Error message: Unable to start debugging on the Web Server....

I'm trying to debug a Web application for the first time and I get this error:
Unable to start debugging on the Web Server. The server does not support debugging of ASP.NET or ATL Server applications. Run setup to install de Visual Studio Net server components. If setup has been run verify that a valid URL has been specified.

I am running Visual Studio Net on Windowas XP professionnal, I installed IIS and I have run the setup again with all the components and I am still getting the same message, I don't know what else to do. I'm new on web applications.
Can somebody help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Do you run your app from the same machine as your development machine?

WHY?
Thanks, I'll try that
Let me know if you still have any problem...
1- I set debug config to True in the web.config file,
2- I am login as administrator
3- I configured my server based on these requirements
4- I am not connecting or debugging the remote server
5- I am not debugging the remote server
6- If you install IIS after VS.NET, you might try to run this again.

yourcddrive:\dotNetFramework\dotnetfx.exe /t:c:\temp
/c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms c:\temp\netfx.msi"

this is the only thing I haven't tried, can you please explain it to me?, please, I don't understand it very well. Thanks.
So do you still have the problem?

dotnetfx.exe is the .NET framework installation program. This is just to reinstall some missing components. However, to make sure that you can debug remotely, using VS.NET installation CD is a fail-safe alternative.
