self hosting wcf service

I am still a newbie in learning wcf. I have hosted a service in console application(self host).

My base address is http://localhost:8080/pulse

How can some one else access this service from their system within the same network??

Will merely substituting localhost to my ip address work?

That is http://171.220.14.7:8080/pulse. Will this work? Can the wsdl be accessed through this?

Yes, this will work.

Obviously, you need to take care of all the normal things that can hinder people accessing your PC, like firewalls, network routing etc. But if they can access your PC, they can access the service the way you mentioned.
