Check for firewalls or AV software on the machine blocking ports.

Also you can play around with the HttpConnectType property - the default is well using the default machine settings. You can also try direct connection (which bypasses all proxies) or a proxy configuration if that's what's running on the machine

\>Hi all, I have a very strange one here. Having used ww controls in the past, and typically no problems, we have an app that is trying to simple posting to a web service location. Specifics are simple...

So, now, no extra overhead of a bunch of "other" stuff, and then try this short utility. I get the exact same results on my machine and the third machine. The second machine more frequently goes through, other times a proper timeout.
