Visual Studio TFS Server Not working 

Have you ever wondered how to resolve TFS Server not working correctly, please read till end to solve.

As a developer, when you work on daily basis, there might be a chance you would have worked with Fiddler Tool to capture .Net request/response from server that was required to add default proxy to machine.config file 

Solution 
Remove the <system.net> tag from machine.config file and try connecting TFS Server.
