When I run Visual Studio 2012 on win2012 machine, everything works perfect. I can check-in, check-out changes, i can go to web access(http://win2012:8080/tfs)

From Desktop PC (Win8, VS2012) I can not connecto to TFS.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

It is most likely the windows firewall.

I would suggest you add the port in question and application to the windows firewall exception rules.

You can quickly test by turning it off but remember to turn it on again once you have tested.

Answer 2

Is it a DNS or WINS issue? Try to ping win2012 from your desktop PC. Maybe you can try use IP to access the TFS by http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/tfs
