Patterns in Action WCF Communication

Created my own Patterns in Action Solution and having problems getting a response from the server, just freezes at return.base.Channel and if I break the code at this point Watch on Channel Value is "Cannot evaluate expression because the current thread is in sleep, wait, or join". ChannelFactory, ClientCredentials, Endpoint, InnerChannel and State also return this in State..

The sqlserver I am using is on an external server and my my service is created on port 53982, could either of these be causing my problem.

New to WCF, any help would be appreciated.
