Unable to connect to the remote server - (compact Framework)

[rbfigueira]

I am creating one Pocket PC application and i have one
problem ... i work with one firewall !

I have created the pocket PC app on my local machine
(using VS.Net 2003).
When I run it in debug mode (using the Pocket PC 2002
emulator), and click on a button which calls that part,
the following error message appears:

"Unable to connect to the remote server "

I get this error one the line (11):

Line 10 : HttpWebRequest wr = (HttpWebRequest)
WebRequest.Create(_url);
Line 11 : WebResponse resp = wr.GetResponse();
Line 12 : Stream stream = resp.GetResponseStream();

Do I need to set the internet setting on the emulator?
Any thoughts guys?

You will need to configure your device for the firewall settings. This is
under the control panel, in "internet settings."

Cheers,
Rich

Hi there,

In the emulator, navigate to the settings screen, then hit the connections
tab. There, you should see several icons, one of which is "connections."
Hit that button, and a screen should pop up. "Modify" the "work settings",
and a dialog should pop up allowing you to configure a proxy server setting.
