Validating with DTD - connection forcibly closed

I'm validating a document with the DTD in the document which is not on my machine, it is stored on the internet.

I am currently getting the following exception

System.Xml.XmlException: An error has occurred while opening external DTD 'http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.020/cXML.dtd': Unable to connect to the remote server --->

I know the file is accessible as I can browse to it. But why cannot .NET access it?! Thanks in advance.

I got following exception when i browse the [http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.020/cXML.dtd ] dtd file.

XML Parsing Error: syntax error Location: http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.020/cXML.dtd Line Number 15, Column 1:

Just download the dtd file and try to access the dtd locally. You can narrow down your problem.
