Hello,

I'm a novice to .net environment. I'm trying to make use
of a webservice in my asp.net client application. I
successfully added reference to web service to my client,
but while trying to invoke various methods, getting the
following error.

========================================================
The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to
the remote server.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the
execution of the current web request. Please review the
stack trace for more information about the error and where
it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Net.WebException: The underlying
connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote
server.
========================================================

Any idea to resolve this error.

Thanks in advance.
