Hi, I know this has been addressed before but I'm running into a problem where I suddenly can't run the debugger on anything in Eclipse.  It will always pop up a message saying it can't connect to the VM because the socket is not found.  The usual advice is to disable the firewall but that isn't working for me.  Any help would be appreciated!

java.net.SocketException: socket closed
	at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method)
	at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(Unknown Source)
	at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(Unknown Source)

	at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.launching.StandardVMDebugger$ConnectRunnable.run(StandardVMDebugger.java:107)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on any .java file
2. Try to Run the debugger
3.

I have to ask, but are you absolutely sure there is no firewall / AV / etc. solution interfering? Do you get any other entries in the log? Do you have any problems connecting to other services that use ports/sockets?

If you log in as Administrator can you debug?
