A real squirly error

09-15-2008 5:04 PM |

I am getting an intermittent error where my silverlight app reports that it cannot find the webservice that it is supposed to be connecting to.  And then it will work fine again.  then, I will go to lunch, or do something else that takes a bit,  and when I get back it will not be working correctly and will be asking for permissions.  then, it will start working again.  Then, it won't ask for permissions, but will report back as a 404 error.

one other person who is looking at  it for me has never had the permissions error, but has had the not found. 

Any idea what might cause an intermittent error for permissions on the development box, but not elsewhere?  Why is it failing to find it sometimes, and not others, when I am not changing anything on the box? 

The webservice itself is running anonomous, so I presume the permissions are only indirectly related.  (Active directory)

thanks

Here is another clue.  I had the error where it asked for permissions and the error messages implied a crosssite issue.  It also presented me with a login box.

i opened another browser, went to the same page again, and this time it worked correctly all around.
