Error connecting to TFS Server from client Server

PRoblem

when connect to TFS server from Visual studio 2008 to Team foundation server, we get the below error



---------------------------Microsoft Visual Studio---------------------------

Error
Team Foundation Server USNBKU183P does not exist or is not accessible at this time.
Technical information (for administrator):


HTTP code 407: Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. )

Solution

This problem is due to the proxy settings in IE. Please check the settings in the IE in the client machine.

Open IE (tools -> options -> connections -> lan settings) and change the proxy settings. Restart Visual studio and this worked for me.
