Webclient failing

[Guest]

I need to scrap a web page from another site but when I try to access any site outside of my localhost, I get this error:
"System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server"
I can acess the site with a browser, but when I try to request it via Webclient in an aspx file I get the error. I guess it as something to do with the way the code request the web page.

Anyone as seen anything like this before ?

If you can access it then its probably that you are not passing the correct
security credentials to make the requesting page appear as you
..............look up asp.net impersonation and see if that helps you.
