the service functions just fine on my local machine. However, when i publish the service to a remote machine in the same network and try and browse to the svc file (or add a web refference from a remote client) the page just hangs pretty much indefinately. Any ideas where i may be going wrong?

Do you get any errors? Is there any error handling in your code that provides any further information? Does anything get written to the event log?
