka everything works like charm). But when i use http://192.168.14.56/server/service.asmx i'm not able to get any of the results.

But when i try to open the service in the browser both of the URLs are working fine. I'm using a third party component which is hosted as a web service. So i'm not able to debug it.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Maybe you need to supply the port number in where the url for the webservice is located when using the third party component, it could be something like this: http://192.168.14.56:12345/server/service.asmx as an example, or that there is something blocking the third party component from accessing the web...

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

Okie, it was a total mess up with my system. I detached it and reattached it in the domain (as i'm no good in troubleshooting them) and everything worked fine. Thanks for your replies guys.
