I can see my MGOS derived WMS layers in ArcMap 9.2. If you have the sample
Sheboygan dataset loaded, you should be able right click on that layer name
in ArcMap and select Zoom to Layer. If you have setup your own layers
exposed via WMS and can't see them, the data may still be drawing but is
very small and you may have to manually zoom into that area. Be sure to
enter a limiting area in the Bounds parameter for your WMS setup in MapGuide
Studio. If you are using <Bounds SRS="EPSG:4326" west="-180" south="-90"
east="180" north="90" /> then ArcMap is going zoom to the entire world.

I'm trying to view my MGOS WMS service in ArcMap9.2 or uDig 1.18. Both
receive and process the capabilities info but neither draw the layer. I'm
able to manually request a map based on your helpful test tool which
generates
http://neomatix.linksysnet.com:8008/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?request=
GetMap&service=WMS&layers=Tiger/Layers/places2&srs=EPSG:4326&bbox=-87.74,43.
68,-87.69,43.815&width=500&height=500&format=image/png
but ArcMap just draws a blank and uDIG says RenderingConnection refused:
connect
Any hints on what else to look for?
