Created attachment 139381 [details] what I observed
You do not need to attach text comments, you can write directly into the comments area. Actually, I do not understand much what did you do and what do you expect. Did you use the Attach Debugger dialog? If yes, what options did you select?
You didn't look at the comments, and just closed it without doing any work. Your system seems to have messed up the description, but the comments are complete.
Comment on attachment 139381 [details] what I observed >I did a wirefish dump of a remote debug attach during an attach attempt, at the IP interface of the machine containing the Ide. I got no packets originating to the server port (remote jvm) requested, actually no activity whatsoever on the IDE side. A telnet to that port worked well enough to show an error on the server side. Why dosen't the IDE attempt a connection? > >jdb seems to be able to connect > >Version is 7.3.1 Confused

I've read what you wrote, but I did not understand much what was the problem. Since I was busy with other issues, I forgot to reply to your direct e-mail, I'm sorry. You wrote: I chose socket connection to the correct host. What the bug is about is choosing that dialog with a socket connection should have initiated a packet out the Ethernet interface connecting to the net that connects to the host running the remote JVM in socket server mode. I saw none. With both telnet and JDB, I saw packet activity on the interface. With JDB is was able to connect to the remote JVM. I assume there is some configuration needed to get Netbeans to do the connect, but the examples on the net I could find say it should work. Do have direct connection between the two hosts, or is one behind a firewall? If you're behind a firewall, do you have proxy settings set correctly in NetBeans IDE? Can you please look into Output -> Debugger Console? It should contain something like "Attaching to <host name>:<port>" followed by some error message.
This looks as a similar problem to issue #237184. When the connection fails, a debug message is printed into messages.log file. That may help to identify the issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 237184 ***
