No, I'm not behind a firewall. I am using MS proxy server, but as I was trying to call a webservice on the local network, that would probably not be the problem.

After some tinkering, I was able to call the webservice Babel Fish Web Service, and I got a response correctly. So, it is probably that I have something wrong locally.

>Are you behind a firewall? If so, that could be the problem. A couple of months ago there was a thread in here indicating some of the properties that you need to set to call web services when you are behind a firewall. I believe the properties were proxy and proxyport but I am not completely sure.
