WCF Custom binding - send timeout always reached - wcf

Question

I have a wcf service that needs to implement callbacks and be hosted on IIS 6.0. Since IIS 6.0 doesn't support the net.tcp binding, I decided to use a custom binding because the service is accessed by different clients in different timezones and, using custom binding, I can set the allowed clock skew time to values other than the default one.
Here is my server config file:
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="pscNetBinding" openTimeout="00:10:00">
<reliableSession acknowledgementInterval="00:00:00.2000000"
flowControlEnabled="true" inactivityTimeout="23:59:59"
maxPendingChannels="128" maxRetryCount="8" maxTransferWindowSize="128"
ordered="true" />
<compositeDuplex />
<oneWay maxAcceptedChannels="128" packetRoutable="false">
<channelPoolSettings idleTimeout="00:10:00"
leaseTimeout="00:10:00" maxOutboundChannelsPerEndpoint="10" />
</oneWay>
<textMessageEncoding maxReadPoolSize="64" maxWritePoolSize="16"
messageVersion="Default" writeEncoding="utf-8">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647"
maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647"
maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
</textMessageEncoding>
<httpTransport manualAddressing="false"
maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"

keepAliveEnabled="true" maxBufferSize="2147483647"
proxyAuthenticationScheme="Anonymous" realm="" transferMode="Buffered"
unsafeConnectionNtlmAuthentication="false" useDefaultWebProxy="true"/>
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>

bindingConfiguration="pscNetBinding" contract="PSCNetWCFService.IPSCNetWCFService"
name="pscNetBinding" />
</client>
If I use the server and client on the same machine, everything works fine. If I run them on different machines, I get the following error:
Could not connect to
http://10.155.18.198:9000/e60ba5b3-f979-4922-b9f8-c820caaa04c2. TCP
error code 10060: A connection attempt failed because the connected
party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established
connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
10.155.18.198:9000.
Can anyone in the community help me in this regard?

Answer 1

Can you show the part of the config where you're defining the customBinding? Maybe you just didn't paste that part in, but when you define a custom binding, you have to specify an encoding and a transport at minimum - something like this:
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="MyCustomTextTcpBinding">
<textMessageEncoding />
<tcpTransport />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
Can you also paste in the part where you're defining your "pscNetBinding" bindingConfiguration?

Windows service is undoubtely a nice solution but i think a better would be a self hosting
and you could have anytype of binding on it.
