Hi everyone,

I'm quite new on MonoTouch, so please forgive me my question in doubt... ;-)

I need help with the soft-debugger, because it's not connecting to the App on the device. While with iPhone Simulator everything is working as expected, the following happens when I start debugging against my device:

The is uploaded and installed to the device.
MonoDevelop comes up with a window saying the following: "Waiting for debugger to connect on 127.0.0.1:10000..." Please start the application on the device"
When starting the app on the device, the device vibrates indicating that the debugger is not connected....

In the settings of my App on the iPhone I have set the IP-Adress to my Mac's IP.

My iPhone is connected via WIFI to my network. I can ping my Mac from my iPhone and vice versa.

In several screenshots where the debugger was obviously working I saw that the debugger came up with the Mac's IP address and not the 127.0.0.1....

Do I have to configure my IP-address somewhere in MonoDevelop?

BTW: I'm using the latest version of MonoDevelop - it's 2.4.1

I have tried anything.... re-installing MonoDevelop, cleaning up the project several times, setting up a new project.... nothing...

Please, please help....
