WCF inter-service messaging - wcf

Question

I am building a system with 2 WCF Services. Both are IIS Hosted. At the moment they both reside in a single VS2010 website app, running on my local IIS7 (Windows 7) using the Derfault Website. I have enabled net.tcp on both.
Service1
accepts HTTP posts using webHttpBinding
wraps the data in a serializable composite object
sends the composite object to Service2 (we hope) using netMsmqBinding
Service2
receives said message and does something with it
Service 1 works as expected, however instead of placing the message on the configured Private Queue, our code is creating a new Queue under "Outgoing Queues" with the handle
DIRECT=TCP:127.0.0.1\private$\Service2/Service2.svc
note the forward slash
Of course Service2 never sees the message - this is the first time I have attempted this structure so I am not certain that Service2 misses the message because of its location, but based on what I have read it would seem so - I have not come across anything mentioning this Queue-creation behaviour.
Questions:
Am I doing this correctly (is there something wrong in the structure, web.config or code)?
When done properly in VS Debug, should Service1's
proxy.ProcessForm(formMessage);
hit breakpoints in my Service2 code, or is there another way to hande Service2 debug (ala windows services for example)?
Service1 Web.Config
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="webHttpFormBinding" crossDomainScriptAccessEnabled="true"/>
</webHttpBinding>
<netMsmqBinding>
<binding name="MsmqFormMessageBindingClient" exactlyOnce="false" useActiveDirectory="false" >
<security mode="None">
<message clientCredentialType="None"/>
<transport msmqAuthenticationMode="None" msmqProtectionLevel="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</netMsmqBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint
name="HttpServiceWebEndpoint"
address=""
binding="webHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="webHttpFormBinding"
contract="Service1.HttpService.IHttpServiceWeb" />
<endpoint name="MsmqFormMessageBindingClient"
address="net.msmq://127.0.0.1/private/Service2/Service2.svc"
binding="netMsmqBinding"
contract="MyInfrastructure.IService2" />
</client>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
<!--

</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>

<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
On Receipt of an HTTP Post Service1 executes the following:
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(formData);
string str = sr.ReadToEnd();
var t = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(str);
Hashtable nvc = new Hashtable();
foreach (string n in t)
{
nvc.Add(n, (string)t[n]);
}
WcfFormMessage formMessage = new WcfFormMessage(nvc);
////create the Service binding
NetMsmqBinding msmq = new NetMsmqBinding("MsmqFormMessageBindingClient");
msmq.Security.Mode = (NetMsmqSecurityMode) MsmqAuthenticationMode.None;
EndpointAddress address = new EndpointAddress("net.msmq://127.0.0.1/private/Service2/Service2.svc");
ChannelFactory<IService2> factory = new ChannelFactory<IFormService>(msmq,address);
IService2 proxy = factory.CreateChannel();
using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required))
{
proxy.ProcessForm(formMessage);
//do any 'sent to queue logging/updates here
}

I am ready to bet that your problem is related to 127.0.0.1 in your config. Type the machine name in there, even if it is local.
