I was having no issues for months and suddenly I get this error about 90% of the time that I try to check in or out a file or add a project:

Cannot contact the Visual SourceSafe Internet Web Service or cannot access the specified database.
The server returned the following error: Unspecified error (0x80004005)

I'm using Visual SourceSafe 2005 and SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio 2008 / Visual Studio 2008. It's only happening with one of the two projects we have set up this way. I'm running Windows XP.

When I open the project from VSS, it prompts for a password and loads the project. I just can't check in or out. Also, I'm able to access http://ipaddress/SourceSafe/VssService.asmxwith no issues.

Plug-in is Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (Internet). We do not use SSL to connect.

Again, this is happening about 90% of the time. 10% of the time is business as usual. The two other people who access this project arein another office in a different city and don't have this problem, though I access this project more than they do. I'm not sure if it's my computer or the network or what. I went for months not getting this error and now it's been happening intermittentlyfor the last 3 weeks. Nothing has changed as far as we can recall.
