Getting ESRI to talk to my WMS

[Jason Grimes]

Hi,

I have set up a WMS service on my local machine.  We would like to give
ArcGIS users access to the layers but it will not talk to the WMS
service.  I can get Jump to talk and of course MapServer/Chameleon also
talks with the service and no problems.  Is there a specific way in
which you have to set up the map file?  According to my research ArcGIS
will not connect up to WMS servers that use any other projection except
a Lat/Lon one. I re-projected some of our data using EPSG:4326 and setup
a map file with only this projection and ArcGIS will still not talk.  It
reads the capabilities just fine, but after that it will not contact the
server again.  I have watched the Apache logs and I can see the
capabilities request come through and then nothing.  I have also tried
other services like the DM Solutions demo here:

And it works fine with ArcGIS.  Maybe one of the DM Solutions guys could
point me in the right direction.  :)  Any help would be most appretiated
and if there is a way of having the WMS also work with meter based
projections (like Albers) at the same time would be great too.  Thanks,

Jason
