Say, you want to debug c:\app.exe on your XP pro (A) but the symbols for
app.exe are on XP home (say B) with sharing path \\B\\symbols. Then you can
use following command line to get symbols from B. Note you need to call
symchk under debugger folder.
C:\Debuggers>symchk c:\app.exe /s \\B\symbols

Here is my result:
//------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Debuggers>symchk e:\FileIcon.exe /s \\symserv\TestSymSrv

SYMCHK: FAILED files = 0
SYMCHK: PASSED + IGNORED files = 1
//--------------------------------------------------------------

If there is anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks,

No, my question was how do I get the OS symbols for the other machine from a
symbol server such as msdl.microsoft.com\download\symbols...As you may
remember I've been going crazy trying to get symbols to download from the
server correctly.

Because when I do !process (see the other question: !process) I get a error
msg.

If you set symbol path on your host machine then debugger will
find symbols automatically.

There are several ways of setting symbol path (using an environment
variable, a command line option, GUI, etc). See the docs for details.

Hi Larry,
This should be the same problem you met in "Symbol Server error: Just how
am I supposed to fix this?".
I think Jason means "windbg /n /k" in the command line. Could you try it
and post your result in thread "Symbol Server error: Just how am I supposed
to fix this?" please?

Thanks for your understanding.
