WCF

[Ringo]

I'm following a wcf sample app I found on MSDN that creates a
calculator service and a client for it.

In the sample both service and client are on the same machine and in
the server it has
Uri baseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8000/ServiceModelSamples/
Service");

I can browse to that location and see the service.

Now I want to try it over my local network, so I got my IP address on
the server computer and put it in
Uri baseAddress = new Uri("http://192.168.1.103:8000/
ServiceModelSamples/Service");

then on the client machine I tried to go to the address above but I
get "connection timed out".

Am i missing something? IS there something else I need to do?

Thanks
Ringo

The built in web server in Visual Studio only accepts connections using
localhost (127.0.01) as host. You can't browse to it from another
computer. For that you need IIS (or equivalent).
