How to access WCF service from another machine

Software2007

- I created HelloWorld WCF service. - I followed instructions to host it on IIS 7.0 I can do this fine: localhost:4567/Service1.svc I can do this fine: 192.168.1.101:4567/Service1.svc This still shows port# though, I want to be able to do something like this without the need to specify the port: localhost/Service1.svc. so I can access it from my other machine 192.168.1.102. How can I set it up that way on my local machine? The end goal is to access my local machine from iOS and read JSON data. Thanks

You still need to specify a port number, the IP address alone is not sufficient for connecting across a network.

Strange, I never had to with a web Service. I used to do this from my other machine: http://192.168.1.101/WebService/something.asmx. I think we don't need to specify a port once its deployed on IIS, isn't this the point of getting hosted on IIS so we can do: somedomain.com/service.svc ? Anyways, I was able to create a virtual directory so I could do that.

Yes, but in this case the port is selected according to the protocol specifier in the URI. The http specifier means redirect to the well-known port that handles the HTTP protocol: port 80.
