the warning bells are ringing when you mention "localhost" - since the emulator is a separate virtual machine, localhost will refer to the emulator itself. You'll need to specify the IP address of the host machine itself to reach your webservice.

open solution explorer ta3b, locate web reference and click on the entry.
on the properties tab you'll see 3 entries.
folder name, url behavior and web reference url.
change the web reference url and instead of localhost, write your ip address.
