Using fully qualified names to project portal

How can I force links in Team Explorer to use fully qualified domains names

e.g. When I right click to show the project portal it links to something like this:

http://server/sites/project/default.aspx

But I want it to link to this:

http://server.mydomain.com/sites/project/default.aspx

My connection to the TFS is: server.mydomain.com

With my current setup all works fine when I am in the local lan but when I work from home the relative server names won't connect.

    The table you are referring to seems to have been renamed to "Tfsintegration" in TFS Beta 3 Refresh.

    Two things are occurring

    1. When you first set up the server, the interfaces are only set for http://server locations.  This should be fixed in RTM
    2. Once you move from http://server to http://server.domain.com, you start moving to a new internet zone which means you have stricter rules that could stop you from connecting.

    Right now the only way is to go into the BisDB, tbl_service_interface and modify all http://server to http://server.domain.com.  Also, you must ensure that your sql server also is accessible from where you are
