the request failed with HTTP status 401:Access denied.?!

[jasie24]

I made a simple web service,and after that a simple web application and when i have tried to run it(when i push a button "btnGetText",and it should show me in a label a text),it gives me this message:
"The request failed with HTTP status 401:Access denied"

For example,
"TestService" is the class that contains my webMethod:
the location is something like that:
http://localhost/TestService/Category.asmx

and in my web application example was something like that:


imports TestService.localhost
....

private sub btnGetText_click(byval sender as object,e as EventArgs)
dim myProxy as new localhost.Category
lblText.text=myProxy.WriteText("Apple")
end sub

where "WriteText" is the public method from my service
and "localhost" is that proxy class with the default name when i added a Web Reference with my service.
I have to set something in IIS or why can i run my web service on my local server?
Many Thanks

try this:
http://[your computer name]/TestService/Category.asmx, and you must have admimistrator permission.

localhost refer to IUSR_NET User in your system. if you want anonymous users access your ISS. you should:

right click your IIS's root (if you want all under that access permission ) or just your website ,select Properties.and select Directory Security page tab, in the Anonymous Access ...GroupBox click Edit button ,Check Anonymous Access and Windows Intergrated Authorization.

hope this hlps

I solve it.
The problem was that in IIS/Directory Security,
at user i had to put IUSR_SERVER,
SERVER is my server name,before it was just SERVER. i put it maybe,accidentally,while trying to solve the issue.But it was always checked Anounymous and Integrated Windows mode,
that's why i didn't pay too much attention to what it was written in the user box.But i still don't get it,if Anonymous was checked,so it should not matter what user and password is,why it has matter eventually,as i saw.because i modified the user ,as i said.strange....!
