help setting up and using SQLXML web service ?

Hi,
I have an app that connects to a remote SQL database using 1433. It
connecting using a locked down user then runs a stored procedure passing it
XML.
Roger Walter pointed me in the direction of SOAP, SQLXML web service.
I installed:
SoapToolkit 2.0
SoapToolkit 3.0
SQLXML 3.0 sp2
Now this is done i don't see any amendments to IIS (restarted) . What should
i see ?
How do i talk to the webservice ?
What should be install in services ?
Was hoping i can just pass user/pass/xml to webservice to run stored
procedures in same way i am at the moment just with slighty connection
changes.
Please help.
ScottI found this:
1.. Download SqlXml 3.0 (this test was done with Sp2 Beta 1).
2.. Run the installation program. You will need to also install the SOAP
toolkit if you want to use the SqlXml SOAP features.
3.. Open the IIS Virtual Directory Management tool under Start ->
Programs -> SqlXml 3.0 -> Configure IIS.
4.. Create a new virtual directory. Enter the information on the General
tab and the Security tab. When you go to the Data Source tab you should be
able to browse the databases on the server. If you can't then you need to
check your security settings.
5.. Turn on Allow sql= queries so that you can test your setup. Make sure
you turn this off when you are done testing.
I am finding however that i cant browse to my index page in the new virual
directory. This index page is basic aspx for login, no sql connection
required.
