Hi all

I have installed Team foundation Server successfully. I have it installed on a server, that sits behind my router at my home. I have exposed it to my friend and co worker, so that he can checkin and checkout stuff.

I have enabled port forwarding on my router so that the calls are routed to the right machine within my network. I dont have a static ip and for now we are using the ip address. We were planning to use some software like no-ip to overcome the issue of not having a static ip.

My friend, successfully managed to connect to the Team Foundation Server web site on port 8080, but when he was trying to create a project through Team Explorer, his call failed saying

"Unable to connect to the specified SQL Server Reporting Services at <server name>"

Hi all,

I found that the Sharepoint Site on port 80 which hosts the SQL Server Reporting web services, is in fact up and running and I can successfully access it from the local box and from any box that is in my network.



How ever I am not able to access the share point site from outside my netwrok. Upon further investigation, it turns out that my ISP (and seems like most if not all ISP's) block the access to port 80, if you dont have a static ip.

So my question is, Can i reconfigure the Sharepoint installation to point to a different port, say 9090 and get everything in Team foundation server to work? I am willing to do a complete re install of everything, if needed, including Team Foundation Server if necesssary if I can get Share point and there by the Reporting Services to be hosted on a port other than 80.

Hi arjkhanna,



You can accomplish what you are trying to do by first manually installing SharePoint on the desired server /port. Then install TFS and point it to use an existing Sharepoint server (as opposed to the default of letting the installer create Sharepoint). See the section "Choosing a Deployment for SharePoint Products and Technologies" in the TFS install guide for these steps.
