Connecting to TeamServer

I recently installed the TeamServer Beta 2 on a Win 2003 Server SP1 machine. Everything went fine with the install and I did not receive any errors. I installed the client as well as the server. The only thing I didn't do during the setup was put in a From email and an SMTP because I didn't know them at the time. I now have two issues:

1. When I try to connect to TeamServer from the Visual Studio 2005 Beta2 client, while logged on as a domain admin on the server, I get an error telling me that I can't connect and to see my administrator.
2. I need to know how to add the From email and SMTP now that I have completed the install.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same issue and had to redo the installation. You MUST and I mean MUST follow the installation word for word. On my second installation, I was able to login.

    Hi Scott,
    Did you try to connect using setup account (default is tfssetup)

    Please check the Event Log. I suspect you might see some error entries from "W3SVC" service. Please provide all the error entries in Event Log and I can investigate the problem.

    Try pinging the server. For ex, say your server name is "TFSSVR". Try:

    ping TFSSVR

    IF it works, try this:

    telnet TFSSVR 8080

    If you see a blank screen, then you are connected. Otherwise your IIS is not accepting connection.
