unable to connect to the remote server

[William LaMartin]

I have a Windows Mobile 5 application I wrote with vb.Net 2005 that connects
to a webservice and provides it with four strings which the web service
inserters into a MySQL database. This application works fine on a Windows
Mobile 5 Pocket PC. But on my new Widows Mobile 6 Pocket PC, connected to
the same wireless phone data network, I receive the message "unable to
connect to the remote server". The device is connected to the Internet
since I can browse web sites--and the connection to the web service has
worked on one or two occasions, but 95% of the time I receive the error
message.

If I, instead, connect the Mobile 6 device to the Internet via the wireless
LAN, the connection to the web service works. So what is there about
connecting via the wireless phone data connection that would be different?

Hi William,

May I ask how you set up connection with internet? Do you use rasdial, connectionmanager or some third party software? I'm trying to find out how to connect server eg. with rasdial from pda but I'm not sure which is the easiest and the best way to do it. I'm using c# and mobile 5.0 (cf 2.0).
