>>For me, the same thing happened that has been happening all along ... it worked fine when I had Fiddler running. It didn't work when I shut Fiddler down (froze up my laptop).

>>It could be my laptop I suppose. After I rebooted again after the last freeze up, I couldn't get Internet Explorer to connect to any web sites. At all ... nothing! It wasn't my Internet connection ... my email and Trillian were working fine. Another computer that was on the same network could access web sites, so it wasn't a problem with my ISP.

>Indeed. Could you access the server from a browser rather than using your client? Was only IE affected or was there also a problem with other browsers?

My service or your sample? I didn't try my service from a browser, I only tried yours (just didn't think of it). I only have IE, I don't have any other browsers.

>>>It's odd. If the computer name was not correct then I wouldn't expect Fiddler to intercept. But if it *was* correct then it should have worked in the first place :-{

Yep, odd indeed. Fiddler must be magic! <g>

Client:

>>>            {
>>>                channel.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(new WebHttpBehavior());
>>>                IService myChannel = channel.CreateChannel();

>>>                    Console.WriteLine(myChannel.Echo(s));
>>>                } while (s != "Q");

For me Fiddler intercepts that out of the box and I can also use it from the browser with http://machinename:8000/Echo?s=Testing.
