I am trying to use the "add web reference" function in VS.Net 2003. When I try to browse for a service or use wsdl to connect to a known url I am
getting the error:

"The proxy settings on this computer are not configured correctly for web
discovery. Click the Help button for more information."

I poked around and got some recommendations to add the following to my
machine.config file:

<add verb="*" path="*.vsdisco"
type="System.Web.Services.Discovery.DiscoveryRequestHandler,
System.Web.Services, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" validate="false"/>

When i try to add this, though, I am not sure where to put it, and it after
I put it in there I start to get "error in machine.config" message when I
try to use either "Add web reference" in VS or when I use the command line
wsdl tool.

This KB article supposedly addresses this issue, but the link seems to be
dead:
Q307303 INFO: Troubleshooting Add Web Reference Issues
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/Articles/q307/3/03.asp

I am not sure what to do at this point. I am able to access web services
using proxy classes that were generated on other machines. Thanks for your
help!
