Problem with WCF service and Windows Mobile

Question

Hello!

I have a very simple wcf service. And a simple windows mobile client.

I have two Windows 2008 servers. One is my development pc. The other is placed in our dmz.

If I deploy my application to my development pcs, IIS, and open a port all the way in(Just for test). It works.

But if I copy the service on to the dmz server, it doesn't.

I have setup both machines myself, and I can reach the service from internet explore on the mobile device.

I've also created a std. winforms test client, and the service works on the dmz, just not from the mobile device...

Any idears what to do?

Answer 1

It could be related to security.

Is the difference between the winforms test client and the mobile, that when you are running the winforms app, you are logged in to the domain?

Answer 2

Make sure option "World Wide Web-services (HTTP)" in Windows Firewall exceptions is checked/enabled.

I ran into this same problem just today.
