Windows Azure - NetworkInformationException (0x80004005): Access is denied - HttpWebRequest

GetResponse works fine on my local machine but when deployed to Windows Azure I receive the following exception. My ASP.NET website runs an exe I created as a new process and it is the code in the exe that encounters the exception listed below. Can anyone suggest possible permission settings I can look at to solve this problem? 

HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(requestUrl) as HttpWebRequest;
request.UserAgent = _userAgent;
request.Timeout = 50000;
HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;

System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInformationException (0x80004005): Access is denied at System.Net.NetworkInformation.SystemIPGlobalProperties.GetFixedInfo() at System.Net.NetworkInformation.SystemIPGlobalProperties.get_FixedInfo() at System.Net.NetworkInformation.SystemIPGlobalProperties.get_HostName() at System.Net.NclUtilities.GuessWhetherHostIsLoopback(String host) at System.Net.ServicePoint.get_ConnectionLimit() at System.Net.ConnectionGroup..ctor(ServicePoint servicePoint, String connName) at System.Net.ServicePoint.SubmitRequest(HttpWebRequest request, String connName) at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.SubmitRequest(ServicePoint servicePoint) at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()

Try to launch the process from asp.net with specific credential.. i.e. using local user credential. It might be possible that azure is blocking unauthenticated process to access internet.

Need more information, but my first thought is that you are:

  • Trying to bind a socket to a privileged port (port <= 1024)
  • Trying to bind a socket to an IP you don't have on that machine
  • The user your local website runs that code has higher permissions of some kind than the user Windows Azure (eg the IIS AppPool?) runs it as
