Stepping into a web-service method call: first it complained that remote debugging was not set up on the server. So I went all the way to the office on a Saturday and set up remote debugging, and went home and tried again.

Now it complains that the server DNS cannot resolve my client, which is connected via VPN to the office network but not directly to the server hosting the service I wish to debug.

I can ping said server by name, but if I establish a remote desktop session and try to ping my local workstation from the server, I find that remote debugging is quite right, it can't resolve the name of my workstation.

Can anyone suggest a way to sort out this name resolution issue? Apart from hacking the hosts file with whatever IP I've been assigned this session?
