OK, I solved the issue, and for anyone whom comes accross the same
issue, here is my fix.
In my code above I was trying to do a simple assignment; however, this
is not possible because no cast is possible because the
PeerNodeAddress is a sealed class.
Therefore, if you instantiate a new nodeAddress with a new
implementation of the Service Endpoint, you can then pass the
AddressList from the IPAddress object and the code works wonderfully.
Hope this helps you.
<code>
foreach (IPAddress address in ips.AddressList)
{
if (address.AddressFamily ==
System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
{
ReadOnlyCollection<IPAddress> ip = new
ReadOnlyCollection<IPAddress>(ips.AddressList);
nodeAddress = new PeerNodeAddress(new
EndpointAddress("http://137.51.145.137:8001/servicemodel/service"),
ip);
}
}
