test form is only available for requests from the local machine?

Using web services i'm receiving a message saying 'The test form is only available for requests from the local machine.'

my Service.aspx file is simply:

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

[WebService(Namespace = "http://bristolmessenger.co.uk")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class Service : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
public Service () {

//Uncomment the following line if using designed components
//InitializeComponent();
}

[WebMethod]
public string HelloWorld() {
return "Hello World";
}

}

I was experimenting other day and was working fine. I have not changed anything so mignt be a setting beyond my control as im using shared hosting Any ideas

If I use the about I get the message

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section system.web/protocols.

Source Error:
Line 3: <system.web> Line 4: Line 5: <protocols> Line 6: <add name="HttpSoap12"/> Line 7: <add name="HttpSoap"/>
Why

Also I have copied the project via .net from the local machine to our webserver, but the service will not run as it is still pointing to the local machine.

How do I resolve the problem

I added the <protocols> section (with all protocols supported) to both the local web.config and the machine.config.
I am still getting the message above (local machine)

I am running win2003 server and the webservice runs fine from a win-client,
but my developers want to see it using the test harness.

Anything else I can look for

web.config needed:

<webServices>

<protocols>

<add name="HttpSoap12" />

<add name="HttpSoap" />

<add name="HttpGet" />

<add name="HttpPost" />

</protocols>

I only added

<webServices>
<protocols>
<add name="HttpGet"/>
<add name="HttpPost"/>
</protocols>
</webServices>

to web.config, not to machine.config (both located in the vroot of the production site) and it has fixed my problem
