    can't find webservice using IP

    Hi, i create an asp.net webservice, then reference this webservice in another
    project in the same machine, it works well when using "localhost" to locate
    the webservice but fails when using the ip address of my machine (neither
    does using the hostname), it says "downloadin g webservice error because of
    the destination machine rejecting..."
    It seems not a development problem but one of the windows configuration, i
    just hope get some help here.
    the running env is vista+vs2008, and there are two net devices available,
    and i am also confused about which ip i should use when access the webservice
    from the net.
    thanks in advanced

      Are you hosting the webservice in IIS, or in the internal server in
      Visual Studio? It it is the latter, then you are out of luck: the internal
      server only responds to localhost; you will need to move the webservice into
      IIS if you wish to access it through your computer's external IP address.

                  Yes, the option to create the project on the File System is only for
                  development. Visual Studio will run it on its internal server, but this is
                  not accessible from outside the computer. You will need to publish the
                  application on the local Internet Information Server, assuming that you have
                  it on your version of Windows.
