Getting exception while calling WCF service from WCF service

Question

Hi, We are 2 WCF service A) hosted on IIS and B) hosted as Windows service.

We are using WSHttp binding

When i am calling B from A i am receiving the below error

To prevent the service from aborting idle sessions prematurely increase the Receive timeout on the service endpoint's binding

any idea???

There are several things to watch out for here:

• When Service A calls service B, it is the web.config of service A that is being used on the client side.
• When Service A calls service B, it may be the identity of the application pool that is being used
• Are you sure that service B is running, can you call it from a client other than service A.
• Which port is Service B running on, is that port blocked in the firewall?
• Which port is Service B running on, is it the same as the IIS site? In that case you will get a crash and the service B will not be able to listen on the port

My guess is that it is probably one of the last 2
