I’m new in the WCF and in the web developing ..

I wrote WCF service and i by creating new Web Sites – i added new WCF service that will host my WCF service.

In the ‘Web location’ i define the service to be HTTP and the URL to be
“http://localhost/MyService”

Now i want to access thru some other machine ( in the same network ) to my machine and get using the Service method that my WCF service exposed – but i fail each time ( calling from the second machine “http://a.b.c.d/MyService/interfaceMethodName”)

If i try to call the web service thru the same machine – i get the right response.

What i missing ?

    It sounds as if you’re hosting your WCF service inside IIS, correct??

    If so, then IIS dictates your service address – you cannot choose it at will.

    The address will be:

    http://YourServerName/YourVirtualDirectory/YourServiceFile.svc

    You do have a SVC file, right? Can you connect to the above URL (adapted to your own setup, of course! What I wrote is just a template / sample)

    Also: can you please show us your server-side config? The web.config and inside it – the section <system.serviceModel>. Please update your original question with that additional info by editing it – thanks!
