Cristian, Joel et al, I made some progress in that I have tried a few things:
- I switched on to the wireless network that bypasses the firewall and now I don't get the "Unable to connect to the remote server" error. Instead I get a new one that says: "The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly."; - If I point my IE browser to the "http://dap3.dot.ca.gov:18080/"; URL I get some kind of SOAP response that indicates a SOAP-ENV:Client fault with the error string being "HTTP GET method not implemented" (BTW, could this be a valid access point for a web service?); This raises two issues: 1. The IE browser may not be the best tool to look at the web service; 2. My VS2005 connection is closed because I do not provide the user name/password I was given. I tried to write something like this: CredentialCache myCache = new CredentialCache(); myCache.Add(new Uri("http://dap3.dot.ca.gov/";), "Basic", new NetworkCredential("myusername", "mypassword")); objMyWebService.Credentials = myCache; That didn't make any difference. Can you guys comment on my approach? Do you suspect that this is the problem? Obviously, there are some security features implemented in this web service and I don't think I get them right in my code. Your help will be highly appreciated.

You can check it on your app.config or directly in code, accessing its Url property. You can change it using any of the two methods.
