[xdebug-general] Tracing Related Functions

I have a XDebug.so module running on a local area network-based Debian server. It shows up in phpinfo() like it is supposed to.

Is it necessary for there to be a 'connection' back to a XDebug client running on my dev system (Win XP) or will these functions run stand-alone ? My php code seems to hang when it gets to the 'xdebug_start_trace' function. It seems to me that if this function is writing to the server where the code is running, that it would NOT need a connection back to the dev system. I use TextPad for editing, and Filezilla FTP to access the Debian server, so no php code is running on the dev system.

void xdebug_start_trace(string trace_file [, integer options]) (Xdebug 2)

void xdebug_stop_trace() (Xdebug 2)

Also, will the linux 'xdebug.so' connect to the simple xdebug client that I can run on my Win XP system ?? I've tried this, with the 'browser start' method, and never get a connection. I have gotten a connection when I've run the php code on my Win system with the simple debug client running, but this is NOT how the software system is going to be used
