Hello all,

I have created a simple Web Service which exposes 2 methods. It has been
deployed to our IIS server and runs fine when called from my computer or
from the server itself. When I call it from my client app on other
machines on our network I get an exception with the following:

The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden

Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to avoid this?

Thanks in advance,
Berkley

Did you use the IIS Lockdown wizard to configure IIS or did you change the
local security policy?

This has to do with the way the security is setup on the virtual
directory on the IIS virtual directory. The client machine is not
allowed to access this web address.

make sure in IIS that you've set access on the virtual directory where the
web service is to allow anonymous users (or at least access privileges
sufficient to allow more than just yourself and localhost to see the page).

That's usually the most common cause of forbidden errors.

I've done a bit more testing and found that clients running XP can
access the Web Service properly. Clients on win98 are the ones receiving
the error. Is there something special I need to configure on IIS to
allow the 98 clients to succeed?

Thanks again,
Berkley

we have web services on Win2K that get called from Win9x machines. We don't
do anything special to the web services.
Is the Win98 you are using in the same domain as Server hosting Web Services
?
Is there any sort of security enabled on the Web Services like requiring
SSL, authentication, special permissions for authorization etc. ?
