>I need to eventually have security on this web service but have not implemented anything for it yet. I did change the Authentication mode= to Forms rather than Windows but not since I have been testing locally.

Edit the web.config file with the Configuration Editor. Under Bindings select the binding. You should have a security tab - click on it and try selecting "None" for Mode. Set MessageClientCredentialType to None, and TransportClientCredentialType to None. Then retry it.

>Also, the data on the web host is the exact same as local. I don't have but two records I am retrieving as of now, but I will check the settings you recommended. Any thoughts on what they could be set to? I will primarily be only sending a single record at a time to the service and only retreiving a record or two at a time from this client. Later we will have a client that pulls down larger datasets.

I just picked really big numbers ;-) (something like 8MB for most of them). You could probably calculate it easily enough just by serializing the largest dataset you'll encounter, grab the filesize and bumping it up by a bit.
