Is your service application running under a user account that allows network access?

no my service is not running under user account

It needs to run under a NetworkAccount then, so it can have access to the network.

You might want to try specifying the proxy server on the request object you've created this might not be set under the user account that the service is using so look at system.net.httpwebrequest.proxy[^] for more info. Also adding network credentials will be beneficial as well.

Good luck
