Hi,

I'm running into a really strange problem with WCF. I need to implement some recovery behavior for WCF service if not reachable endpoint IP address received or service can not bind. The flow is simple if the application fail on exception on service creation it terminate it and request from user another IP address and perform another attempt to create the service. (The code snippet below). If the address is not valid I get "A TCP error (10049: The requested address is not valid in its context) occurred while listening on IP Endpoint=.121.10.11.11" exception, but for any reason if I try the second attempt with valid address I've got the same exception with wrong IP address from previous attempt. Here is a code:

ServiceHost service = null;
try
{
    Uri[] uris = { new Uri(Constants.PROTOCOL + "://" + address + ":" + port) };
    service = new ServiceHost(typeof(IRemoteService), uris);
    NetTcpBinding tcpBinding =
        WcfTcpRemoteServicesManager.LessLimitedNewNetTcpBinding(int.MaxValue,
            int.MaxValue, int.MaxValue);
    ServiceEndpoint ep = service.AddServiceEndpoint(implementedContract.FullName,
        tcpBinding, serviceName);
    var throttle =
        service.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceThrottlingBehavior>();
    if (throttle == null)
    {
        throttle = new ServiceThrottlingBehavior
        {
            MaxConcurrentCalls = Constants.MAX_CONCURRENT_CALLS,
            MaxConcurrentSessions = Constants.MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS,
            MaxConcurrentInstances = Constants.MAX_CONCURRENT_INSTANCES
        };
        service.Description.Behaviors.Add(throttle);
    }
    service.Open();

}
catch (Exception e)
{
    _debugLog.WriteLineMessage(
        "Failed to open or create service exception. Exception message:" +
            e.Message);
    if (service!=null)
    {
        try
        {
            service.Close();
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            service.Abort();
            service.Close();
            throw e;
        }
    }
}

Thanks
