Debugging on the server is not the standard modus operandi. Local development
with test on a centralized server is the norm. You then keep code in
conjunction by using a code repository, like SourceSafe.

Remote debugging has been a bear since the ASP days, if not earlier. I am
not sure why you, in particular, are having a problem, but I would recommend
moving to local development, if possible. Even if you get the problem fixed,
you will find that only one developer can debug at a time and any hits to the
pages while you debug will fire off the debugger. Plus, it is far too easy to
break a build when everyone is dinking around with the same code base on the
same server.
