WinDbg in Winxp

[ootsoo]

HI,

We need a clarification in regards to debugging a device driver in a remote/foreign machine.

We use NULL MODEM CABLE to connect the COM ports of the two machines that run in WinXP. We have checked the NULL MODEM CABLE using 'HYPER TERMINAL' application.

We use "WinDbg" to debug the drivers. The procedure we followed:

1. hve modified the 'boot.ini' in the target machine (where driver is installed).

2. In host machine windbg is initiated with windbg -k option.(also the symbol path and source path are set)

3. as the target machine is rebooted , the host machine is not recognising ..also there is not indication that the target machine is ready to communicate with the host.

any suggestion with diagrams/snapshots for the setup will be very helpful.

Thanks and best regards,

Ootsoo
