server is unable to process the request 2 hours, 58 minutes ago Hi.. I have developed and deployed a webservice on a public IP. Means to say published on internet. When i try to submit request to this webservice from internet at client side. then it thorws the below exception. how can i make it correct? what is the problem with it? It was completely working on intranet. but not working on internet now after publishing on Internet. I want to ask one thing more. I think tis the matter of disabling ports. which ports should be enable for it? Exception: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> PGS.Utils.PGSException: Error Code : 3 . Error Description: PGS web service unable to proceed your request, Please contact you Administrator.

I think it will be better post your issue in this forum named "ASMX Web Services and XML Serialization" or this one named "The Official Microsoft IIS Site".

For proprietary applications, obviously you should know what ports you're using if your application requires them. Typically in this scenario, I would have to pass the buck but I do know some IIS. Your issue... does seem application related... however this seems more like an Authentication issue... hence line 3, "Login failed!' which... if login fails... no application. So try investigating these venues of troubleshooting authentication. It tends to put a damper on applications that will use the SoapExtensions for the ASP.net stuff... Configuring Authentication in IIS 7 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733010(WS.10).aspx Configuring IIS 6 Authentication http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc784103(WS.10).aspx IIS 4-5 Authentication Methods Reference http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727081.aspx I hope that helps and completely agree with Mr. X. The best resolution to your IIS questions and application development questions may come from the ASP.Net, IIS.Net, or MSDN forums.
