How to use "Smart Device Auth Util"?

[deneb]

hi everybody?

I followed below process(from MS manual) to use Smart Device Auth Util.
------------------------
To use the Smart Device Authentication Utility

1. Open a new or saved Smart Device project in Visual Studio .NET.

2. Run the Smart Device Authentication Utility on the device.

To run the Smart Device Authentication Utility on the device

a. Open the folder that corresponds to the Windows CE version on
your device in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\WinCE Utilities\Authentication Util.

b. Open the folder that corresponds to the CPU of your device.

c. Copy the file SDAuthUtilDevice.exe to your device.

d. Run SDAuthUtilDevice.exe on your device.

e. Click Start.

Note: There will be a pause while the workstation running Visual
Studio .NET connects to the device via a TCP/IP connection.

3. Run the Smart Device Authentication Utility on the computer
running Visual Studio .NET.

To run the Smart Device Authentication Utility on the computer

a. On the Tools menu, click Smart Device Authentication Utility.

b. In the Device IP address box, enter the IP address of the
device.

c. Click Set Up Device.

4. Apply the new setting to Visual Studio as described in the
following procedure.

To apply the settings to Visual Studio

a. On the Tools menu, click Options.

b. Click Device Tools and then click Devices.

c. In the Show devices for platform box, click the device that you
want to connect to.

d. Click Save As, type a new name in the box, and click OK.

e. In the Transport box, click TCP Connect Transport.

f. Click Configure.

g. Click Use specific IP address, and enter the device's IP
address.

h. Click OK.

You can now create, debug and deploy managed code applications for
Windows CE .NET platforms using Visual Studio .NET 2003.
----------------------------------------------


But, as I did 'List 3 - Run the Smart Device Authentication Utility on
the computer running Visual Studio .NET.'

following error comes to me.
of course, I applied the setting to VS 2003 .NET (List 4)

-----------------
Device setup failed!

Common causes: device not running SDAuthUtilDevice.exe, network
problems
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException : Current Connection is forced to
disconnect by remote host

can you ping the device from the desktop? can you ping in the reverse
direction? Sounds like something like a firewall or network adapter order is
getting in the way of the two parts communicating.
