Using Web Services from a mobile Device

Hi,

I am having problems using web services from a windows mobile device.

I am currently using VS2008, Standard windows mobile 6.0 SDK, and I have created this on a VM (windows XP) using virtual PC 2007.

So far I have created a web service containing a web method for simple hello world (first code example) and a mobile form calling this method (2nd code example). When I run the application it seems I cannot connect to the service with stack trace:

at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.finishGetResponse()
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request)
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.HttpWebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request)
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.doInvoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters, WebClientAsyncResult asyncResult)
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)
at SmartDeviceProject1.Test.Service1.HelloWorld()
at SmartDeviceProject1.Form1.menuItem1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.OnClick(EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.Menu.ProcessMnuProc(Control ctlThis, WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)
at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WnProc(WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc(WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)
at Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop(IntPtr hwnMain)
at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form fm)
at SmartDeviceProject1.Program.Main()

As I am completely new to this area of development there is probably something straight forward left out.

Let me know if you need any further detail.

Thanks,
