Hi, folks!

Up to some days ago I did some mapserver configs only for web map.
I had ideas to configure it as WMS service, but was a bit worried, because
the description seemed for me that there is a lot of configuration and will
I can handle it. But well - it was not so difficult as I seems.
;-)

But finally I faced with some problems:

-> I could not it (WMS service layer) into ArMap9.1 or better say - I can to
add them, but it is blank

-> It works well in QGIS, but if I tested the same *.map file for browse
mode in browser, than if I put map projection in source shape file native
projection EPSG:2100, than I can see the layer in browser, but if I put map
projection in WGS84, than I can see only blank image in browser. In both
cases in QGIS the layer works and fits well with other projections, and
projection was defined for given layer as well.

-> The test with Google Earth finally went well, after I escaped some
characters in map file path.

Does somebody have an idea how to get my map service into ArcMap and is it
correct way if my map is blank in browse mode?
