  • 0

I am getting the following error when I try to call an ASP.NET Web Service from an ASP.NET Web Application. I believe it is because the Web Service and Web Application are on the same Farm/behind the same Load Balancer.

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly
respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because
connected host has failed to respond [IP Address removed]:80

This error does not occur when I call the Web Service on the Farm from the Web App on my local machine, or when I call the Web Service on my local machine from the Web App on the Farm.

Any idea why this error is occurring?

    The solution to my problem was to turn on NATing on the load balancer.

    The request was being made from a server in the farm to the Load Balancer, then the Load Balancer would send that request to one of the servers in the farm (possibly even the same server that requested it). The problem was, the server that was handling the request would try to send the response directly back to the "requesting client" instead of back to the Load Balancer, so the server that made the request would just ignore the response because it was not being sent by the Load Balancer. By turning NATing on, all responses are sent back to the Load Balancer, and then the Load Balancer sends the response on to the original client.
