ASP.NET, C#, Bing Search API WebResults Connection Attempt Failed, Party Did Not Properly Respond

Question

I made an application for my website that will search it using the new Bing Search API from the Azure Marketplace.  I am subscribed to web results only. 

The application is an aspx file with a cs file for codebehind.  I followed 2 web tutorials. My application works every time when I test it from my computer.  It sends the correct query, returns results, and populates the datagrid.  If you want links to the tutorials, I can provide those. 

I published my application to my webspace using FTP.  The aspx page works:

brewmuse.com/search.aspx

However, it times out after 20 seconds with an error that says "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection has failed because connected host has failed to respond 157.55.194.132:443"

I asked my web host to ask about it, and they wrote back "When we checked the IP address 157.55.194.132, it is inaccessible. We would like to verify if the IP address is active?"

Can someone help me with this error?  I feel like I'm super close to having a working application, which will make me very happy.  Thanks!

Hi,

Try to add proxy setting in the config file:

It is a ASP.NET issue, so for more issue, please post it to http://forums.asp.net
