Cannot connect to a web service or remotely

[JerryK]

Hi,

I have a system with XP Pro, SP2 installed. I created a trival web service
by going into Visual Studio and generating a VB web service. I removed the
lines that comment out the hello world. In IE I enter
http://localhost/mywebservice. I expected to see the information about the
web service with a list for HelloWorld. Instead I get the message "You are
not authorized to view this page".

Another thing is that if I enter http://localhost I get IIS's default page,
localstart.asp. However, if I try to access http://myIPAddress from another
system I also get the "You are not authorize to view this page message".

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

jerry

I found it. XP SP2 turned on the firewall!!! I turned the firewall off and
things started working.
