I guess you have to send some headers which IE doesn't.
The way IIS identifies what webmethod to dispatch the call to is through
SOAPAction header element which contains your method name (i.e.
http://www.myserver.com/myws/mymethod

You can test your webservice through browser IF your input data is not
complex arrays (you'll have a test from from your webservice directly after
you deploy it), otherwise you need to send it through SOAP.

I hope this helps.
