@BrunoFerreira - so did it solved your problem? – Vedran Rasol Apr 26 '12 at 14:23
OK, I have changed the application configuration on IIS. The address of this local application is now : My network adapter IP and my PC Name. But now I get the error: "specify a valid and point URL" – – Bruno Ferreira Apr 26 '12 at 14:25

How did you connect to your WCF Service usually, using FQDN or COMPUTENAME:PORT - use that! (do you launch your WCF from VS2010 by any chance in a CASINI WEb Server?) – C. Marius Apr 26 '12 at 14:32
