Installing Team Foundation Server

I've come across a problem while installing TFS on Windows Server 2003.

Error 28925. TFServerStatusValidator:Calling the Team Foundation Server ServerStatus Web service failed.

Google has been some help (looks like this error has occurred often before) but I've still not found the solution.

I can access the webservice fine in a web browser (Localhost and the domain name in the path) and as far as I can see nothing else is running on port 8080 in IIS.

The other posts mention comparing DNS entries on the network, but I'm installing it all locally as a trial run so I'm not sure where to set that up... and if it's the problem either.

Has anyone got some advice, or the solution for me?
