I'm developing an application with Silverlight 3 and ASP.NET Web Services, which uses Linq to SQL to get data from my SQL Server database.

Randomly when the user causes an action to get information from any of my web service methods, Silverlight throws the exception "The remote server returned an error: NotFound.", of type "CommunicationException", with the InnerException status of "System.Net.WebExceptionStatus.UnknownError".

Almost 10% of requests gets this error. If the user tries to get the same information again, normally the request has no erros and the user gets the data.

When debugging in Visual Studio only Silverlight stops on the exception, and I see no reason for the web service not being found.
