Thanks Jukka but I don't really understand. For the sake of simplicity lets
say I want to be able to look at my shapefiles in Google earth.
In google earth I can add some publicly available WMS as a new layer -
everything works fine.
I have a geoserver set up with my shapefiles and they display fine in
OpenLayers via the Layer preview options. I now want to set up my WMS such
that I can display the same shapefile in google earth. I naively thought that
that was how they were served up to OpenLayers but just using the same address
returns a message that the server isn't responding. Where do I start? Any
(simple) examples I can read / follow?
Med vennlig hilsen / Kind regards

Subject: Re: WMS address
Hi,
The address to give for WMS clients like QGis, Kosmo GIS, OpenJUMP, gvSIG,
MapInfo, ArcGIS etc. is
http://server:port/geoserver/wms?
Clients are adding the rest. If you want to read the capabilities with a
browser you must add some parameters yourself.
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=getCapabilities
Your browser does not necessarily show the response because of an odd MIME type
used in WMS 1.1.1. That's normal and you can just save the result on disk and
open with a text editor. Try then the same with your own server.

As I said i am a novice fumbling towards my modest goal of publishing some
shapefiles on a WMS.
My layers are in place and I can see them using OpenLayers via Layer preview
but I am struggling to find the service from my other software (which supports
WMS) and I am not sure what address to use. The address in OpenLayers is...
myPcServername:portNo/geoserver/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=J02-New&styles=&bbox=-244588.376,6176682.56,1198377.782,7691252.968&width=487&height=512&srs=EPSG:23031&format=application/openlayers
The application I am using trims this address and looks for the service at...
http:// myPcServername:portNo
/geoserver/wms?f=json<http://vng-geosvr-01:8080/geoserver/wms?f=json>
but claims that there was no response.
I couldn't find a lot of information about this anywhere - any idea what I am
doing wrong?
I gave my Workspace a namespace URI of http:// myPcServername:portNo
/MarksTest, is that how it is supposed to be used?
Should that then be part of the WMS address?
Does the fact that OpenLayers can preview my file mean that the WMS is up and
running correctly?
