I tried to setup a service for testing using a net.tcp binding. I also set a http endpoint. The configuration is as follows:
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="Inbound_REST">
<webHttp />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="InboundHttpConfiguration">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
<behavior name="InboundTcpConfiguration">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="InboundTcpConfiguration" name="Inbound">
<endpoint address="" binding="netTcpBinding" contract="IContract">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost"/>
</identity>
</endpoint>
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:6969/Inbound" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
<client>
<endpoint name="httpEndPoint" address="http://localhost:1568/Inbound.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="IContract" />
<endpoint name="tcpEndPoint" address="net.tcp://localhost:6969/Inbound" binding="netTcpBinding" contract="IContract" />
</client>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="httpbind">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
<netTcpBinding>
<binding name="tcpbind">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</netTcpBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
When I attempt to consume the service using the net.tcp binding, it always return me the error:
Could not connect to net.tcp://localhost:6969/Inbound. The connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:00.9531494. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:6969.
By the way, the http binding works fine. I think it could be some machine configuration, but wasn't able to find what's the root cause.
