Not able to access TFS on Windows 10 - visual-studio

I'm trying to reach a TFS server (either via VS2015 or Web) from my Windows 10 dev box with no luck. I keep getting timeout error
This server is on a remote network that I access via VPN.
I've tried on different Win10 boxes, and it is the same problem.
People in the local network (no vpn) also tried on Windows 10 with no luck
If I access the server on a Windows 7 dev box, everything is OK.
I am able to access a different TFS server (located on my domain network) correctly; same port and protocol.
I disabled the computer firewall
Any clue?

Try to use the IP Address such as http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:8080/tfs instead of http://compandyname:8080/tfs

How to rdp from mac to azure vm through vnet gateway

I am trying to rdp from my local mac to an Azure instance through a (IKEv2) vpn connection. I am never prompted for a password, and it looks like the connection just times out. The error code I get is 0x204.
I have tried using both Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 and 10 for mac.
The connection is active and reports that it is connected.
From the mac, I can connect to another VM (in the same azure account) which is not running behind a vpn.
From Parallels Desktop (with networking set to Shared mode and the vpn connection active on the mac), I can successfully connect using the windows rdp client.
So it seems the Microsoft RDP-client for mac is not using the vpn connection.
Is there a way to make it do so?
Is there another solution, that will allow me to rdp to an Azure VM from my mac (without going through Parallels)?
Note: This is not the same question as this, since that is not about going through an azure vnet gateway.
I needed to add hosts file entries for each azure site I needed to access.
For example for accessing my-vm-name.someregion.cloudapp.azure.com, I needed to add a hosts file entry for it's private IP within the subnet. E.g. 10.2.0.100.
The reason everything worked in Windows under Parallels, is that the relevant entries had already been added to the hosts file previously.

iPhone can't connect to fiddler proxy server

I have been debugging my software by connecting an iphone which is on the same network. Then I use fiddler on my desktop/server and set it to Allow Remote Connection (instructions here). I had this configuration working under Windows Server 2012, since I've upgraded my server to Server 2016 I am no longer able to get the phone to connect to the proxy server at xx.xx.xx.xx:8888. I checked "Allowed Apps" in the Windows Firewall but I don't see anything that looks relevant in there.
I am able to connect to the web server I have running on my server 2016 from my phone so they are able to talk to each other. I just can't access the fiddler proxy server.
Fiddler says it is online and appears to be working correctly.
I'm using Fiddler v4.6.20171.7553.
Is there some setting in windows firewall that might be blocking my proxy server connection?
I figured it out. I changed the firewall settings in Windows firewall to ask me if an app was going to be blocked. After restarting fiddler I was prompted and I said yes, allow this app to go through the firewall and then it started working.

Unable to connect to a subversion edge server remotely

I have the following configuration:
Windows 7 Enterprise x64 Host running VMWare Workstation v11.0.0 build 2305329
Client (VM) is Windows Server 2008 r2 x64
Symantec Endpoint Protection client (unmanaged) v12.1.5337.5000
using Collabnet Subversion Edge v5.0.1-4144.7
I can connect to subversion's admin port of 3343/4434 from the host computer, however when attempting to connect to the client from two external servers, I get page cannot be displayed. I can connect to the default web port of 80 and get the default IIS 7 page.
I think this may be a firewall configuration situation, however I have tried opening all tcp/udp ports in both windows firewall rules and SEP rules and I still am unable to connect.
I might be able to get it working if I install TFS on port 8080 and uninstall TFS. But I really would rather not.
Check the Advanced/Profiles section of the firewall rule for "CollabNet Subversion Edge Console". This defaults to Public but you many need Domain and/or Private too.

Windows 7 running as server

I'm developing a program using Windows 7. There are WCF services (soap, rest) that are used by currently by Silverlight but very soon I'll start development of the mobile application that would make use of these services.
On day to day basis I use Mac and Apache to host my website, but during the development of this program I would like to use IIS7 to put my services online. I have absolutely no problems to access all the services via localhost but as soon as I'm trying to connect through the internet I get "The connection has timed out".
I'm sure that my router is configured right as it works perfectly fine when I'm on Mac OS, but it looks like Windows simply blocks incoming connections from outside; I cannot even connect from another computer on the same network.
So is there a way of using Windows 7 as server with IIS7 or is it only possible with Windows Server? I know it might be like enabling/disabling one setting somewhere but I just cannot find it.
Please help.
By default, the Windows 7 firewall doesn't have a port 80 exception for IIS, you will need to either add an exception or disable the firewall to be able to connect from another machine.
Windows has a built-in firewall that is probably blocking the connections. Type "firewall" into the control panel search box to find the settings to allow stuff through/turn it off completely.

IIS 7 and ASP.Net MVC issue

This is a bit complex - so here we go.
I am developing a mobile web application using asp.net mvc and I need to test it locally on my iPhone. So far I have the first iteritaion of the site running on my local dev laptop. I created a virtual dir for the site under IIS 7 on the same machine. I deployed the site to that folder from VS2008. I open a browser and entered "" and the site cam up just fine. I am runnig a home network with locked down WIFI and both the laptip and my iPhone are on the network. So now I want to test with the iPhone but the site won't come up when browsing to "". I have another machine that is also on the network and I get this error message when attempting to browse to the site:
"Website (laptopname) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts"
I have a feeling that this has something to do with IIS setting and \ or application pools but have not been able to find anything relavent goolging. Any help appreciated.
There are some possibilities:
iPhone is not able to resolve your laptop by name. Try using the IP address of your computer in the URL instead.
The firewall on the laptop is blocking inbound connections from other machines. Check your firewall.
The IIS Website is configured with a host header localhost so it won't respond to requests to other hostnames. Check the binding for the Web site in the IIS Manager.
To eliminate possible network issues, you can create an ad hoc WiFi network on your PC and connect to that network to test.
Check that Allow Anonymous Access is set for the site
I suspect you are not alone, as I had this exact problem. I developed a small port opener I called "SharpProxy" that may make your local testing much easier.
