Answer 1

Switching IIS 7 to Classic pipeline does not resolve your compatibility issues? VS 2005 has a remote debugger, as did many versions before that.

Answer 2

Basically i spent 5 hours making this work, and ultimately if you want a 5 min fix here goes:

1. Port forward incoming traffic to your local ip on your network
TCP Any -> 3127-3128
TCP Any -> 80-81
TCP Any -> 8080
TCP Any -> 8000
TCP Any -> 8888
to
192.1681.1.3 (the local ip of the machine running .NET Dev server.)

2. Download SPI Port Forward

3. Heres the tricky part - Setup 2 forwarding rules as follows:
Local port: 8080 Remote: localhost Remote port 8080
Local port: 8080 Remote: localhost Remote port: .NET Dev server port

Without that second rule the .NET dev server wont serve the page

4. now visit your public IP address at port 8080 -- and you got it

This post helped me: http://staticvoidmain.cognitioab.se/index.php/2013/01/remote-debugging-asp-net-development-server-with-spi-port-forward/ It suggests using a third-party application on your developer machine to act as a proxy (sort of). So you connect to this app, and it forwards all your requests to the development server. Works like magic :)
