Problem consuming a Web Service from a vb.net app

[Guest]

Hi;

I can consume a web service from an asp.net application with no problem.

The web service connects to a remote server through ODBC and returns a data
set to the consuming software.

When I try to consume the WS from a windows app is gives a 407 error.

I didn't think that the consuming application had to worry about connecting
to a data source directly ? Isn't this what the 407 message is saying ?

Thanks

You have the authentication credentials when using the ASP.Net application,
and you don't have those credentials using the Windows application.

It may be an ISA Server setting there acting as a proxy in front of the Web
server.
