NE2000 PCMCIA network adapter selection

Hello,

I am trying to set up Pocket PC emulator for the internet connection without using Active Synch.

I am trying following steps described in http://nino.net/blogs/nino/archive/2006/01/20/WM5EmulatorInternetConnectivityWithoutActiveSync.aspx

But in my case I am having following problems:

From Emulator:File -> Configure->Network I can check "Enable NE000 PCMCIA network adapter and bind to" but I cannot browse for the network adapters available.

Is there any problem with my installation

I can set the correct network adapter from Visual Studio 2005->Tools->Options->Devices->Properties->Emulator Options and then once I run the emulator I can find my selection in File -> Configure->Network .

Once I try to perform step 7, selecting NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver no adapter selection comes up and if I try to set "My network card connects to:" The internet, there is no way to save the setting and to be able to browse webpages through IE on the emulator.

Did I follow the correct procedure

Can anybody help on this

Thanks!

    1. Can you please make sure ip address is assigned to emulator. With PPC you can find it in Start->Settings->Connectivity->Ne2000.

    2. Please make sure if you using NE2000 card, you have not cradled the emulator. Using both at the same time confuses emulator.

    3. Also please make sure you have set the proxy appropriately.

    -Thanks,

    I think you are running Device Emulator v1. Runtime enumeration of cards to bind to NE2000 was supported with Device Emulator V2 CTP. Please upgrade to V2 CTP to get this functionality.

    Device Emulator doesn't support UDP.

    With Device Emulator V2 CTP I am able to set up the net adapter from the emulator configure command but still unable to browse webpages without active synch.

    Can anybody post a complete "how to" for clarifying configuration needed for setting the emulator to connect to the internet without active synch

    The problem I am facing now is that a pop up error occurs when trying to connect to a web page: "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again"

    I have installed Virtual Machine Network Services drivers but for some reasons IE makes a NBNS instead of a DNS query for any kind of configuration I set.

    Any idea on how to solve this issue

    What are the correct configuration parameters to set the emulator to properly use a wireless adapter connecting to the internet

    Thanks in advance

    Yes. That thread also mentions UDP connectivity being not supported.

    Hi Mohit,

    thanks for your answer.

    Yes, I have assigned a valid IP address to my emulator.

    I have set an IP address different from my real network connection but in the same subnet, is this ok

    I didn't cradle the emulator and active synch is not running at all.

    My network doesn't use any proxy so I havent' configured the emulator to use proxy.

    Is this ok or should I set in such way the proxy settings

    Unfortunately my emulator is still not able to connect. What I am seeing from ethereal capturing is that my emulator attempts to locate the website through a NBNS query using the ip address I set, i.e. if I set IP addr= 192.168.21.6 and try to connect to www.google.com then from ethereal I can see outgoing NBNS query to 192.168.21.255 that doesn't answer.

    I have configured both DNS and WINS settings with my DNS values but the settings seems to be ignored.

    Any idea about the above issue

    If I try sample code to send data through UDP using IPV4 socket then sendto instruction returns:

    error 10047 “Address family not supported by protocol family”

    UDP connectivity IS supported on the emulator.

    Any connectivity IS NOT supported in case of PC using WIRELESS connections on the emulator.

    This is for my experience.

    Hi Mohit are sure Emulator doesn't support UDP
