We are facing one issue with accessing the remote web service.

We are using visual studio 2005.

We are trying to invoke one web service located in German.

From VS 2005 Window based application we could able to add that web service as a reference and we could able to invoke their web methods.

But from VS 2005 Web based application we could add the web reference, but we could not invoke their methods.

We got the following exception when ever we are trying to invoke their method.

“The remote name could not be resolved “  

If anyone of you came across this issue, then let me know the solution.

It would be great if you provide the necessary solution to precede our further development.

Kumar,

When I see the word, "resolved" in an exception like this, I start thinking DNS or "timely" DNS resolution.

There are a number of places web applications can time out so to speak.

One thing you can try that will not break your code and will help nail this down, is to set the reference using the IP address instead of the DNS name. 

Doing this will let you know "if' this is the problem.  If it is, post it here and I'll give you several suggestions that you can use that don't involve hard coding an IP address.

Please check this also.  Can you open a browser, browse to the web service and execute the methods?
