Hey Eddie, Please check the WSDL you added the reference from. When you look at the WSDL, at the bottom there is a <port> element and within that a <soap:address> element that lists the Access Point location. Is that by any chance set to LOCALHOST or an unreachable address?
For example, in the WSDL for the XWebEmailValidation Web Service (http://ws.xwebservices.com/XWebEmailValidation/V2/XWebEmailValidation.wsdl) the Access Point in the <soap:address> is a URI that you should be able to hit with anything: http://ws.xwebservices.com/XWebEmailValidation/V2/EmailValidation.asmx. If you get the error when adding a reference off the WSDL above, let me know. It's probably something else, like a firewall that is blocking POSTs to the Access Point location.

Using its WSDL file I created a Web Reference in my VS.NET 2005 project. The problem is that every time I try to invoke any of its web methods I get the same exception: "Unable to connect to the remote server!". Hitting the same ws with XML Spy returns the expected SOAP responses so I am thinking that I have something wrong in my IDE. Can anyone make a suggestion where to look and what else to try? Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
