Error: The Visual Studio Remote Debugger service on the target computer cannot connect back to this computer

I spent a lot of time trying to debug an application running on an embedded device.
My development computer is running Visual Studio 2010 SP1 on Windows XP SP3 and it is on domain.
The target computer is running Windows Embedded 2009 and it is on the default workgroup.
I'm running the Remote Debugging Monitor as application.
According to this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164725.aspx, using local accounts that have the same username and password on both computers the remote debugging should work.
Eventually I'be been able to debug remotely only taking the development computer out of the domain.
