visual studio remote debugging - can't find the computer in the same domain

I've installed Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2012 on a remote computer in the same domain.
I can ping and telnet connection to the defined port.

I'm trying to find the server when I open the "attached to process" dialog and the VS doesn't find it. (I tried entering both its IP and Name)

Any idea?

Solution

  • I faced same issue. I was pressing on "Find..." button and there searching for the computer, that always gave me "Found 0 connection". It looks like a VS2012 bug.

    However when I've entered computer name (IP address also worked for me) and port in the "Qualifier" field and then pressed "Refresh" button far below - only then the connection was established and the list of processes was displayed.

    The format of the text in the "Qualifier" field was COMPUTER-NAME:PORT (e.g. WIN2012-TEST:4016) as well as IP-ADDRESS:PORT (e.g. 192.168.1.1:4016), both worked. The port was the one that is displayed in the Tools -> Options of the Remote Debugging Monitor running on the target machine.
