Hi,

I have two computers in my network.My domain is xxx.com. The service is hosted in my colleagues computer inside the network within the same domain. Lets assume the computer name in which the service is hosted is wksaaaaa.xxx.com(you get this name by right clicking on my computer-->properties and Full computer name). I need to consume the service and my computer name is wksbbbbb.xxx.com.

The service url will be something like http://wksaaaaa.xxx.com/BinaryEncodingService/Service1.svc?wsdl . I have to use this service url in vs2008 to generate the proxy

Answer 4

Hi Hari,
          How do we get the domain name??? like xxx.com which u have mentioned above? or do we need to create  it? and if yes then can you please explain how?

Answer 5

Hi,

you get this name by right clicking on my computer-->properties and Full computer name. If you are not able to identify it you need to check with your system admin. If not you can try thjis http://192.168.1.56/MyTestService/Test.svc  Assuming 192.168.1.56 is the IP of the computer in which you service is hosted.
