Remote Debugging .net

Question

Guys,

I've read all related remote debug entries here and couldn't find an answer to my problem. I've trying to setup remote debugging to test a console app. Dev Machine - Vista, VS 2008 Remote Machine - Win 2008

I've followed the steps in this article to configure it and I'm stuck with the following error when I try to list processes in remote machine under 'Attach to Process'.

"The remote procedure call failed and did not execute".

But in my remote machines 'Remote Debug Monitor' I see that the dev machine connection was established.

Can anyone provide me with any clues?

Answer 1

Whenever I run into this problem the first thing I do is disable the firewall on both computers. Firewall problems are the most common issue I run into with remote debugging and it's best to eliminate that problem from the start.

Do take care to turn the firewall back on when you're done diagnosing the problem :).
