how to debug an application on the device with GPRS connection?

Hi Guys,
Could you please let me know, how to debug an application with the GPRS connection on a pocket pc device, Since when you connect with active sync the GPRS connection is lost.

i also wanted to know, if we connect to the PC with active sync can we ping to ip address got by the PocketPC device if not how can we share the PC's N/W through the USB interface and be able to ping to the device

Thanks a lot, in advance to your response
Best Regards

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply i really appreciate it,

    I am Using a PocketPC 2003 device.
    When i connect the device to the pc to debug, i am not able to establish a TCP/IP to the network from my pocketpc. I can browse internet from the device.

    I tried establishing a GPRS Connection in the Device and then connecting to the PC, But when i connect to the system the GPRS connection is lost.

    What i want to achieve is to be able to Connect to network(LAN/GPRS) using the device and debug the application.

    Looking forward to your reply

    Thanks and Regards

    You can't do it using mini USB cable, you'd need to purchase Ethernet network adapter compatible with your device and use that. As far as I remember that device has SDIO compatible slot, so SDIO network card should do. I’m not sure if there’s SDIO wired Ethernet adapter available, but I’m sure wireless is.

    Why it's important to use GPRS connection Your application should not care about connection kind and should work the same way with GPRS, Wi-Fi or AS connections. Are you trying to debug Connection Manager related code

    Yes, you can ping it starting WM 5.0.

    You can debug without AS:

    I would advice using Ethernet or Wi-Fi for that.
