error on creating WCF proxy after upgrading to .net 4.5

Question

I have a WCF service which was working good on .net4.0 But several days ago i upgraded the code to .net4.5 and compiled it . The Service is working fine and listening to specific port. But when i try to create a Proxy client i get an error (i was able to create a proxy client with "old" WCF service compiled on .net4.0) This is the app.config-

<service behaviorConfiguration="ExternalSystemsService.WExternalSystemsBehavior" name="ExternalSystemsService.WExternalSystems"> 
        <endpoint address="" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="ExternalSystemsTCP" name="ExternalSystemsServiceTcpBindingEndpoint" contract="ExternalSystemsService.IWExternalSystems"/>
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" name="MexTcpBindingEndpoint" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
        <host> 
          <baseAddresses> 
            <add baseAddress="net.tcp://fm6gmup4006:3220/ExternalSystemsService"/> 
          </baseAddresses> 
        </host> 
      </service>

and this is the error i receive (it is not related to the different end points , it is the same error if i use the endpoint as it is written in the app.config)-

If you would like more help, type "svcutil /?"

Error message and configuration base address contain different urls and ports. Is this intended? — Alexander, Jun 26 '14 at 19:23
it is not the issue. it is the same error if i use same endpoints. I just tested it on different endpoints . — Misha Groiser, Jun 26 '14 at 19:25
Have you tried accessing your endpoint with WcfTestClient tool? Have you tried to specify net.tcp://havjules01:3020/External SystemsService/mex as url for svcutil? — Alexander, Jun 26 '14 at 19:29
i tried accessing with WCFTestClient. The error i receive there is-Error: Cannot obtain Metadata from net.tcp://havjules01:3020/ExternalSystemsService — Misha Groiser, Jun 26 '14 at 19:32
also using mex as url gives same error strange that i was able to create a proxy with WCF compiled to .net4 but not with .net4.5 . Although, i haven't changed anything in code — Misha Groiser, Jun 26 '14 at 19:36
Have you tried: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2690966/svcutil-exe-for-net-4-0 ? What is the path to svcutil? Also svcutil have /targetClientVersion option, which can specify target framework - it also may help. — Alexander, Jun 26 '14 at 19:45
Tried using svcutil in VS2010 command prompt, receiving same error — Misha Groiser, Jun 26 '14 at 19:50
