Remote debugging

[kss1133]

I have started a new job, and have taken over a web site in c#. The problem is that all the files including the .sln file is on the development web server, when I try to run the solution in debug mode I get the following error, "the debugger component on teh server failed to connect to local machine" Can anyone help me out? I have done many google searches and have tried many different things, I have full administrator rights, I am part of the debugger user group, I am also part of the system users. I am trying to open the file for a mapped drive. I am using VS2003 on an xp sp2 machine and the web server is 2003.

Any help would be great.

Does the server have rights to your local machine?

Not sure what you mean? I am an admin of both my machine and the development web server.

It looks like your remote server is trying to access your local computer. If it doesn't have rights then it can't do what it needs.

You may have to setup permissions for the server account to access your computer.

Yes it does have rights, I can get to my local machine from start->run

I had the same problem, my remote server ( Windows 2003) have an integrated firewall software like on windows XP, i stop it and then evrything goes right

Thanks, but that's not the problem. There is no firewall, I am an admin of the machine, I am also part of the system group. I can get to the server from my xp machine and I can get to my xp machine from the server. I just can't figure it out, I can't even manually attach the process, I get the same error when I do. (debugger component on the server failed to connect to local machine.)
I am also in the debugger user goup.

Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions, if you think of anymore keep them coming in.
Thanks,
