Answer 1

Had this problem with a long intialisation process that was being called from the OnStart event of a Windows Service Host installer. Fixed by setting the security mode and timeouts for the TCP binding.

            // Create a channel factory.
            NetTcpBinding b = new NetTcpBinding();
            b.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Transport;
            b.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = TcpClientCredentialType.Windows;
            b.Security.Transport.ProtectionLevel = System.Net.Security.ProtectionLevel.EncryptAndSign;

            b.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 1000000;
            b.OpenTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2);
            b.SendTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2);
            b.ReceiveTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
