Hi,

I have this webservice (someservice.asmx) that I am able to access from my browser(Internet Explorer 7). I have deployed my webservice on a different machine accessible via the intranet. The WSDL is displayed on the browser window when I type the [servername]/someservice.asmx on Internet Explorer(7). The problem surfaces when I try to add the same service using the 'Research options' method on Internet Explorer. When I enter the webservice url in the 'Add Services' section, I get an error saying... "No services were added because the service provider did not provide any valid information".

Copying and pasting the same URL in the Internet Explorer address bar retrieves the WSDL for me. Does the 'Research Options' in internet explorer need a different variety of web-service? Another interesting aspect is that the webservice is recognized by 'Research' on a previous version of IE(6). Can somebody illuminate what exactly is going on here?

Thanks
