Replying to my own post...
I've done a bit more experimentation. After reading an archived
posting by Norman Palardy which indicated that there is a known issue
with the IDE and remote debugging on machines with multiple NICs, I
disabled all but my primary ethernet interface, and was then able to
work with the Remote Debugger Stub on my internal network.
But, I continued to run into the same problem I described when I
tried it over the internet. Still thinking that it must be a firewall
issue, I connected my IDE machine (with internal firewall turned off)
directly to the internet, and turned off the firewall on the remote
machine (already connected directly to the net).
With no firewall on either end, the problem persists. The connections
on port 44455 seem to work fine. The IDE senses the stubs presence,
builds the executable, and transfers it. The stub launches the debug
build, which then raises the runtime error 7 because it cannot
connect back to the IDE.
So my question now is a bit narrower - has ANYBODY successfully used
remote debugging from Mac to Mac over the internet?
Thanks,
Peter

I am trying to do some remote debugging over the internet. I am
using RB2006r3. Both IDE and stub side are Mac OS X - 10.4.7 on the
IDE, and Server 10.4.6 for the stub.
After configuring both firewalls/routers, I quickly got it to
connect, and transfer the compiled app to the target machine, but
as the stub attempts to launch the app, it gives a runtime error 7
- and reports that it was unable to connect back to the debugger.
I figured that this was a firewall configuration issue, and we beat
our heads against the wall for a bit, but to no avail. I then
decided to try it out locally between two machines on the same
network - no firewalls involved - and I get exactly the same result!
The remote debugger stub was downloaded today from the RS site, so
it is presumably not out of date. I notice, however, that its
creation date is 9/26/05, which seems a bit old, though perhaps not.
Is anyone successfully remote debugging from Mac to Mac with r3? If
so, what is the modification date of your stub. Mine is 1,785,161
bytes in size.
Any other suggestions or ideas?
Thanks,
