* using host-only to communicate real computer to virtual box host

Help me please,, and show me the right configuration for visualddk & virtualbox

Make sure that you can ping the VM from the host. I had to setup the host-to-VM networking stuff so that the VM could communicate with the host. Make sure firewalls are off or have the right ports open, in the VM the make sure the visuallDDK app is running as admin.

Hope this helps a little

This problem is not related to network communication (pinging & etc).
Did you install the VBoxDD.DLL file from VisualDDK according to installation instructions (http://virtualkd.sysprogs.org/#installation)?

Tanks for suggestion bazis,,,

I’ve rename vboxdd.dll to vboxdd0.dll in virtual box directory and I’ve copied the vboxdd.dll from visualddk to virtualbox directory, but still problem…

Ok, did you run the VMINSTALL.EXE on the VM? Did you select the “Windows [VirtualKD]” as the operating system to boot on the VM?

I’ve installed on the target host vminstall.exe, and I was booting with the way the above…

but still problem…. 😥

Please try debugging using WinDbg+VirtualKD (start VMMON.EXE or VMMON64.EXE, select your VM, select the correct OS instance, press “Run Debugger” from VMMON).
If the WinDbg debugging fails as well, double-check your VM settings and VirtualKD installation.
If WinDbg debugging works, but VisualDDK still fails, ensure that the correct VM name is specified and that you are not running WinDbg while connecting from VisualDDK.
Anyway, feel free to post here after you try WinDbg.
