Fail to access WSDL outside of localhost - vb.net

Question

I have my server hosting my WSDL on an app server. I'm able to access the service and use the methods when running locally off my own IP address. But when running on our app server I can only access the WSDL, reference it and view the methods it has, but not use the methods. I'm running it as a console application in VB.NET 4.0. I get an InternalServiceFault.
Public Class pokeWCF
Implements poke
Dim objFile As String = "C:\Users\lsj\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\ConsoleServer\easyA.txt"
Dim aryText() As String
Dim sK As String
Dim fM As String
Dim msg As String
Dim time As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Dim format As String = "ddd d HH:mm yyyy"
Dim OracleReceive As New ReceiveOrcl
Public Function backTo(securityKey As String, from As String, message As String) As ServiceResult Implements poke.backTo
'stuff
End Function
Public Function Test(securityKey As String) As ServiceResult Implements poke.Test
'moreStuff
End Function
End Class
Sub Main()
Dim strHostName As String
Dim strIPAddress As String
strHostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName()
strIPAddress = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName(strHostName).AddressList(0).ToString()
MsgBox(strIPAddress.ToString)
Dim url As Uri = New Uri("http://" & strIPAddress & ":22380/poke")
Dim host As New ServiceHost(GetType(pokeWCF), url)
Dim smb As New ServiceMetadataBehavior()
Console.WriteLine("CRAB BATTLE!")
Console.Write("Server Up" & vbCrLf)
smb.HttpGetEnabled = True
smb.MetadataExporter.PolicyVersion = PolicyVersion.Policy15
host.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb)
host.Open()
Console.WriteLine("Running at " & url.ToString)
Console.Read()
End Sub
After looking over the WSDLs generated from the app server and my localhost vary in their definitions.
Edit:
Locally generated WSDL:

Edit:
Having discovered WCF Test Client from I got this error after testing my service running on the server.
The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.

Answer 1

You have created the ServiceHost and set up a ServiceMetadataBehavior with HttpGetEnabled so that the service WSDL can be accessed at the address http://?wsdl. It looks like the only thing missing is the endpoints that need to be added to the ServiceHost.
You can add endpoints with the following syntax:
host.AddServiceEndpoint(GetType([ServiceContractType]), [binding], "[url]");
The ServiceContract type should be implemented by your service class (it's often an interface and looks like it's "poke" in this case).
There are many bindings available (more info here), and what you use will depend on what kinds of clients you want to support and what kind of features you want to provide (security, reliability, transactions, etC). BasicHttpBinding is the most backward-compatible and will work with anything that conforms to the WS-I Basic Profile specification.
The url you provide in the endpoint will be appended to the base url you provided to the ServiceHost when that object was created.
