We have created a small WCF test project in order to test and isolate this problem.
We are running Windows 7 64bit and Visual Studio 2008.
- When we press F5 to run, it takes about 10 seconds to start the WCF host.
- If we remove the network cable and press F5, it takes less than 1 second to start.
- If we turn on the wireless network it also takes less than 1 second to start.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
Edit
We have now tested this with Visual Studio 2010, this does not have the same problem. So it could be a bug in the Visual Studio 2008 WCF host.
Edit 2
We have now checked this on a different network, no problem. So it appears to be a combination of Visual Studio 2008 and a specific network.
