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

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

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.

Windows XP installation after Vista problems

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

I think most of us have been already played with Vista operation system.

Someone likes it, someone have a negative experience with it. This article will be for second ones.

Yes. Vista looks nice, but has a lot of compatibility issues. Such issues
related to hardware drivers problems or applications running problems. I had no possibility to allow working my ATI Radeon 1950XT graphics card with ATI drivers (it could work with MS drivers, but only as 1900 family card). My favorite video player - GomPlayer - does not work, no Java applications work stable and some more problems.

I’ve played with Vista during trial period and have decided to turn back
Windows XP. The system drive had been reformatted and XP installed. After the XP installation I had some troubles with system stability until I’ve not fixed the MBR - Master Boot Record. Now XP works fine for me.
