Problems with Team Explorer connect to TFS through Internet

Hi.

I have successfully set up the TFS in my local lan. my server name

as "TFSB3R"

however, when I try to connect through Internet

ex: http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/

It work fine to connect with TFS.

but when I right click the Team Explorer to open "Project Portal" or "Reporting Service" or "Source Control"

it will pop up the link as http://tfsb3rxx/ not a internet IP / Domain Name.

I know it would need to config some file or somthing, but the question is

where can I find the config setting and how to config it

some one else has the ideals

please help

Problems with Team Explorer connect to TFS through Internet

    Hi After the tfsreg step I have done above,

    now I have new issues here.

    I need to change the port for Team Fundation Server Web,

    from 8080 to 8517

    I only update it in IIS server, right click and change the Port .

    but after that, all working Item and Source control is not working in Team Explorer

    I dont know where else I can config it.

    from my understanding:

    tfsreg only reg the WSS and Reporting.

    so far those two item works fine for me.

    what about the TFS itself any sample for me

    thanks

    Hi.

    I try to use this approach. so I try the following steps.

    my server orignal naming as "vstsb3r"

    so first, I want it to be access able by ip address; i will start by change the WSS reg first.

    step 1:

    I have create a xml file as:

    <RegistrationEntries>
    <RegistrationEntry>
    <Type>Wss</Type>
    <ChangeType>Change</ChangeType>
    <ServiceInterfaces>
    <ServiceInterface>
    <Name>WssAdminService</Name>
    <Url>http://192.168.1.2:17012/_vti_adm/admin.asmx</Url>
    </ServiceInterface>
    <ServiceInterface>
    <Name>BaseServerUrl</Name>
    <Url>http://192.168.1.2</Url>
    </ServiceInterface>
    <ServiceInterface>
    <Name>BaseSiteUrl</Name>
    <Url>http://192.168.1.2/sites</Url>
    </ServiceInterface>
    <ServiceInterface>
    <Name>BaseSiteUnc</Name>
    <Url>\\vstsb3r\sites</Url>
    </ServiceInterface>
    </ServiceInterfaces>
    </RegistrationEntry>
    </RegistrationEntries>

    step 2.

    I use the command

    "tfsreg myreg.xml vstsb3r"

    it shows "Registration data successfully updated."

    step 3.

    I then go to the VS.NET 2005 with team explorer.

    disconnect any to the team fundation server.

    then reconnect to the server by "192.168.1.2"...... (it works!)

    after that, I right click to show the "Project Portal"....

    it works....
