Hi Phil, I hate to waste your time with something that most likely is "beginner" stuff, but how do I "Publish my webservice to my local machine IIS to make it available through IE on standard port 80 url"?
I did some progress since I sent my initial question. Went in Computer Management, under IIS -> Web Sites -> Default Web Site -> Properties - ASP.NET and selected the version to be 2.0.50727. This was enough the allow me to launch my web service by providing the IP address instead of the "localhost" from both my machine and a different machine. The only problem is that I am asked to introduce my credentials (my domain account). I remember from 4 years ago that the ASP.NET account was supposed to be added somewhere and searching for that place, I found the Directory Security under the properties for my Web Service. I clicked to Edit the Anonymous Access and authentication control and I said I want Anonymous access, allowing IIS to control the password. Now I can access the web service from any machine, using the IP address and w/o being asked to provide credentials. Have I just answered my own question?

Now I need to write a new web service and I see things have changed somehow. After trying several methods, I went back to the basics and tried the "Hello World" method. I can run it in debug, from VS2005, but I can see that the URL uses "localhost" and a port number. If I try replacing the "localhost" with my machine name or IP address it doesn't work. In the old days I would get all the files needed and deploy them by creating a specific folder and web sharing it. That doesn't work anymore. And I remember being able to run Web Services w/o having to indicate what port number should be used. I think I need a guide on how to set all the permissions needed by the IIS to allow anyone connect to my web service. Is there a resource somewhere on the net to give me a head start on this task? I did a quick search on MSDN hoping to find a step-by-step guide that would discuss all the aspects of deploying a web service. My Web Service needs to access data in a database, log events and send MQ messages. If I have so many problems deploying the simplest one, I can only imagine the trouble I'll through to have the entire functionality implemented. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
