WCF net.tcp binding 808:* what does this mean

wcf

I am trying to connect to a WCF service someone set up and i'm having trouble,
I have no idea what 808:* means in the "Binding Information" for net.tcp site bindings.

thanks

this is how the bindings are configured in IIS 7 (navigate to IIS, right click on the application hosting the service, click 'edit bindings'). there are two entries:

type: http, port: 8000, ip address: *, binding information: (empty)

type: net.tcp, port: (empty), ip address: (empty), binding information: 808:*

I understand this is an old post but this might help someone that comes back looking for an answer similar to this:

808 is your port number you listen on * is a wild card for host name which means it will handle any requests coming in on port 808 with any host name.

In .Net 4, you can use the multipleSiteBindingsEnabled option:

<system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true">
    </serviceHostingEnvironment>
</system.serviceModel>

Then, you won't have to specify each address.

.net – WAS hosting a WCF service with net.tcp binding

Since WAS is part of the IIS architecture, you need to create a virtual directory in an IIS website (for example 'Default Web Site') that points to physical location of the WCF service you are hosting. Then you will have to create an application on that virtual directory, like you would for an ASP.NET website, or an ASMX web service.
You can easily do this by using IIS 7's management console.

You can read the details about how WAS works in IIS7 here.
