Why WinDbg does not reconnect after target computer reboot?


I was Setting Up KDNET Network Kernel Debugging Automatically to provision a computer for driver deployment and testing in order to Write a Hello World Windows Driver (KMDF) and after rebooting my target computer, WinDbg is still waiting to reconnect...

Both my host and target computers have Win10 (x64) I am using Hyper-V, my host computer is the server (local) and my target computer is one of its workstation.

I tried to restart my target computer using shutdown -r -t 0 and followed the procedure to start a WinDbg session with the executable (WinDbg.exe, not the command line option). I also tried to turn off my firewall, but it does not helped.

Any idea?


Solution

  • Fully disabling firewalls on both target and host computers have solved the issue.
