Your problem is probably in the first instance that you need to install the
loopback adapter so your PC can pretend to the emulator that it's on a
network.
There are instructions on how to do this here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ackAdapter.asp
(For both Windows XP and Windows 2000).
Then you can type "ipconfig" in a command window, and use the value
displayed for "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection" for your PC's IP
address.
Should work like a charm.
From there, to make life easier, I recommend Pocket Hosts by Marc Zimmermann
(
http://www.zimac.de/cestuff.htm - Have a look. It just works).
On the other hand (and changing the subject completely without
justification, but it's been a frustrating week), getting an ad-hoc (as
opposed to infrastructure) WiFi link to work from a Pocket PC with a
DCF-660W card, *that's* the hard one (hint: I gave up).
