I am having a timeout issue, these are the details:

My binding configuration looks like this:

<netTcpBinding>
 <binding name="WindowsServerOverTcp"
   maxReceivedMessageSize="10000000"
   maxBufferSize="10000000"
   maxBufferPoolSize="10000000"
   closeTimeout="00:00:03"
  openTimeout="00:00:03"
  sendTimeout="00:00:03"
  receiveTimeout="00:00:03">
  <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
  maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647"
  maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
  <security mode="None">
  </security>
 </binding>
 </netTcpBinding>

I am sending a message to a server which I know is turned off so the connection should just time out after 3 seconds as stipulated in my app.config, but for some reason it is taking 20-30 seconds.

When the EndPointNotFoundException is thrown this is the info I get:

System.ServiceModel.EndPointNotFoundException: Could not connect to net.tcp://10.0.0.82:4466/MegaMatcherWcf. The connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:03. TCP error code 10060: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 10.0.0.82:4466

If I try the same test with the machine turned on, but no listening software running I get the expected behaviour, with the connection timing out after 3 seconds. Why if the machine is off does it take 30 seconds, and then tell me it took 3 seconds?
