underlying connection was closed:unable to connect to remote server

[beachbum714]

I have been receiving this exception for over a week with a .NET remoting app and can't find a solution anywhere that works. Below I'll paste my config files and the client code calling the remote method. I'd really appreciate some assistance. The Server code and files are on a remote server within our facility and have been told more than once there is no firewall between my workstation and it. So firewalls are out of the question as the source of the problem. I assume its somewhere in my config files but I've tried everything I've seen on the net.

I receive the Net.WebException: underlying connection was closed:unable to connect to remote server exception message.

Any thoughts?

there is no proxy server between the client (my workstation) and the server nor a firewall.
