We have a wcf webservice that an external client will be using to provide requests. This webservice (the webservice) calls another wcf service ( the agent) where the business logic is implemented.
The agent also monitors activity in the database and when the requested information is ready (often days later) the agent generates an object containing the requested data. It needs to pass the object to the webservice where the webservice will form XML and post it to the clients webservice.
The webservice implements two different imterfaces, one that the client uses and one that the agent uses.
The trouble is, on the local machine, I am unable to get the agent to connect to the webservice to send the results. Both the webservice and the agent are running on my local machine for debugging purposes. In VisualStudio2012, the webservice project is set up to use IISExpress and defines a specific port to use. Project URL: https://local.someaddress.net:51448/ However, the port the agent uses to try to connect to the webservice is a different port.
The webservice is able to call the agent just fine, but the agent gets a tcp error code 10061 when it tries to call the webservice.
I've already tried "appcmd.exe set app "Default Web Site/" /enabledProtocols:http,net.tcp".
Is it possible to configure IISExpress to have the webservice open both ports? Or is there something obvious I am missing here?
(Since the config files contain links to localhost and stackoverflow doesn't allow that, I have replaced localhost with local.someaddress.net.)
Here are the contents of the webservice's web.config:

I found this in an IIS Express FAQ:
Q: Does IIS Express support non-HTTP protocols such as net.tcp or MSMQ?
A: No. IIS Express only supports HTTP and HTTPS as its protocol.
It seems like this is the root of my problem. I need to install IIS on my local machine.
