Streamed transfer + netTcpBinding = framing mode not supported?

Question

Can anybody explain what this error means:

The .Net Framing mode being used is not supported by blah blah yadda

I can't find any info worthwhile. The exception says to check the server logs, however I can't find anything in them relating to this error. I don't know what the hell a "framing mode" is, otherwise I'd try different framing modes.

What I'm trying to do is to create a TCP WCF endpoint to send a Stream to the client.

Here's the interface (prototyping):

[ServiceContract]
public interface IXpsService
{
    [OperationContract]
    Stream GetCurrentDocument();
}

Possibly relevant: I'm combining the server and client in the same application. — user1228

One of the ways this error occurs is if there is a mismatch in the configuration of the client and the server.

The default is buffered, if one is set to streaming, when they try to talk to each other you get a framing error.

It thinks that each batch of data that the buffered tries to send over is a frame.
