Hello, Let me give you a picture of what is going on. I have developed an agent which sits between our clients and MPWS. I have used VS 2008 and so far I was using webhost.exe (the internal web host) to run my service. Worthy to mention that I am using a development account to access MPWS, basically using staging server. Everything is fine until I deploy my web service to my local IIS. From there on anytime I try to call FindAddress method I get the following error: "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 207.46.164.241:80" It sounds like a timeout issue but I have checked IIS and also web.config and they all have longer than needed timeouts. I am ready to organise the purchase of a proper license for MPWS for production. But my question is, if we do get the license, is this problem going to be resolved or is there anything which I have to do to get it to work on my local IIS before attempting to purchase? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Hami Aryan
