    Looks like you have authentication turned on at the server and your client is not passing the right credentials.

    You are getting this error because your web service needs Authentication and you are not providing the same when you access the web service.

    The Two solutions for the above problem is

    1. Enable the anonymous access of the Virtual directory in the IIS (inetmgr.exe) for the folder
    2. Considering the name of the WebService object is service1, provide the following lines to provide the authentication to the accessing application.

    C#

    Service1.PreAuthenticate = true;

    Service1.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

    VB.Net

    webService.PreAuthenticate = True

    webService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

    This should reslove your problem.
