    I created a simple web service with Visual Web Developer 2008 Express.

    In Visual Basic 2005 Express I Add Web Reference.

    When I enter my url, I get this message

     The proxy settings on this computer are not configured correctly for web discovery. Press F1 for more information.

    (F1 does not give me any information about the error).

    What do I need to do to my web site to make this work?

    Thanks

    Jon

    This is more than likely occuring because you are consuming the service behind a firewall and IE does not have the proxy set up.  Take a look at the following MSDN link suggestions for fixing your issue:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/03seed2h.aspx

     If you are not using a proxy to make internet connection make sure nothing is checked on the 'LAN Settings' button under the 'Connections' tab in IE's settings.

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you,   >[Blog]<

     Thank you. Firewall is not an issue. I have no problem with web discovery of web services from other web sites, just my own little test web service on my godaddy account.

    So I figure there must be something additional I need to do on my web site or in my service to make web discovery possible.
