Hello

In my rails application I am trying to call a web service wich is on  
other machine and other network.  
Here is the code:  
begin  
factory\_chgst = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(“[http://148.110.139.26/](http://148.110.139.26/)  
mywebservice/services/Message?wsdl”)  
…  
rescue  
puts e.message  
end

An error occurs on the SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new line. The error  
message is: “no element found”.  
When a type the URL on IE, I can see the wsdl, so the URL is correct  
(we have a VPN configured to the communication between the 2  
machines).

When, with the same code I try to call the same web service but on a  
machine of the same network, there is no problem:

begin  
factory\_chgst = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(“[http://mymachine:8080/](http://mymachine:8080/)  
mywebservice/services/Message?wsdl”)  
…  
rescue  
puts e.message  
end

Anyone can help me about this problem?

Thanks
