Remote Web service is very slow

Hi all,

I am having an issue with connecting to a remote web service from a .NET application. We can connect successfully and we receive the required information back, however it takes a long time, approx 30-60 seconds to get anything back.

When I run the client application on the machine where the web service is hosted the data is retrieved almost immediately. It appears there may be some network connectivity issue, or possibly a configuration issue with the web service, or IIS which hosts it.

I have reached a dead end. If it was a firewall issue then surely no data would come back, it appears to be just delayed.

If it helps to have any of the config settings let me know.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
