remote debugging question

[Barry Bickmore]

Hi everyone,

I am running RB 2006 Release 3 on a new MacBook, and I have never
done remote debugging before, since I only recently upgraded to the
Professional edition. Anyway, now I have Parallels running on my
MacBook, which allows me to run virtual Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux
machines. I have set up the remote debugger stubs on the Mac and the
Windows VM, and I opened the proper ports on the Windows firewall. I
couldn't figure out how to make sure the right ports are open on the
Mac, so I just temporarily shut off the firewall. I have both the
Mac and Windows VM environments running, and the remote debugging
stub is running on Windows. I open a project in the IDE on the Mac,
and set up the remote debugging--it seems to recognize the Windows VM
just fine. However, when I try to remotely debug the project, it
compiles for Windows, says it is transferring the file to the Windows
VM, but as soon as the transfer starts, the remote debugger stub on
the Windows VM says it has an "OutofBoundsException", or something
like that, and says it has to shut down. So then the transfer is
stalled, and if I try to stop the debugging process, the RealBasic
IDE freezes.

Any ideas about what might be going wrong?

Thanks!

Barry

What did you use for your network setup for Parallels ?
I've used it in precisely the way you describe without an issue but
I've set my networking in my Parallels VM to Bridged Ethernet,
Enabled, Connect cable at startup

Same here.

If I don't get any answers here, maybe I'll try re-installing RB
2006. When I started my new Mac up, I had it transfer all my files
and applications from my old Mac, which was not Intel-based. Maybe
some setting somewhere is messed up.
