Access to the VSTS Hosted demos

Thanks, we'll look into it. -Ajay

I tried accessing this from my home yesterday and I managed to access the demos, but did get a warning message about something not being able to be authenticated (didnt get all the details).

I am wondering if this is a problem with out corporate firewall which will not allow the connection because it causes a security risk.

After completing the registration, and clicking "Click here to enter the Virtual Lab", you'll see the registration form one more time in a new window. Just keep clicking through and you'll get into the lab.

Rob thanks for the response, but I think I am further than this point in the process. I get to the point where the lab has been built and I am asked to enter the lab. When I click to enter the lab I get a new window and eventually just to 2 words 'No Connection' in the middle of the new window (not in a message box or anything)

Im still having no joy accessing the labs

I have not had an answer to this as yet which is a shame.

If you try to access the hosted demos now you do at least get a little more information from the help menu if you get 'No connection'. I have passed the information onto our security/firewall team and I hope to get a resolution, but at present they are saying that the connection method cannot be allowed for security reasons and are checking out other potential solutions with Microsoft.
