Error while setting up kernel-mode debugging in Visual Studio

[George912]

Note: I use Windows 7 64 bit on both host and target machines and Visual Studio 2013.

I'm following this article: "Setting Up Kernel-Mode Debugging over a Network Cable in Visual Studio" to set up kernel-mode debugging. I'm currently at Configuring the host and target computer section. At the first window that shows up after clicking DRIVER > Test > Configure Computers... in Visual Studio, the Kernel mode debugger settings are:


Transport: Network
Port: 50754
Key: <long, default key, no need to post it>



While running the configuration process, everything is fine, except Configure debugger settings (x64) (screenshoot of the configuration process: imgur com/a/OkWdKVm, I can't post images yet. Let me know if you need the log file, it's about 40 kb).

Also, after running the following commands on the taget machine (as specified in the article later):

bcdedit /dbgsettings

bcdedit /enum

I'm getting

debugtype: Serial (should be NET)
debugport: 1 (should be 50754)

I tried to run the configuration process a few times, but with no luck.

Have you any idea why this error happens? How can I fix it?
