connection to Web Service Refused

I created a simple webservice on my local system. I then created the proxy on the command line (Services.cs).
I wrote a Console App to use the webservices. Added a reference to System.Web.Services And did a right click Add --> Existing Item --> Services.cs

Anonymous Access is set on IIS.

The failure I get is:
Unhandled Exception: System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server --> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

I tried setting (in the WebService) Dynamic Port to false. After I did this, it worked the first time, but since then has the same error as above.

OS: Windows XP Pro

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jason
