local client works - remote doesn't

[Yampolsky, Robert]

I have a client and server both working on my RHES3.0 box, and I've been
trying to work with another organization to get their .NET app to access
my service.  I got them to specify the soapAction the way Axis expects,
and they still can't connect.  They get the following soapfault:

SOAP-ENV:Client Requested service is not registerd at the server server
name:listen port AxisWsddException:Requested service not found 

Same thing happens whey I try to access my service via the generic soap
client at http://www.soapclient.com/soaptest.html

The SOAP requests (summarized below) generated by my client and theirs
look pretty similar (at least the parts used to locate the service).

Could there be a setting required to get the Axis server to work from
outside my network?

Is Axis sensitive to the way namespaces are used in a way that would
service the first request below, but reject the second?

Thanks,
Rob

My working local client generates a request that looks like this:

        POST /axis/HUB_TO_HUB
        HTTP/1.1
        Host: localhost:80
        Content-Type: text/xml;.
        charset=UTF-8
        SOAPAction: "HUB_TO_HUB#HUB_Request"
        Content-Length: 622

        <?xml.version='1.0'.encoding='utf-8' ?>
        <SOAP-ENV:Envelope

        </ns1:Hub_Request>
        </SOAP-ENV:Body>
        </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Their .NET client generates a request that looks like this:

        POST /axis/HUB_T0_HUB
        HTTP/1.1
        Content-Type: text/xml;
        charset=utf-8
        SOAPAction: "HUB_TO_HUB#HUB_Request"
        Content-Length: 394
        Expect: 100-continue
        Host: 156.43.4.68

        100 Continue
