Hi!
I have a windows service, which connects over http to a remote website. I am running the service as Network Service. However, i get the exception (which i write out to the event log), that the remote name cannot be resolved.
Any ideas what could be going wrong
Thanks,
Mustansir
Windows Service cannot connect to the network.

It seems like your DNS cannot resolve the name. To which Machine you are try to connection. Where is the code which Resolves the Uri
Have you tried your code in Windows or Console Application. (Should Not Matter, Just for the Test).

Try Local System, Etc.. Why you need it to be a Network Service Is there a specific Reason

Like I've mentioned, I've got it to work using my user account, so its not that I'm yet stuck getting it to work.
The question is - why doesnt it work with Network Service Network Service supposed to have permissions to access the network ...

Hi!
The machine is a public website on the Internet. The address is fine - if I change the Windows Service to Logon as User (and use my credentials) instead of using Network Service, it works fine.
