I have designed a self-hosting wcf service. for test case i use console application. My host computer IP: 192.168.0.145
Here is my console application module code.

'Module1.vb
Imports System
Imports System.ServiceModel
Imports System.ServiceModel.Description
Imports myLib.Service1

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        ' Step 1 Create a URI to serve as the base address
        Dim baseAddress As New Uri("http://192.168.0.145:8001/SayHelloService")

        ' Step 2 Create a ServiceHost instance
        Dim selfHost As New ServiceHost(GetType(myLib.Service1), baseAddress)
        Try

            ' Step 3 Add a service endpoint
            ' Add a service endpoint
            selfHost.AddServiceEndpoint(GetType(myLib.IService1), New WSHttpBinding(), "HelloService")

            ' Step 4 Enable metadata exchange.
            Dim smb As New ServiceMetadataBehavior()
            smb.HttpGetEnabled = True
            selfHost.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb)

            ' Step 5 Start the service
            selfHost.Open()
            Console.WriteLine("The service is ready.")
            Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to terminate service.")
            Console.WriteLine()
            Console.ReadLine()

            ' Close the ServiceHostBase to shutdown the service.
            selfHost.Close()
        Catch ce As CommunicationException
            Console.WriteLine("An exception occurred: {0}", ce.Message)
            selfHost.Abort()
        End Try
    End Sub
End Module

Here is my service app.config code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" />
  </system.web>
  <!-- When deploying the service library project, the content of the config file must be added to the host's 
  app.config file. System.Configuration does not support config files for libraries. -->
  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service name="myLib.Service1">
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress = "http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/myLib/Service1/" />
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
        <!-- Service Endpoints -->
        <!-- Unless fully qualified, address is relative to base address supplied above -->
        <endpoint address ="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="myLib.IService1">
          <!--

              automatically.
          -->
          <identity>
            <dns value="localhost"/>
          </identity>
        </endpoint>
        <!-- Metadata Endpoints -->
        <!-- The Metadata Exchange endpoint is used by the service to describe itself to clients. --> 
        <!-- This endpoint does not use a secure binding and should be secured or removed before deployment -->
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
      </service>
    </services>
    <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>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

if i run client from same computer then everything works great. but when i try to run client from another computer in LAN it can't find the endpoint of WCF.

here is my client app.config code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <system.diagnostics>
        <sources>
            <!-- This section defines the logging configuration for My.Application.Log -->
            <source name="DefaultSource" switchName="DefaultSwitch">
                <listeners>
                    <add name="FileLog"/>
                    <!-- Uncomment the below section to write to the Application Event Log -->
                    <!--<add name="EventLog"/>-->
                </listeners>
            </source>
        </sources>
        <switches>
            <add name="DefaultSwitch" value="Information" />
        </switches>
        <sharedListeners>
            <add name="FileLog"
                 type="Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener, Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=MSIL"
                 initializeData="FileLogWriter"/>
            <!-- Uncomment the below section and replace APPLICATION_NAME with the name of your application to write to the Application Event Log -->
            <!--<add name="EventLog" type="System.Diagnostics.EventLogTraceListener" initializeData="APPLICATION_NAME"/> -->
        </sharedListeners>
    </system.diagnostics>
    <system.serviceModel>
        <bindings>
            <wsHttpBinding>
                <binding name="WSHttpBinding_IService1" />
            </wsHttpBinding>
        </bindings>
        <client>
            <endpoint address="http://192.168.0.145:8001/SayHelloService/HelloService"
                binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IService1"
                contract="ServiceReference1.IService1" name="WSHttpBinding_IService1">
                <identity>
                    <userPrincipalName value="ERP001\Manager1" />
                </identity>
            </endpoint>
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

what should i do now to get access to the host service from another computer in LAN using client.
