Adding a WMS

[CraigCarsley]

I'm trying to pull in FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer, but I receive the following error:


[INDENT]"The WMS service, http://hazards.fema.gov/wmsconnector/wmsconnector/Servlet/NFHL?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS, cannot be added to the map. It is either not available or you have entered an invalid URL for the type of layer you want to reference"[/INDENT]


The service complies with version 1.1.1 of the WMS specification.  Could that be the problem?


Additionally, I have tried to connect with this service using ArcMap 10.1, and there too had trouble.  When I was on ArcMap 10.0, I was able to connect.  Now, when I try it there, I receive the following error:


[INDENT]"A user-supplied component or subscriber raised an exception"[/INDENT]


Has anyone seen this error before?

Any insight appreciated!
Thanks,

Looks like the service is down. If you enter the provided URL in a browser, this is what returns.

Thanks Mike.  I did notice that when I tried the same thing.  I thought it must be an error, since their application seems to be consuming the service anyway.
