Remote name could not be resolved..?

[Nuno]

I've setup MLS on win2k3 and installed all the service packs, installed
SQL2k, generated a certificate and enabled ssl on iis. Location server
database installed no problem.

Location Web Service tells me i'm installing in an unsupported OS... ? Not
sure why by i click yes to install it anyway. After everything is installed i
tested GetUserInfo method and it worked perfectly fine.

When I tryed to run the GetMap sample appication i get "Remote name could
not be resolved" error message. I changed the user-name,password,domain in
code and added the web service reference and everything seems correct.

Any idea as to why I'm receiving this error?

Ignore the "unsupported OS" warning. That is a known issue. You can just proceed through it like you did. Regarding your other issue: Were you able to confirm your
installation works via the steps in the "Verifying an Installation" section of the MLS Admin Guide? You should do this before you attempt to create apps that hit your MLS.

MLS Admin Guide:

Also, the following MSDN article is a good resource when installing MLS.

Yes, everything is setup ok. I can invoke GetUserInfo with no problems but
the GetMap sample is what I'm have trouble with. I installed the root
certificate using the addrootcert.exe program. But i get a error message
saying "The remote name could not be resolved".

Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?

I got it. I had to manually set the URL to the web service on my web server
for each service. Example:

LocationService.Url = "https://myserver/mmlsservice/locationservice.asmx";
RenderService.Url = "https://myserver/mmlsservice/renderservice.asmx";

Thanks for the help.
