How is remote debugging allowed on Microsoft SQL Management studio?
This question might be misunderstood. I am not sitting at the computer where Microsoft SQL Management studio resides and I am attempting to debug a remote database. That is not the issue I am having at all. Instead, I have remoted into a client's server by their request and also I am trying to debug an issue they are having. You see, this is how things are evolving in our world. More and more there are situations where a developer is working from home and has to remote into a client's system do get some work done.
When I open up their studio software on their side, if I try to debug or execute a command, I get this error message:

I want to be able to instruct them, on their side, what they need to do to make this problem go away. Please advise.

So, I gather from this is that perhaps it is up to me to add to the Windows Firewall exception list:
"The Visual Studio program, Devenv.exe" and "TCP port 135" albeit I am not running Visual Studio. But I am assuming it can't hurt if I do this.
So, the question is: How do I do this?
I am not experienced with working with firewalls. I do not know how to add firewall exceptions. When I look for applicable system programs, a number of thems seem available. Can anyone guide me?
