Debug in PPC 2003 emulator

[Rodney Mitchell]

My new install of VS .Net 2003 and PPC 2003 SDK on a WIN XP Pro computer
works fine all except for debug in the PPC 2003 emulator. The project
deploys OK and will run OK without debug. (Same in PPC 2002 emulator as
well).

Attempts to debug produce no error messages, but there is a delay while
it seems to attempt to start things, but it then gives up after 30-60
seconds.

MSDN only mentions lack of network connection as causing this problem,
but the computer is always connected to a network. Perhaps some specific
network settings are required?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes. The only item that seems to match my problem is (to quote):-

11.13. Why does Emulator debugging fail if the machine does not have a
network connection?

Symptom: When a machine has no active network connection, debugging with
the Emulator (F5) does not work, while deployment without debugging
(Ctrl-F5) works fine.

Cause: Emulator debugging relies on TCP transport.

My computer is running TCP on a normal network (mostly used for Internet
connect sharing and peer to peer transfers), so I assume a loop back
connection as described in the fix is not necessary. I thought maybe
something in my TCP configuration was missing.
