VSS 2005 Internet
My problem is that I cannot connect to VSS 2005 using the internet plugin.
When I try to add a project to source control, it asks me for the sourcesafe Database. I setup the URL and the path of the Database correctly, but then, it asks me for the user name and it does not let me continue no matter what user/pass I give.
If I hit cancel I se an error windows saying: "Cannot contact the visualsourcesafe internet webservice or cannot access the specified database. The server returned the following error: Unspecified error (0x80004005)"
I'm sure (almost) I setup everything.
I installed VSS 2005 from the Visual Studio 2005 RC.
I created a database in VSS and created the users. I enabled internet for computer and database.
I gave full permissions to the Database folder to avoid problems.
I can connect correctly using the lan plugin.
I'm missing something?

Aditional information:
I tried to connect from the VSS explorer and I can connect without problems. So, I think it is a problem with Visual Studio. Or, I dont know if VSS explorer is not using the internet instead LAN because I see the shared path on the path column instead the server address.
The error code 0x80004005 is simply E_FAIL; there are many reasons why this error code can be returned.

It seems to me you may have problems authenticating with the server.
I suspect the login dialog you mention is not the VSS login dialog (containing vss username/vss password fields) but instead a logon prompt for the server. If that's true, make sure you use a Windows account/password that are recognized and valid on the server, and that have read/write access to the VSS database. If you don't use SSL you must also have a VSS username in the database matching this Windows account.
