Visual Studio and TFS for Test manager

Question

I have Visual Studio test manager installed in my machine, I have TFS Server installed on another server, I want to connect to that TFS server with new VS 2010. Do I need to install the Visual studio 2010 full version or just the test manager? I installed test manager and its asking a URL to add and I added the one we already have , but its not connecting to that site. Do I need to isntall Full version and TFS on same machine??

Please help

Thanks

No, all you need is Microsoft Test Manager (MTM). You need to make sure that you enter the full URL or just the server name.

If you put in "localhost" you will be connecting to "http://localhost:8080/tfs" so if your server is on a non standard port you may need to enter the full URI.

Try entering "http://localhost/tfs" as it is the most common customisation.
