Silverlight WCF service binding error, "The remote server ..:Not found"

Question

this is my first post on here. Normally, I find my answer on other threads, but this time I'm really stumped.

I have a Silverlight App and I can connect to my webservice to send/receive data just fine, except for one page that I have. All the other pages, I can get data, make changes and send it back to the service. This one page, I try to send data to a service and it gives me a login box for the web server. Whether I put in my credentials or not, I get the error "The remote server returned an error: Not found." I have a combobox that gets loaded on Page Load event and it gets the data from the service just fine.

Any help is appreciated.

Here is my web.config file:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <authentication mode="Windows"/>
        <compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
    <system.serviceModel>
        <behaviors>
            <serviceBehaviors>
                <behavior name="">
                    <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
                    <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
                </behavior>
            </serviceBehaviors>
        </behaviors>
        <bindings>
            <customBinding>
                <binding name="Network_Integrity_Control_Panel.Web.Service_AD_SQL.customBinding0">
                    <binaryMessageEncoding />
                    <httpTransport authenticationScheme="Negotiate"/>
                </binding>
            </customBinding>
        </bindings>
        <serviceHostingEnvironment 
            aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"
            multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
        <services>
            <service name="Network_Integrity_Control_Panel.Web.Service_AD_SQL">
                <endpoint address="" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="Network_Integrity_Control_Panel.Web.Service_AD_SQL.customBinding0"
                          contract="Network_Integrity_Control_Panel.Web.Service_AD_SQL" />
                <endpoint address="mex" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="Network_Integrity_Control_Panel.Web.Service_AD_SQL.customBinding0" 
                          contract="IMetadataExchange" />
            </service>
        </services>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Firstly , Welcome to SO .

It gives you a login box because your Authentication mode is Windows

What I see from your config your endpoint address is empty address="".

You should give the address in your code or in your config file.

Have a look at Microsoft resources http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff648505.aspx
