setting up internet access on emulator
Hi,
I´m trying to debug my app on the professional emulator. The app has a webbrowser control.
The emulator is asking for internet access, but I can´t get it to work, allthough I think I have put in the right settings. The phone radio is also turned of.
I guess this is some sort of beginners mistake, please help.

Re: setting up internet access on emulator
In Visual Studio, when the emulator is running, click on Tools>Device Emulator Manager.
Scroll down the list, looking for your emulator (which should show as connected), right-click on it, and choose cradle. This should connect the device using activesync (or WMDC), and you should be able to access the internet

Thanks for your help!
However I can´t get it to work. The Emulator still says I cannot connect to the internet.
I don´t get it. Why doesn´t it just use the computers internet connection?

Does it cradle successfully?
Have you tried using PIE to browse to a site?
Re: setting up internet access on emulator
How do I know if it cradles succesfully? The symbol changes in the list from a green arrow to something resembling a wire I think. :)
No, I haven´t tried PIE. I´ll look into it.

Ok, I got it working. Thanks!
I don´t know how I did it, so I guess I´ll be needing more help further on.
But for now I´m up and running.

This is a great question - its shocking how this basic step is almost undocumented anyplace. For my experience: the cradle tip did not work but I then went into settings on the device emulator and setup a proxy connection and checked the "Connects to the Internet" (cant remember the exact phrase) only - soft reset the emulator device and I was good to go -i also previously selected my network card from "Network" thats accessible thru the emulators settings menu...
