I have written a code for my WPF App to use WCF, wcf is running as Windows service, I want the program wpf to run on client machines. I installed WPF app on PC along with the service and sql server, it is working fine in there. However, when I installed the wpf client on another PC, the client WPF is not able to connect to the server. I mean the WCF windows service is not support for lan usage, however I designed it for this intention only. Could you please check my code and tell me where I have gone wrong please.
WPF App code:

Looking forward for the needfull. Thank you.
I later checked the event logs and the issue was with the time on binding and I changed it to 00:10:00 and it seems to work, but this time I landed on a new error and it does not relate to this question.
