Title Body

I'm running different versions of our application on Sun's open source VirtualBox , is it possible to remote debug the app from the host OS with Visual Studio? The problem is that in Visual Studio when I want to attach to a remote machine I have to enter either a computer name or IP and the IP I get from within the virtual box isn't pingable from the host machine. I'm primarily interested in debugging native code (so I can run with no authentication) but if there's a way to debug managed code too please let me know. I should note that the host OS is Vista and the guest is XP. Thanks to Mark I got things working, I'll note all the steps I had to take for future reference: Change the VM network from NAT to Bridged Adapter (have to power off the VM first) In the guest OS change the default security setting to Classic - local users authenticate as themselves as described here : Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy Local Policies -> Security Options Change Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts to Classic - local users authenticate as themselves Reboot guest OS Disabled the firewall on the guest OS If msvsmon can't do it by itself firewall.cpl
