New Team Project Creation

I’ve got Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh all set up on a Virtual Server called “TeamSystem” that is not part of my domain (and I’m willing to hear that THAT is possibly the problem).< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Whenever I try to create a team project, it gets pretty far but fails when it needs to contact the SharePoint Services. Here’s the exception:

---begin Exception entry---

Time: 11/27/2005 6:07:21 PM

Module: Engine

Event Description: TF30162: Task "SharePointPortal" from Group "Portal" failed

Exception Type: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.PcwException

Exception Message: Unable to connect to the Windows SharePoint Services at TeamSystem

Exception Details: The Project Creation Wizard was not able to connect to the Windows SharePoint Services

at TeamSystem. The reason for the failed connection cannot be determined at this time.

Because the connection failed, the wizard was not able to complete creating

the Windows SharePoint Services site.

Stack Trace:

   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.WssSiteCreator.Execute(ProjectCreationContext context, XmlNode taskXml)

   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.ProjectCreationEngine.TaskExecutor.PerformTask(IProjectComponentCreator componentCreator, ProjectCreationContext context, XmlNode taskXml)

   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.ProjectCreationEngine.RunTask(Object taskObj)

I was wondering if anyone knew exactly HOW Visual Studio tries to talk to SharePoint services so that I can maybe figure out why it’s not able to contact it.

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Russ
