I have a strange problem I have not been able to figure out...
Any WebRequest using the .NET framework (v1.1, as well as 1.0) from any .NET
application fails on my machine running Windows 2003 Enterprise.
The exception is always the same:
System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Unable to
connect to the remote server.
This occurs on a fresh install of Win2k3 Enterprise no matter what URL I try
to navigate to. The machine is plugged straight into the Internet and has no
firewall restrictions on it at all. I tried after a fresh install of Win2k3
and it would not work, then I tried making the security policies in Win2k3
more lax and it has not solved the problem.
Does anyone know what might cause this? This problem does not exist on any
of my other machines, including XP or Windows 2000.
Of course, Web browsing works fine on the machine and so does navigating to
sites using straight telnet on port 80 and methods outside the .NET
framework also work fine.
There are no .NET specific security measures in place preventing Web
requests. If there was, I would be getting security exceptions instead.. But
I'm not.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
