Network connectivity in emulator

J

Jonas

Hi!

How do I set up network connectivity for the emulator? I want to test run my
app which is using sockets to communicate with other apps running on my PC,
but I just can not get the emulator network to work.

TIA

Open Start/Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced and select My Network
Card Connects to Internet.
This will give you straigtforward IP connectivity, but not necessarily name
resolution. You should be able to connect by IP address. Just make sure that
you are a) not trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 or localhost - that would be
device itself and b) have some sort of network connectivity on your PC -
either a network card that it actually connected to something or MS Loopback
Adapter installed
