Cannot establish a connection; driving me crazy

[Egbert Nierop \(MVP for IIS\)]

I've seen this error in this NG.
Nowhere I found a solution for error: Error: Cannot establish a connection.
Be sure the device is physically connected to the development computer.
I have deployed succesfully an image, but I never could use emulation.
Windows tells about it found a new driver, but after that, it fails.

And i have red

Make sure you have a network connection

Make sure you have a network connection

as I said, deployment is no problem which uses a TCP connection, but
debugging not...

Nevertheless it is possible that the debugging session will not start even
if deployment succeeded. - because of the local network configuration.

Sometimes hard-resetting the device helps

Be sure I'm experienced with such solutions

It is fixed now! By removing the 'virtual server PC switch' driver from the
network panel it works now.
What that device was doing there, I don't know, but it seems not to be a
necesarry device to deploy and to debug my solution.
