  hi,

  I also faced the same prob.u r using VS 2005 If yes, then when u create the webservice, u have option of providing HTTP while selecting new site or service, provide url as "http://localhost/projectname. By default it would be File System.

  Other thing, while selecting the web service provide the ip address and not the loclhost.I hope thiss will help u.

  That is exactly right, but in fact it only works from this particular PC. Please see link below on why is that and how to fix it.

  because "localhost" means your pc! Change the properties of the WebReference to

  http://{your ip address}/ws

  Hi,
  Let's try from the begining.
  you connect you pda to the PC using the USB port and activesync, right
  if so, then do the following..

  from the PDA after connecting it, open the PPC ie and type in the address bar:
  http://yourPCName/WSFoldername/WSName.aspx

  if every thing is correct and your pda is really connected to your pc correctly, it should open the WS page, if not, then u have a problem in the connection like a blocking firewall on the PC, or not configuring the pda settings correctly.

  But if the page is displayed correctly, then the error is in the code, try to make the refrence to the WS in the app by the PC name not localhost or ip, because of the way u connect the pda, it takes the same ip, and this could make some conflicts..

  Do this and reply me with the result please..
