I am using Microsoft Visual Studio debugger to debug a remote application. These are the steps I have done

  1. I have taken the x86 version of the msvsmon.exe in the remote machine (which has 32 bit OS) where the application to be debuggedis running. I have started the exe with the options No authentication and Allow any user to debug.
  2. In Visual studio I set Debug option as Win32, go to Tools and Attach the process. I give the IP, choose the transport type as remote and try to start the debugger. However, I am getting the following error message —
    Unable to connect to ‘MyMachine’. The Microsoft Visual studio Remote debugging monitor is either not running on the remote machine or is running in windows authentication mode.

I have checked the firewall settings. Please help if you have any idea as to what could be the issue.

    If you are debugging native code then run the remote debugger in no-authentication mode. MSDN has notes here. Note that you have to connect to the remote debugger quickly (within 30 seconds) in this mode, otherwise it times-out.
