  OK I'm probably being dense here. Installation is a single server with reporting services, sharepoint, SQL all running. I can get to the relevant pages.

I'm logged in using the tfssetup account (tried als ...Show All

• Pathy Trouble getting Team Explorer in VS 2005 RC1 installation.

  I have installed TFS Beta 3. When I installed VS2005 RC1 on the server machine, it has Team Explorer. But when I did what I actually wanted to do, which was install RC1 on a different machine, it lacks the Team Explorer, connect to team foundation server menu item, etc. Based on older posts on this forum, I installed the Team Foundation Client from the TFS Beta 3 bits to see if this "plugged in" the missing items.

  Hi Foundation Server is installed (single deployment) on a computer behind a firewall that only allows http 80. As SharePoint services are on port 80, TFS is automatically assigned to por 8080.

My idea was to change the ip (in IIS ) assigned to the TFS web service and then change the port to 80, still havein sharepoint and SQL on the old ip. It is possible to connect to the server in ...Show All
