Another in my ongoing series of "what the heck do I do now?" questions about
using the compact framework.
Today's issue: I'm using the PPC emulator in VS2005, but it doesn't seem to
be fully connected to my host machine.
Additional difficulty: I don't really know much about network connectivity
to begin with.
What I DO have:
1) Internet connectivity - I can surf the Net via Pocket IE.
What I DON'T have:
1) File sharing (via either machine name or IP). This is a little odd, too,
because when I try to open a share (via File Explorer) that DOESN'T exist, I
get a proper error message ("network path not found"). However, when I try
to open one that does exist, NOTHING happens. No error, no activity.
2) ActiveSync - I'm not trying to use it anyway, but I noticed that if I did
want to, I couldn't because there is no connection. I have the options to
connect via IR or via DMA, but neither works.
3) MSMQ connectivity - The app I am writing wants to use MSMQ to connect to
a public queue on the host machine. I know I have MSMQ installed correctly
on both the PPC and the host...but when I try to run the app I get a "The
queue does not exist" error. Also, if I look at the MSMQ Status via
visadm.exe, it says it is "Disconnected".
I realize this is a pretty vague description of the problem, but I'm dealing
with a number of technologies I'm really not that familiar with (network
connectivity, compact framework, PPC and the PPC emulator, etc...). I'm open
to suggestions and will try to answer any questions you might have to better
help you help me.
Any ideas?
