VS Remote debugging OMG

It really shouldn't be this difficult... I spent a couple days trying to get this running and finally, boom it's on!
The remote machine did not have a firewall running for us.
Start the debugger on the remote machine, you will see the name and who it is running as.

We had rules set up for inbound and outbound specifically for Devenv.exe after removing all rules then following the above like things magically worked.

Note: When connecting to the remote machine w/ VS make sure you enter credentials if necessary like /username@machine eg ucn/rob.ling@eng-ngpcl07

Problems we had: remote debugger would show that the connection was being made but then our VS connection would time out. I think this was fixed by adding the UDP rule.

And this is fun.
