WCF: Why does passing in a remote endpoint fail?

WCF: Why does passing in a remote endpoint fail when passing the same endpoint via the configuration file works?

This works:

    Using con As New OfferingTap.OfferingTapClient(New ServiceModel.InstanceContext(callback), "NetTcpBinding_IOfferingTap"

This doesn't:

    Using con As New OfferingTap.OfferingTapClient(New ServiceModel.InstanceContext(callback), "NetTcpBinding_IOfferingTap", "net.tcp://qa1offerings:8190/")

Configuration File Excerpt:

        <endpoint address="net.tcp://qa1offerings:8190/" binding="netTcpBinding"
            bindingConfiguration="NetTcpBinding_IOfferingTap" contract="OfferingTap.IOfferingTap"
            name="NetTcpBinding_IOfferingTap">

Exception:

System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationException was unhandled

Appearantly you have to pass in an empty SpnEndpointIdentity to make this work.

    Using con As New OfferingTap.OfferingTapClient( _ 
        New ServiceModel.InstanceContext(callback), "NetTcpBinding_IOfferingTap", _
        New ServiceModel.EndpointAddress(New Uri("net.tcp://qa1offerings:8190/"), _
        New ServiceModel.SpnEndpointIdentity("")))
