Hi all

On a Windows XP embedded platforms + GPRS modem there is often
problems of GPRS hang-up. The connection stops very often when we move
in a train.

How to proceed to know exactly what is happening ? Can the connection
be monitored at the Windows IP Stack level ? Are there tools for this
kind of situation ?

GPRS function is not part of standard XP IP stack (any SP).
So it must be supported by a 3rd party drivers/applications that are in your image (likely the GPRS modem driver you mentioned).
They may expose some APIs to check GRPS connectivity and/or connection state/level but you will probably get the details contacting
the driver manufacturer. Maybe they support some AT command to check the connectivity to GPRS network.

Using XP IP Helper library you will be able to see whether it failed to get an IP or not.

In any case this seems to be the wrong NG for your question unless the problem has no repro on XP Pro.
