Emulator, loopback adapter and no network

Dang salesman took my pocket pc so he could demo. I've stayed away from using the emulator because I thought that testing on the real device would be better.

But no I have no choice. My app uses sockets and connects to a server that is on my pc. The emulator, with the loopback adapter installed, works just fine - when I was on the network in the office. The compact framework app was connecting to my machine, whose ip, at work, is 192.168.20.221.

But now that I'm at home, I cannot get the app in the emulator to connect. I tried 127.0.0.1, but I think the emulator is trying to connect to itself.

Any ideas how I can get this to work?

Thanks,
Mike

you need to use YOUR computers ip address...

Goto the Run Menu (WIndows Key + R)

Type "CMD", Press Enter (Dont Type Quotes)

Type "ipconfig", Press Enter (Dont Type quotes)

If win9x Type "Winipconfig" in the run menu (dont type quotes)


it will show you the adapter information and the ip addresses

I guess that's my problem. I don't seem to have an IP address when I'm not on the network. When I do ipconfig, it just says Media State.......: Media disconnected.

When I'm on the network, of course it lists my ip, subnet mask etc.
