You'll have to pardon me as I wasn't sure where to place this. This overlaps in the areas of C# Web Services and Network/Security management I suppose.
I have a server that runs various web applications. One of them is a web service. The account everything runs under is a local account on the machine. It is not a domain account. I don't know why this was done how it was, but it's one of those things that's just the way is because it's the way it was done.
Super, huh?
Okay so my domain account name is given full permissions on the web serivce. Now, while the account the web service runs under is not a domain account, the machine is on our domain and in our network. So, from my computer, I can fire up a browser and type in the url to the web service in this fashion:
http://serverhere:porthere/servicename
Now the fun part. From a different machine on the same network and logged in my domain account, I cannot load the web service.
Here is the really, really nutty part. From both machines A and B, I cannot ping the server hosting the web service. Might be because pinging is turned off.
So the million dollar question is, does any one have any idea's at all as to why computer B cannot access the web service while computer A (my machine) can?
The server hosting the web service is running windows 2000. My machine is running windows xp. The machine that cannot load the web service is running Windows 2003 SP 2.
