I have successfully used WMS before but something has gone wrong. I can create a WMS connection in ArcCatalog and am able to connect successfully and see the images in the preview pane. But when I try to add the layer to an ArcMap project I get this error "Could not add specified data object to map".
I tried adding the layer by using the Add Data button in ArcMap. When I navigated to the connection it is shown with a red X as being disconnected. And upon trying to access the connnection I get the error message "Generic server error message".
