It's true, hosting your services in IIS is far easier, but is quite limiting. In a distributed topology services may run on boxes without IIS. I found, eventually, a solution for that issue which involves programmatic configuration on both client and server. I whish VS2008 and WCF would provide better tools to configure this scenario. Regards Leon Thanks Mazhar for your comments.

As in your service you don't have any global Data objects to manage, make the concurrency mode multiple, this will improve alot, and if you do have global data objects, lock them before them changing. Deployment on IIS will ease the Client Implementation part as well. It would be better to host the service on IIS, many users would not be able to access it using custom port.

My service is a very simple one declaring a single "Login" operation in its contract (which follows exactly the same signatures as the download code). I've put together all the pieces, the only exception is that I created a service host console application and added a reference to the service assembly. When I run the application, first I launch the service host I get an Unhandled exception Sys.InvalidOperationException.ManagedRuntimeError error # 404... Server Not Found. I've also built the solution in the download code, converted it to vs2008 and changed to MessageVersion.Soap12WSAddressing10. When I run the sample I get the same error. I'm stuck with this issue, can you suggest a fix? I'll appriciate any help here Regards Leon Hi Peter,
