problem with accessing asp.net web service from remote pc

Question

Hi,
I am a newbie in designing asp.net web services. In my web service, I have created a webmethod which is extracting some data from my SQL server and then show it following some queries. Now everything is running fine from my local pc.

But when I try to access my web service from a remote pc with my pc’s fixed IP (http://163.180.145.139/test1/Service.asmx) they show all the webmethods list but after clicking on any of the operations it shows:  The test form is only available for requests from the local machine. I think I will get the same problem if I try to access the webservice after consuming it from a asp.net client application. You can check it too by following the above link.

1. Plz tell me how can I solve this problem so that everyone can access my webservice and sql server data through it stored in my localhost from remote pc.

2. Plz tell me why I can't access any data through the webservice by typing a line in the address bar like this: http://163.180.145.139/test1/Service.asmx/ShowSuppliers?str=1990. In some tutorials its said that it will work. But I am getting error: Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/ShowSuppliers'

For your information I'm using windows Xp, IIS 5, sql server 2005 enterprise edition, MVS 2005: C#  for my work. Please let me know for any further info.

Thanks in advance

There's a standard algorithm for doing this in C programming - see http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/archives/3133

The C# translation would be:

using System;

class Program

{

    static void Main()

    {

       int[] arr = {3, 2, 7, 10};

       Console.WriteLine("Maximum sum of array 1 is {0}", FindMaxSum(arr));

       int[] arr2 = {3, 2, 5, 10, 7};

       Console.WriteLine("Maximum sum of array 2 is {0}", FindMaxSum(arr2));

       Console.ReadKey();

    }

    static int FindMaxSum(int[] arr)

    {

      int n = arr.Length;

      int incl = arr[0];

      int excl = 0;

      int excl_new;

 

      for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)

      {

         /* current max excluding i */

         excl_new = Math.Max(incl, excl);

 

         /* current max including i */

         incl = excl + arr[i];

         excl = excl_new;

      }

 

      /* return max of incl and excl */

      return Math.Max(incl, excl);

    }

}
