When you are running the application in the test client, you should see it gives you a URL that is is communicating with.. has the method name etc in it.

Type that into a browser window and you will see it is already running on the local host.

The WCF Test Client is just a client that utilizes the running service. If the Test client is working, then your service is available.

Have a read here:

You need to make sure your methods are exposed to standard browser requests so the service knows how to handle them. This thread loosely touches on it.
