I have Visual Studio 2008 Team System installed on my work machine. I use it to work for an offisite clients Team Foundation Server 2008.

Yesterday it stopped working. E.G. I couldn't connect to TFS.

On my machine I have updates disabled, I have the firewall disabled and have a proper working connection to my clients server.

The client didn't change anything on its machine.

What are the possible reasons the visual studio couldn't find the TFS server.

Note: Other members of my team can connect without problems, and I've checked we have the same configurations).
