I have had to do this many times when I have something in my action
code that causes a compilation failure, but otherwise haven't had any
problems.  Do you get the timeout the very first time that you attempt
to run the debugger after a fresh application restart?

So you went into preferences and set the port to 49100?

Yes, localhost implies the local computer, which doesn't usually have
ports blocked.

I'm not sure what OS you're on, but what port(s) does netstat show
ANTLRWorks is using?
