Emulator does not connect to the LAN...

Hi,

I'm trying to set up my Visual Studio 2005 to develop a project for a device
that will be connected to the corporate Sql Server 2000 database via a
wireless LAN. The problem is I can't configure the emulator to be connected
to the LAN. I've tryed both approach: through the Visual Studio
Tools/Options/Device Tools/Devices/Pocket PC 2003 SE
Emulator/Properties/Emulator Options/Network Tab/Enable NE2000 PCMCIA
network adapter and bind to: "connected network card"; and I also tryed to
directly configure the emulator on Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Network
Cards/NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver by setting the same IP address of my
PC and a IP address non used on my own network segment. Neither of these
approaches work. To test if the emulator is correctly configured I use the
Internet explorer on the device and point it to my intranet web server. As a
result the emulator raises a dialog that say: "Unable to connect: You have
no modem entries created, and no network card present."

What I'm doing wrong? How to configure Visual Studio to set up the emulator
as a wireless enabled device?
Thanks in advance

Sammy

Try this steps:

1. Run Tools->Device Emulator Manager
2. Select Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator
3. Actions->Connect
4. Actions->Cradle

It looks the problem was I did not have installed the VPC Network driver. I
installed it and now I have connection.
Anyway thanks a lot for your time.
