can't connect to internet...

[benmartin101]

I'm creating a program for pocket pc, which uses a web service. When I try to debug the program, I use the pocket pc 2003 se emulator. When it gets to calling the webservice, it crashes saying that not connected to network. How do i make the emulator think that its connected to the internet? I tried to go to File->Configure...->Network. There are only 2 options that are not disabled, i tried checking them, but it didn't work.

Note: The computer where i'm doing this has internet connection.

While I can't fix your issue directly related to the emulator, I can offer advice on how to keep it from crashing. Read the thread titled " Check for internet connection" in my signature. That should provide you with code to test whether or not you have internet access and you should be able to keep it from crashing.

open internet explorer on the emulator and browse to the url of your webservice.
can you see the webservice url.

also make sure you are not have 127.0.0.1 as that is the address of localhost and the emulator cannot resolve it to be your PC.
