I am trying to reference my .asmx webservices in .NET but my server is not exposed to the internet. When I put on the following address I get the message mentioned below. What's the reason for not being able to see the directory? Am I missing something in my IIS configuraction? Am I missing anything in my permissions? Just as reference I have other folders with webservices and I have the same issue. When I login to the server I am doing it with my windows user and password (I am using windows authentication). It's necessary to mention that when I put the URL I am getting a popup screen to put in my userid and password but it seems that's not able to validate since keeps asking me a couple of times. Let me know if you need more information to address this issue .

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

What you can try: It appears you are connected to the Internet, but you might want to try to reconnect to the Internet.

Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page.

Most likely causes: •You are not connected to the Internet. •The website is encountering problems. •There might be a typing error in the address.

More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

•Internet connectivity has been lost. •The website is temporarily unavailable. •The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable. •The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain. •If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

Internet Explorer has an annoying "feature" to replace short web server messages (shorter than defined in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\ErrorThresholds -- see support.microsoft.com/kb/218155) with its own message. You can disable that (something called "Show friendly HTTP error messages") or: use another browser for your testing. You might then see what the actual error is that the web server gives. – Arjan Oct 22 '09 at 21:01
(And then you can delete that long error from your question...) – Arjan Oct 22 '09 at 21:03

I don't know what I did but I was able to see it this time. This is how the path to my server shows now. http://appsvr02/DevWeApi/Owner.asmx

Aha. That might be related to "HTML form POST to default document (w/o specifying Default.aspx) fails with “405 Method not Allowed”" at stackoverflow.com/questions/1574114/… – Arjan Oct 23 '09 at 14:06
