Accessing webservice from remote machine

I've developed a simple web service and hosted it on one of my machines in a LAN environment, but when i try to access the web service from another machine within LAN i got a prompt asking for username and password, web service is configured to be accessed anonymously. It is working fine on the machine where it's hosted. What's wrong with the settings, am i missing something?

This is a web service written in ASP.NET and hosted on IIS in machine say 192.168.1.1 and i wanted to access it on 192.168.1.2, the address of the web service is 192.168.1.1/myService/service.asmx but it keep displaying me username/password prompt.

I encountered the same problem. We were using "Windows Authentication" and could not use "Anonymous Authentication" for this project.

We were deploying an msi to test on VM's. I added the pre-compiled version of the 'asmx.cs' to the /bin directory of the installation. I only added the 'asmx' file to the root directory and this worked for me.

Hope that helps.

Make sure that you have the Anonymous Authentication feature enabled in IIS: Enable Anonymous Authentication
