The manual section at http://wingware.com/doc/debug/remote-debugging is 
the place to start.  It does gloss over some of the network setup issues 
that are often involved when the two machines are separated by one or 
more firewalls and/or traffic goes over the open network.  In this case 
we recommend the use of a secure tunneling mechanism, such as ssh. 
Examples of programs that will do this include openssh and PuTTY.

Please let us know what's confusing in the manual.

Thanks,

John
