Unable to access WCF service hosted on server from c#.net application - performance

Question

I have created a WCF service to contact sql database.
I hosted the service on remote server IIS.
Service is run and can be able browse from IIS. IIS Browse returns the service URL like below. .
When I try to access the service from outside the server ie from my local system, It is throwing error.
Instead of domain name, I have tried with the system IP and I can able to access the service via IE ()
When I tried to add the service on my .net application it is throwing error.

Could any one help me to resolve this error.

Answer 1

Try commenting out the host section which specifies a base address.
Actually that's ignored by IIS, but try it anyway.
What is the actual error message you're getting?
