I am getting EndpointNotFoundException on windows 7.

WCF

this is the service that I created:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.ServiceModel;

namespace HelloIndigo
{
    [ServiceContract(Namespace = "http://www.thatindigogirl.com/samples/2006/06")]
    public interface IHelloIndigoService
    {
        [OperationContract]
        string HelloIndigo();
    }

    public class HelloIndigoService:IHelloIndigoService
    {
        public string HelloIndigo()
        {
            return "Hello Indigo";
        }
    }
}

this is how i am hosting it:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.ServiceModel;

namespace Host
{
    class HostProgram
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(HelloIndigo.HelloIndigoService),
                new Uri("http://localhost:8000/HelloIndigo")))
            {
                host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(HelloIndigo.IHelloIndigoService),
                    new BasicHttpBinding(), "HelloIndigoService");
                
                Console.WriteLine("Press <enter> to exit the Host");
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}

this is the code for the client:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.ServiceModel;

namespace Client
{
    class ClientProgram
    {
        [ServiceContract(Namespace = "http://www.thatindigogirl.com/samples/2006/06")]
        public interface IHelloIndigoService
        {
            [OperationContract]
            string HelloIndigo();
        }


        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            
                EndpointAddress ep =
                    new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:8000/HelloIndigo/HelloIndigoService");

                IHelloIndigoService proxy = ChannelFactory<ihelloindigoservice>.
                    CreateChannel(new BasicHttpBinding(), ep);

                string s = proxy.HelloIndigo();
                Console.WriteLine(s);

                Console.WriteLine("Press <enter> to terminate Client.");
                Console.ReadLine();
    
        }
    }
}

my application is running in windows 7 and it has 3 projects. The host application runs first then the client.

the host is working fine, meaning I get Press <enter> to exit the Host in host console window.
But when the client runs I get the EndpointNotFoundException in the cient code at string s = proxy.HelloIndigo();

I am guessing maybe windows 7 has an added layer of security and I need to register a port 8000 for listening or something. I am not sure.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
