You cannot send cross domain AJAX requests because of the same origin policy restriction that's built into the browsers. In order to make this work your HTML page containing the jQuery code must be hosted on the same domain as the Web Service (http://192.168.1.5/ws/MyWS/).

There are workarounds that involve using JSONP on the server, but since your web service is SOAP this cannot work.

The only reliable way to make this work if you cannot move your javascript on the same domain as the web service is to build a server side script that will be hosted on the same domain as the javascript code and that will act as a bridge between the 2 domains. So you would send an AJAX request to your server side script which in turn will invoke the remote web service and return the result.
