Answer 1

if your sharepoint server is built on a farm, Check your "Alternate Access Mapping" see if there is an entry: yourwebserverurl intranet yourwebserverurl if not, add it.

It probably due to farm load balance address resolve related.

Answer 2

I get the same message when I use the default credentials. Try replacing them with this:

copyWebService.Credentials 
    = new NetworkCredential("Administrator", "pass", "MyDomain");

I'm not sure if it will solve your problem but, when you reference the webservice, don't use the [site] part of the URL.

Try instead: http://[server]/_vti_bin/[webservice].
