I am self hosting a WCF service on winXP sp3 machine and the client is on the same machine.I tried to call the service api and it gave me following error

C#

An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

                                                                                 at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size)

                                                                              The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.
                                                                                
But same service when hosted on remote machine and client accessing service is on windows xpsp3 machine then it works.

Is there a known issue for winxpsp3 machine when both client and service are on same machine.

Thanks in advance

What I have tried:

I tried WCF tracing on client machine and I found following error

C#

I hosted service using localhost in the endpoint URL and same for agent proxy.On Win XPSP3 I observed that by changing the machine name from "Localhost" to "127.0.0.1" the communication was working as expected.
But on winXPSP2 "localhost" works.
Not sure whether this is related to some security patch that is present in winXPSP3
