Help...
I'm running a web test that I haven't run in a little while and for some reason now I get the following error message:
Failed to Queue Test Run 'jxl0575@MCSD-DEV 2006-03-18 22:03:58' with id {d5e8f11b-2792-4d81-94c5-3ba41d614c65}: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
This is a single web test that does a series of pre-determined steps. It is not data driven. The test never even begins. This error occurs and the test is aborted. However, the message itself tells me nothing about the problem. The website being tested is on the local host (project deployment default).
The website runs, IIS is running and SQL Server (where the site gets its' data from) is running as well. I have no clue how to diagnose or fix this. Even when selecting pause before starting test, it never gets so far as getting to the start of the test.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds highly likely that the version mismatch is the problem. We did not test for this scenario, nor do we support it. I would not be surprised at all if we (or the .NET framework) made some incompatible changes between the two versions.

A little more information. After a bit of fooling around, I realized that this error didn't start occuring until after I had set the Controller to Remote for some load tests I was preparing to run (instead of using local). However, on the remote machine (which I could ping in less than 1ms) there were no problems indicated and both the controller and agent (installed on the same machine) were running fine. Version wise I was running the release candidate on the remote machine and the Team Suite release on the local machine. I hope the incompatibility isn't an issue as I need this to work for another week or so.

A few things to check. If you open the Adminster Test Controller dialog from the Test menu, does it show the agents as being ready
Also, turn on logging for the controller and agent services as well as VS. Here is post for enabling logging for agent and controller:

To turn on logging for VS do the following:
1) Open the devenv.exe.config. This is located in "\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE"
2) Paste the following xml in the file:
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4">
<listeners>
<add name="myListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="c:\devenv.log" />
</listeners>
</trace>
<switches>
<!-- You must use integral values for "value". Use 0 for off, 1 for
error, 2 for warn, 3 for info, and 4 for verbose. -->
<add name="EqtTraceLevel" value="4" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>
3) Save file, open VS and run test
