connect to webservice

[jojp]

did you use something like 127.0.0.1 oder localhost on the server pc where it worked or did you use the public ip address to test?

[jojp]

Check to browser settings for proxys.

Maybe on both computers only the own ip adress is excluded, so the second test computer browser will try to access via a proxy.

Have you checked that you specified the Port number (usually 8080 if not explicitely changed) to the URL?

On the server PC both the localhost and the internal IP work well, when I put the external ip on my server PC, I get a "Could not  connect error"

[Moobe]

Olivier:

Yes the port is set to 8080, and I've used in the URL (ip:8080/servicename/viMapping)

Watchout for nasty proxy settings

[Moobe]

I checked for proxy settings, and no proxy is used for the browsers on both PCs.

I am running out of options

[jojp]

Double check -> options -> web server -> browser access -> browser acces list = * && "allow viewing and controling" is set

[Moobe]

I double checked, all is in order.

Do I have to configure my router for it to work?

[Olivier_L]

You said that you entered external IP adress on serverPC, is this normal?

I think your server PC get your webserver.

Then your client PC ask your webserver with the URL, and your webservice answers with datas. Am I wrong?
