Visual Studio Adding a Web Reference over VPN: "Unable to connect to the remote server&

I have a VPN setup with a remote server and I can browse to it and see a web service successfully, but when I try to add a web reference inside of visual studio i get the following error:

"Unable to connect to the remote server

A socket operation encountered a dead network"

so the network connection is over a VPN, connection is perfect, yet visual studio does not connect over the vpn....

what gives?

Hi,

I would check,

a) The network settings, connection strings etc.

b) Try an IMPLEMENTS command or an IMPORTS command,

something to do with networking.

If your VPN is using VmWare have you tried contacting support for VmWare?

If your VPN is also using a router you may need to check the router settings.

I dont know what the problem was but it eventually went away after rebooting a couple of times.
