Just found the answer. It's because "Cisco AnyConnect Web Security Agent" was running on my machine. I turned it off and now the TFS plugin is working.

Question
We have the TFS server installed and running at http://myhost:8080/tfs/web/
.
I've installed the Eclipse TFS plugin and updated Eclipse to 4.2
However, when I try to add a TFS server in the Team Explorer perspective, I get "The server myhost failed to respond"
How can I get this to work?

OTHER TIPS
Eclipse has some issues with the default proxy detection.
Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Network Connections and set Proxy to anything other than Native.
You can choose Direct, but you'll have issues if you need to perform software updates or installation. Or you can choose Manual and configure your proxy settings manually.
Use the URL of http://myhost:8080/tfs
in your server connection page rather than http://myhost:8080/tfs/web/
?
