First off, you can't set permissions for the aspnet user on a remote computer, it is a computer-level account, not a domain account. Take a look at this article

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306158

You can specify a domain username/password using the second example on this page, and access the remote resource only when you need it. All the other times, the webservice won't have any access.
