Webservice only works with IP address since CF SP3

[j.edwards]

Hi,

I have been developing an app that communicates through webservices and it's
worked perfectly up until installing CF SP3. Now I can only connect if I
specify an IP address.

Previously I had been using e.g.:

http://servername/AppFolder/WS.asmx

The "servername" was not "localhost" it was the actual server name.

Now I must specify e.g.:

http://192.168.111.1/AppFolder/WS.asmx etc

Does anyone know a way around this? I'm particuarly concerned because it
will eventually be deployed in a hosting environment that uses host headers,
so an IP address won't be sufficient.

Thanks.

Sorry if this is really basic but, can you view the URL in pocket IE? I
have experienced the behavior that I can call web services anywhere _except_
the computer the device is directly connected to via activesync; so I can
see google.com but not a http://somelocalserver/
I've had to work around the issue with routing.

The "server" actually is the pc I'm connected through activesync too.
Testing in IE was a good tip - I've played around with my network settings
until the webservice was accessible (even though it had previously worked
fine), and my app came good after that too.

SP3 must modify network settings in some way - does anyone know how and why?

Thanks for your help.
