If the IDE is running, the debug server is running as well.

That is the most probable error. Please open the configuration dialog and 
select an appropriate interface to listen on. If just loopback is selected 
(127.0.0.1), the firewall will not interfere (as far as I know). If a real 
network card is used, the firewall might disallow.

Another possible problem could be, if you haven't allowed localhost to connect 
to the server.

However, this functionality hasn't been changed and is there since 4.0.0.

That cannot happen because the debug server is handing it's port to the debug 
client at startup of the client.
