RemoteDebug to WinXP on VirtualBox

[Richard_Duke]

Hi, i am using VirtualBox to test my application on winXP and i don’t seem to be connect to that virtual machine from my Mac OSX 10.8.5. I check the virtual machine ip is 10.0.2.15 , so i used the same ip on the config page for Run Remotely.

Richard, you also have to set the interface popup to match : in this case set it to 10.0.2.x
I’m assuming that this mac has more than one interface, since that’s how Parallels and Fusion handle networking by default. I’ve never used VirtualBox though…

I did set it on the remote debug desktop on the windows side and the XOJO IDE side

Remote Debugging

I had problems in getting remote debugging work with Parallels.
Eventually I found following:

After disabling the Firewall in Windows 7, I was able to get a connection and run the Remote Debugger.
I found out that my network was set as Network and not as a Home or a Public network.
Network had turned on the Home AND the Public firewall.
This combination blocked the Remote Debugger.
After I had changed the network to Home network, I was able to run the Remote Debugger.

Maybe this can help you in solving your Remote Debugging problem.

i try it on my Win7 on VirtualBox and it is still having the same problem. i disable firewall too. i even set it to Home.

For debugging the debugger, it’s handy to run DebugView from microsoft : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx

The remote debugger outputs useful log messages.

i already using DebugView on Windows and Console on the Macs.

I manage to get it to work finally on both my WinXP and Win7 and Win8 VM. Thanks everyone.
