DOCERR: Remote Debugging with TCP/IP Isn't Supported on Win32s

Last reviewed: October 6, 1997
Article ID: Q139026

The information in this article applies to:

The Integrated Debugger included with: - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, 32-bit Edition, versions 4.0, 4.1,
```
     4.2
```

When MSVCMON is run in a Win32s system, you will not see the TCP/IP protocol as an option for connection. The TCP/IP communication layer for MSVCMON is written for true 32-bit platforms and requires multi-threading support to operate. Because of this, the remote debug monitor (MSVCMON) does not support TCP/IP on Win32s. It only supports a serial connection for remote debugging. This information should be added to your Visual C++ 4.x documentation.
