Unable to connect to a web service

I am able to access the web service from the web browser but on the same computer if I try to connect to the web service through code I get a The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required. error.

I have supplied all the credentials required. Here is my code - 

MyWebService objWS = new MyWebService();  // my Web service object

// My credentials
System.Net.NetworkCredential cr = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(MyDomainUserName, UserPassword, DomainController);   

System.Net.WebProxy pr = new System.Net.WebProxy(ProxyServer, ProxyPort);

pr.Credentials = cr;   //Using my credentials for the local proxy

// Web Service credentials
System.Net.NetworkCredential cr1 = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("My_WebService_UserName", "My_WebService_Pwd");  

objWS.Credentials = cr1;   // Using WebService credentials to the WS object

//objWS.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;  // I even tried Using default credentials but this didn't help.

objWS.Proxy = pr;   

Object result = objWS.WebMethod1(param1,param2,param3);

But, this throws an error - The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.

Any idea, what am I doing wrong here? Thanks.

You need to update your config file like this to fix this problem.

<system.net>
    <defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true"> </defaultProxy>
</system.net>

It isn't clear in this blog post, but this isn't either/or. Both things are required to fix your problem.

This means that your proxy needs some credentials(user name and pasword.) Figure out what they are and set them on pry.

You get this error because you are trying to access the service from behind a proxy. Try to use this code (you probably only need the last line):

//Set the system proxy with valid server address or IP and port, for example.
System.Net.WebProxy pry = new System.Net.WebProxy("172.16.0.1",8080);
//The DefaultCredentials should be enough.
pry.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
GlobalProxySelection.Select = pry;
