I'll start with the error I'm getting, then work on how I arrived at it.
"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging. The machine cannot be found on the network"
let me briefly say that I've debugged a LOT of C++ code this way in the past, it's just been a while and this is the first time trying with VB (I have, and am still searching the web for answers and if I find, I'll post)
I'll refer to the machine that I'm remoting to as REMOTE1 and my machine with the IDE and compiler as LOCAL1
First, I copied msvcmon.exe msvcr71.dll NatDbgDM.dll and NatDbgTLNet.dll to REMOTE1 and executed the command "msvcmon -anyuser -tcpip" on REMOTE1
I then created a simple vb time program on LOCAL1 and copied time.exe to c:\temp\time.exe on REMOTE1
I then set the properties of the time project, configuration proerties/debug/
start external program [ c:\temp\time.exe ]
start options/working directory [ c:\temp ]
selected [x] Use remote machine [ REMOTE1 ]
[x] unmanaged code debugging is checked (default)
when I hit, on LOCAL1, RUN DEBUG, it says the error
"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging. The machine cannot be found on the network"
And yet, I can ping REMOTE1, I can access it via \\REMOTE1
I've even tried it's IP address too.. to no avail. Anyone have more experience and can slap me up the head with a couple of DUHs!
thanks for reading this far and for any time you might spend looking at this
