Solution :

I did added the IpAddress of the machine to the DNS Manager and it worked fine for me.

If you want to use IPAddress of the machine instead of machine name in wsdl file :

Go to IIS..


Right Click on Default Website --> Edit Binings --> Host Name : IP Address of the Machine.


Or
Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.txt file
and add an entry for the machine and IPAddress.
