visual studio .net debugging: I am working in a development environment that has a server running small
business server that hosts a site I would like to debug directly. I need to
use the server as a development environment and would like to use my
workstation (with VS2005) to work directly with the site on the server. I
can map a drive to it, open the site, build it and the site works fine just
browsing to it, but I get an error page when I try to debug/run (F5) it
through VS2005 on my workstation. From what I have read it seems that this
is possible. I ran/installed the remote debugging tool on the server (the
one on the VS2005 dvd). Following is the error message I get when the
browser window opens;

Server Error in '/WebSite4' Application.

Hi Brassica,

Please check following things:

* Is FrontPage Server Extension installed on the 2003 Server?
* How's the firewall setting on both sides?
* Make sure you have required permission on the server.

We recently summarized possible issues when remote debugging ASP.NET in
following KB:

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I am slowly working through these issues. It is working fine if
I am logged in locally and access my web server. When I try to do it through
the VPN it still is giving me problems.
