I am trying to attach a debugger to Netbeans. I have entered localhost for the host name, and 92 as the port. But when I try to step into me app, the localhost connection is refused. I am using:
http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Netbeans/FaqDebuggingRemote
as a reference doc to attach the debugger.
thanks

There is no one "localhost" port, there are lots of them.
The key thing is having a listener running on that port on your local machine.
If you open a command shell and type "netstat -a -b", you'll get to see all the active ports on your machine and the executable that's listening.
Netbeans is an IDE that may or may not have an app server that's hosting your app running inside it. What app server are you running? If it's Tomcat, the usual default port is 8080 for the app. It might be 8888 for debugging. It'll be something else for another app.
See if netstat can help you.
