Connecting to SharePoint intranet site with designer error

Error message is:

The Web server at "http://bruce" does not appear to have Microsoft SharePoint Foundation installed.

Versions of SharePoint and SP Designer are 2013, and it's running SharePoint Server 2013.

It actually has, and I've also tried this and this was already done as well, and enabling SharePoint Designer on SharePoint settings on the site.

So I'm pretty stuck with this. Any advice/help is appreciated. Thanks.

Try enabling web integration (central admin, web app, Default and select 'enable client integration')

Also add the site to your trusted sites, using IE sign-in to the SharePoint site and then open SPD by using Site Settings -> Edit in SharePoint Designer.

Sometimes when my laptop is not member of the network I'm on. I also have to add the url to my Windows 'hosts file'. But this is more a networking / proxy issue rather than SharePoint.
