Can't get remote debugging to work

I have two Windows XP machines, connected via ethernet.
On the target machine, I did the "full install" for remote components.
I did the same for the host machine, which probably wasn't needed.

The machines are in the same workgroup and can share folders.

>From the host machine, I created a simple project in a shared directory
on the target machine. The project builds successfully.

I changed the project properties to use remote debugging.

When I try to start debugging, I get an error message stating it can't
find the remote machine.

The help file implies that I should see some selectable option on
the debug processes dialog box, but the fields for debug ("default")
and machine name are not changeable.

Any help would be appreciated.
