Visual SourceSafe 2005 Internet Web Service not working - Error (0x80072EFD)

Problem:

so i've been trying to use visual sourcesafe's internet web service to connect to my server computer from the clients and access the database that contains
all the source code to our solution. I get the following error:

Cannot Contact the Visual SourceSafe Internet Web Service or cannot access the specified database. The server returned the following error: 
A connection with the server could not be established (0x80072EFD)

The LAN plugin works perfectly for the people in the building, but when we tried to switch to the internet plug-in we keep getting that error.
The SourceSafe administrator server properties are already properly configured to accept both LAN and Internet support using our static ip
with out the use of SSL. The property in Visual Studio 'always use SSL to connect to web services' is also unchecked.

Solution:

If you use Visual Studio 2005, you can use Tools/Options menu, select the SourceControl/Plug-in Selection page in the options tree, and in the combobox select the "Microsoft Visual SourceSafe(internet) " to "Microsoft Visual SourceSafe"  plugin, like in the picture below:

Now the functionality works.
