Question

After creating a service host, I am not able to open page “http://myuri:8000/ServiceModelSamples/Service” when I use internet explorer.

  Uri baseAddress = new Uri("http://myuri:8000/ServiceModelSamples/Service");

  // Step 2 of the hosting procedure: Create ServiceHost
  ServiceHost selfHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(CalculatorService), baseAddress);
  // rest of the below code is from calculator MSDN sample

It only works if I use localhost instead of “myuri”. Can someone please tell what else is required?

EDIT: myri is actually my PC name. I tried using IP adress for my PC also. Internet explorer is able to open up the URL from my box, but it fails when I open the URL from other box (eg., the URL I am trying to open is http://111.251.164.20:8000/ServiceModelSamples/Service )

Eh… myuri is just an example, a placeholder. Not something you should use literally.
