Cannot connect to Microsoft Remote Debug Monitor. A specific security error has occurred

I get the following error when trying to connect to a remote debug monitor running on another PC in our domain:

“Failed to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor with the name ''. A security package error occurred.

In addition, if you look at the remote computer, you can see yourself “connected” in the remote debugger window.

It took us some time to find this solution - I share it in the hope that it will save others from the same problems.

It seems to be related or limited to Windows XP, and it looks like it is also related to your domain settings - albeit exactly as we did not recognize.

The solution was to install this hotfix from Microsoft. You need to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3)

This worked for us on four machines inside the same domain.
