Vista - Unable to open IChannelListener

Newbie here. I am getting the error "unable to open its IChannelListener",
but the service is running as an admin, and on a different port from
anything else. If it matters, I'm trying to run multiple instances of the
same service name on different schemes/ports, so that remote users can use
HTTP/SOAP, LAN users can use TCP, and localhost users can use named pipes.
Apparently, this isn't doable. I suspect a service name conflict? Since the
service name is the fully qualified classname w/ namespace, do I create a
whole new service class for each scheme?

Some sample code below. Only works when I comment out all but the http bits.
Fails otherwise on tcpServiceHost.Open(); regarding the HTTP uri
http://localhost:8080/Bleah/Admin (weird?!).

---------------

internal static ServiceHost httpServiceHost = null;
internal static ServiceHost tcpServiceHost = null;
internal static ServiceHost pipeServiceHost = null;

internal static void StartService()
{
// Consider putting the baseAddress in the configuration system
// and getting it here with AppSettings
Uri baseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:8080/Bleah/Admin");

// Instantiate new ServiceHost
httpServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(AdminService), baseAddress);
httpServiceHost.Open();

// tcp service
// Consider putting the baseAddress in the configuration system
// and getting it here with AppSettings
baseAddress = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:2062/Bleah/Admin");
tcpServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(AdminService), baseAddress);
tcpServiceHost.Open();

// pipes service
// Consider putting the baseAddress in the configuration system
// and getting it here with AppSettings
baseAddress = new Uri("net.pipe://localhost/Bleah/Admin");
pipeServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(AdminService), baseAddress);
pipeServiceHost.Open();

}

....
<service name="BleahAdminService" behaviorConfiguration="returnFaultsHttp">
<!--<endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding"
address="true" />-->
<endpoint contract="BleahIAdminService"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
address="http://localhost:8080/Bleah/Admin" />
<endpoint contract="BleahIAdminService"
binding="netTcpBinding"
address="net.tcp://localhost:2060/Bleah/Admin" />
<endpoint contract="BleahIAdminService"
binding="netNamedPipeBinding"
address="net.pipe://localhost/Bleah/Admin" />
</service>

Jon,

You have defined one service with three endpoints, but you are trying to
open the service host three times (and subsequently expose the same
endpoints over again). You only need to open the service host once. Also,
you don't need to set the base address, since you have full addresses in
your config file.

I played with this for two or three hours yesterday. I realized what you are
saying, but doing it as you described (open it once, without a base address
in the constructor, but leave the base addresses in the config file), the
listeners were NOT active.

I seem to have gotten it to work. A good night of sleep, attention to
absolute URIs, and knowing I'm on the right track (i.e. using the config
file solely) and I'm good to go.

Hi,

Would you please shared your solution (code + config) with this group?
I am struggling with a similar problem.
