Debugging on Web Server Error - VS2003

I keep getting an "error when trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on web server. You do not have permission to debug on the server. Verify that you are a member of the 'debugger users' group on the server"

This is extremely irritating as I really need to debug a web app. I have tried and checked everything the help provides. I have even reinstalled my whole notebook from OS up.

I am running Windows XP pro SP2, VS.NET 2003 Enterprise Architecht. I use the local IIS installation for testing and dev. After reinstalling everything worked fine for a day before I got the error again. I reinstalled IIS again and aspnet_regiis /i again. Checked the group permissions, asigned a user acount to asp_wp. Nothing works. Any suggestions

I also tried the suggetions in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;en-us;896861. This did not work either. Neither does disabeling the firewall.

Petya
Thanx Jeremy

I've tried that as well. Checked that ASPNET account is admin as well as in debuggers and VS Developers. My account also member of all.

No luck yet...

Try making sure that the site is running in Windows Authenticated mode, and not Anonymous mode. Also check what groups your logon account is in - mine's in Local Admins and Debugger Users.

Hi!

Thanks for asking! I'm a member of the ASP.NET team, and was just popping over here to see what was going on. The best place to ask ASP.NET questions is over on the ASP.NET forums at http://www.asp.net/welcome.aspx tabindex=1&tabid=39

HTH,
