Unable to connect to different HTTP port on server

Question

I am new to WCF Services, I have developed a WCF service library hosted within a Windows Service. The service end point is http://servername:9980/ApplicationServer/ServiceName. When I run this service on local system and try to connect using my application, everything works fine. The problem starts when I deploy this service on server system, none of my application can use this service, even the browser says page not found. Though, if I remove the specific port number from the endpoint all works well. I have already opened all the ports in Windows Firewall including Client and Server. Also proper exceptions are made to the router firewall, still I am not able to host the service on specific port. I have even tried by switching firewall off on both client and server system.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

When you remove the specific port number it defaults to port 80.

So there is something that is blocking the other port.

Try using the Telnet command to check if the port is open (you may have to enable telnet)

As you have allready checked the firewalls, it could be urlscan or a network device.
