I’m working with a PocketPC vm for development over here.

I can get the virtual device to connect to the internet, but I can’t get it to connect to a web service on my local (host) machine.

I’ve tried the machine name and my IP address, different ports, but no luck.

Anyone else have this issue?

EDIT: I have an actual device at my machine as well. When docked I don’t have this problem with the real device, just the emulated one.

    Figured it out when I read this article:
    http://www.betterthaneveryone.com/archive/2008/08/31/getting-network-access-on-the-windows-mobile-emulator.aspx

    1. The device has to be docked. You need to use the Device Emulator Manager to dock the device. Also note: you can only have one device docked at a given time.
      Once the device is docked, you should see the Windows Mobile Device Center display. Find the running device (look for the green arrow), right-click and select Cradle. Remember, only one device can be cradled/docked at a time. If you have a real device that is cradled already, you cannot cradle an emulator.
    2. In Windows Mobile Device Center -> Mobile Device Settings -> Connection Settings: Check “Allow connections to one of the following:” and select DMA in the dropdown.
    3. On the emulator: File->Configure->Network. Make sure a valid network device is selected.
    4. From the emulated OS: Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks. Make both drop-downs My ISP.

    That should be it. To test, load Internet Explorer, browse to StackOverflow.com. Next, browse to a web page on your local machine.
