Unable to deploy to emulator

Hi,

I created an empty vb.net device application (v2.0). Add a label and a textbox.
Pressed F5. After a while the emulator starts and I don't see the application in the emulator. After a while I get a message that that 'application could not be deployed'.

Am I missing some steps?

Thanks,
Ivan

By default, Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 uses tcpip as the transport to the emulator. I suggest that you verify the ip of the emulator. To do this on a pocket pc, go into settings, connections, network cards, Ne2000 compatible ethernet driver. Try to ping this ip from your desktop computer. Another solution would be to install the loopback adapter. You can find instructions on how to do that at :

If you have installed a previous version of VS2005 on a computer, you might still have configuration files that are now invalid. Close VS, delete the following directory:
\Documents and Settings\<localuser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon
and restart VS
Which image are you using and does Visual Studio provide you with any more information in the output window?

The loopback adapter kb is for XP. I have Windows 2000. I'm using the Pocket PC 2003 SE emulator.

Did what you suggested and the IP is set to server-assigned and it is: 169.254.238.199. When I ping from desktop it gets timed out, so I guess that's the problem.

Can I just change the IP address directly from the emulator or are there any other settings somewhere else?

You can effectively change the ip of the emulator directly on pocket pc images. Visual Studio will detect the new ip when you try to connect again.
As for the loopback adapter solution, there is a similar KB article for 2000 available at:
