my application, eveytime I attempt to do so I get the following message:

Hi Airwalker,

Are you trying to add a reference to a Web Service that is on the internet?
Are you sitting behind a proxy server?

Regards
Simon.

See this page <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/03seed2h.aspx>

AFAIK, It applies to VS 2003 as well.

Thanks for the advice guys.

I've goon to IE > tools > connections > LAN settings

I then checked the "use a proxy server for your lan"

am I right in typing "http://locahost" for the address?

and what do I typr in for port?

thanks.

>> am I right in typing "http://locahost" for the address?

I think not. You should type in the IP address instead. Try port 80.

You need to type in the IP address of your Proxy server. Firewalls
generally(default configuration) allow the default port 80 for web servers
so it is unlikely to be a firewall issue.
Check with your sys admin for the proxy server address.

Regards
Simon.

Done that, but now I get this message:

"There was an error downloading
'http://live.capescience.com/wsdl/AirportWeather.wsdl'.

The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server".

do you think there is a problem with the web service server? what about If I
add visual studio to the exceptions list under windows firewall?

The WSDL document does not exist. You get http 404 if you type that address
into your web browser. Try it.

If you want to play arond with on-line web services try this site for some
valid ones:

Simon is right about this. That particular example in the book about
AirportWeatherService is outdated. You will need to try another Web
service.

Thanks again for your replies guys, the web service shows up, but I am
unable to add a web reference to it, as the add reference button is disabled
and I get the following message:

"There was an error downloading 'http://www.xmethods.net/'.
The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server".

in proxy settings I typed in my IP address and typed 80 for the port, am I
still doing something wrong?
