ASP.NET - Remote name could not be resolved

[=?Utf-8?B?U2hpdmEgUmFtYW5p?=]

Iam trying to read a RSS feed (through XmlTextReader) from my application.
The url (ex: "http://www.wipro.com/RSSFeed.xml") is accessible through the
browser but when the same when tried from the asp.net application I get
"The remote name could not be resolved: 'www.wipro.com' "
This happens the same for all the other URLs also.

My browser LAN Settings has "Automatica lly detect settings" being set. My
authentication on the app is set to Windows Authentication.
Do I need to change/specify anything when trying to access outside url's in
IIS

It sounds like your LAN has a proxy. The brower is automatically detecting
it. But, .NET isn't as smart - you'll need to set the Globalproxy settings
to the correct settings first.
