I am sorry for this simple question but I can't figure it out

Here is what I have done so far. I am trying to put some breakpoints in the driver code.

Since this is kernel debugging I read that two computers are required so I could attach to the kernel process.

Using VMWare I set up another computer which would be the target computer

Host is my computer from where I intend to launch Visual studio and attach to the target. Target is on VMWare where I have driver installed and intend to print. But this is not working. All I have on the host says

Opened \\.\pipe\com2
Waiting to reconnect...

Even when I click print on the target nothing changes on the host and no breakpoints are hit. It still says waiting to reconnect

2) Also if I installing the driver on the target machine how do I maintain the same version on host and target so symbols are loaded. Doesn't Visual studio recompile code on host machine everytime I reattach a process



Thank you
