Unable to connect to the Microsoft Remote Debugging Monitor. A security package specific error occurred

I'm getting the following error when trying to attach to a remote debugging monitor running on another PC on our domain:

"Unable to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor named ''. A security package specific error occurred."

In addition, if you look on the remote machine you can see yourself as "connected" in the remote debugger window.

It took us a while to find this solution - I share it in the hope it saves others the same hassle

It seems to be related or limited to Windows XP and it seems to be also related to the settings on your domain - although exactly how we did not find out.

The solution was to install this Hotfix from Microsoft. You will need to have Windows XP Service Pack 3 installed

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