I get the following error when I try to add a web reference using Web
Reference Dialog (VS .Net 2003)

Error "The proxy settings on this computer are not configured correctly for
web discovery."

MSDN says:

"The proxy settings on this computer are not configured correctly for Web
discovery.
This error appears in the Add Web Reference dialog box if you are developing
on a machine that is behind a firewall and a proxy server has not been
explicitly specified for Internet Explorer connections. You need to
explicitly specify the address and port of the proxy server on your network
in order to make services outside the firewall available to the Web Browser
in the Add Web Reference dialog box. The Auto-detect proxy option for
Internet Explorer connections is ignored by .NET Framework. You may need to
ask your network administrator for this proxy information."

I have a dial-up connection and don't have a proxy server or firewall. Let
me know what I should do to get this fixed.

If you are running Win XP and have applied SP2, you do have a firewall by
default.
