Error 28804. Setup cannot connect to the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services report server…

Getting of this error is possible, when you are installing the Team Foundation Server (TFS) at computer with several active IP addresses, including external IP (if present).To resolve it you have to:

  1. Either disable all but one network adapter, which is your local network adapter, while installing TFS.
  2. Or check what you can access your SQL Server by all IPs (127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.x and external IP too).
  3. Change the IP address of the report server in IIS Manager to match the machine name IP Address.

and retry the installation.
