SQL-Server-2008

Hi,

I have created WCF Service and Client Application using Vb.Net. I host WCF service in Windows Service. In Windows 7,XP and Server 2008 client application successfully connect to the local windows service and works fine.
In LAN, I can connect Windows Service running on XP machine from Win7 machine and vice versa. But I can't connect Windows service running on Server 2008 machine from another machine client application ( Win 7 or XP). But client application running on server 2008 can connect service on the same machine.
Is there any configuration available to connect from any other machine on the LAN.
Kindly help me.

I have found the solution. In the server 2008, I have created port that is used and give permission for that port to connect any computer. Now I can connect the service from any computer.
