I have developed some WCF services and am testing them. &nbsp;To test i am running the services in visual studio 2010 included development server.<br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;They work fine using the built in test client.<br />
<br />
2. &nbsp;They work fine when accessed from a client application running in another instance of the vs2010 on my machine.<br />
<br />
3. &nbsp;They work fine when accessed from the above client application which was compiled and installed on my machine using a vs install package.<br />
<br />
4.They <b>DO NOT</b> work fine when accessed from the above client application which was compiled and installed on <i>another</i> machine using a vs install package.<br />
<br />
They give the following error:<br />
code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it <br />
<br />
I have verified that my machine's (which the services are running on) has the windows firewall disabled and that i can successfully ping my machine from the remote machine.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

WCF testing - another PC can not connect to my Development Server

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a tool used to implement and deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support distributed computing where services have remote consumers. It features a runtime and a set of APIs in the .NET Framework for building connected, service-oriented applications. Services typically have a WSDL interface (Web Services Description Language) that any WCF client can use to consume the service, regardless of which platform the service is hosted on. WCF implements many advanced Web services (WS) standards such as WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, RSS Syndication Services, WS-Discovery, routing and better support for REST services.

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
