Another newbie to .NET....

I'm currently running through the walkthroughs (ha ha).
I'm doing this all on a stand alone laptop running windows
2000 with .NET 2002 academic version and SQL Server 2000
desktop. THERE IS NO LAN CONNECTION.

I've created a simple web service (vb) that connects to
the pubs db in sql server with a DataAdapter object and
has two web methods (get, update) that expose the result
set.

I get the following error when I try and create a web
reference to this web service object from a windows client
(vb client). I browse the local server, the web service is
listed (suggesting web discovery is working) and when I
select it I get the error. I've checked it out and it's
something to do with a LAN proxy setting but I'm not
connected to a LAN at all!!!?

Here's the error...

"The proxy settings on this computer are not configured
correctly for web discovery. Click the Help button for
more information."
