Question

I wrote the most simple wcf service that have one method

// return a+b
int ICalc::add(int a, int b) 

When I try to access the service through local machine – I get the result with no problem.
But try to access from other machine i cant get the service.

I try to define

<security mode="None"/>

from the client machine.

I try to define web page ‘default.htm’ to see if I can access and see the web page (to be more clear .. I can access and see the default.htm page).

I try to access using the IP and using the machine name – but nothing! Nothing work.

I define my service as WAS.

Someone can help me here ?

Service web.config file: ( 192.168.1.117 is machine ip – but I try also using localhost and machine name .. nothing help )

<system.web>
  <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
  <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10000000" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
  <services>
    <service name="ServiceLibrary.ServiceProxy" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior">

        </identity>
    </endpoint>
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
    <host>
      <baseAddresses>
        <add baseAddress="http://192.168.1.117:50025/ServiceProxy/" />

Client app.config file : (here I also try to use the machine ip and try also use the machine name – I also try to disable the firewall of the client and the server … nothing help)

Answer 1

I added the port in the client config file – but its still does not help and i still fail to open the the service.

( fail in the r.open()

ServiceProxyClient r = new ServiceProxyClient();
r.Open();

)
