If you're using a self hosted site like me, the way to avoid this problem (as described above) is to stipulate on both the host and client side that the wsHttpBinding security mode = NONE.

When creating the binding, both on the client and the host, you can use this code:

 Dim binding as System.ServiceModel.WSHttpBinding 
 binding= New System.ServiceModel.WSHttpBinding(System.ServiceModel.SecurityMode.None)

or

 System.ServiceModel.WSHttpBinding binding
 binding = new System.ServiceModel.WSHttpBinding(System.ServiceModel.SecurityMode.None);
