Must Restart IIS for web services to work

[Guest]

I have developed some web services that I use to communicate to a SQL Server
database from a Windows Mobile device. The web services work fine but since
moving to the .Net Framework 2.0, the customer must restart IIS everyday in
order for the mobile devices to communicate with the web services. What is
causing the web services to be inaccessible? They work all day and then the
next day they don't work until IIS is restarted.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you confirmed from a web browser on a desktop PC that the web service is
not available or only from the mobile device?

When the mobile device is unable to connect, I have logged directly into the
web server and attempted to run the web service through the browswer and
found that it does not respond to the browser either. Once IIS is restarted,
the browser and the mobile devices can both communicate with the web service.

have you tried reinstalling IIS and re-registering asp.net with IIS?

No, I've not tried anything yet. I've just been having them restart IIS each
morning. The customer mentioned a setting in IIS that recycles worker
processes (Application Pools > Default APPPool > Properties). The settings
was set to 4:00 AM and he changed it to recycle every 120 minutes. I'm not
sure what this setting does or whether it will have any effect on their
problem. I've not heard back from the customer regarding the change.
