Failed to call IIS-hosted WCF

Question

I'm trying to host my WCF service in IIS for internal testing.

I have no problem to add and consume the service in testing website inside the same PC as IIS. I also able to add the service into my testing website in another PC (LAN connection).

But the problem is that when I try to consume the service in testing website in another PC inside another PC (LAN connected), the service always keep saying that it failed to response.

I do hope anyone here who have experienced this kind of situation can share your precious experience. Thanks.

ps: sorry for my broken english.

Here's my WCF web.config:

<system.serviceModel>
        <services>
            <service behaviorConfiguration="GeoIPService.ServiceMethodBehavior" name="GeoIPService.ServiceMethod">
                <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="GeoIPService.IServiceMethod"/>
                <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
            </service>
        </services>
        <behaviors>
            <serviceBehaviors>
                <behavior name="GeoIPService.ServiceMethodBehavior">
                    <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
                    <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
                </behavior>
            </serviceBehaviors>
        </behaviors>
    </system.serviceModel>

If you could post the format of the URL to your service that would help too as well as error you are getting.

For a quick and general connectivity issue I typically resort to Fiddler (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/). This tool shows the traffic between client and server. The next step would be turning on WCF diagnostics but before that make sure that you can: ping the target server, that you can navigate via URL to the service end point, and use fiddler for further connectivity debugging assistance.
