Pocket Pc & Web Service - Very Urgent

[Guest]

Hi

I need to consume Xml web services from a Pocket PC application using Visual
studio 2005. The problem is that I cant connect to the web service hosted on
the localhost from the emulator even a “Hello Word†web service. The
following error occurs: “error: could not establish connection to networkâ€.

I’ve tried using IP address, machine name instead of localhost in the URL.
Set the URL hard coded in code, installed and configured the Loop back
adapter. But nothing worked.

So, I need to know the needed steps to consume the Web services and if there
is any condition. And how to resolve the problem.

Is there anything that I missed?

Thanks

Does the emulator have network connectivity (can you browse with the
browser)?

Is there anything anything that I can do to setup network connectivity?

I was not able to browse with the browser...

Type ipconfig at a command prompt and ensure the Loopback is setup correctly
and ensure the IP address you are using is correct.
I do generally find emulators very problematic and advise using a real
device if possible.

I rarely use the emulator, but IIRC you have to go to the settings page and
turn on networking.
