I just had this exact problem. I finally solved the issue by disconnecting from TFS and reconnecting: In Team Explorer (View-Team Explorer), right-click on your TFS server name and click 'Disconnect'. Then click Team-Connect to Team Foundation Server...

I did not have any pending changes when I did this. I would check in your code or at least shelve your changes before doing this to decrease the chance of losing work.

The computer that this happened on had been working fine for over a year, but I guess Visual Studio somehow cached the name as http://servername:8080/tfs/ instead of http://servername:8080/tfs/defaultcollection and disconnecting and reconnecting to TFS reset VS to the correct path of http://servername:8080/tfs/defaultcollection. On my server (and I would guess on everyone's) http://servername:8080/tfs/ and http://servername:8080/tfs/defaultcollection point to the same thing. Raymund's solution didn't work for me - I had the same problem that Brian had with it.
