VPN support in Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC emulator?
I installed Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 and used the included Device Emulator. With the Pocket PC 2003 SE image I can connect to a VPN server.
With the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC image I don't have such luck. I configure a VPN connection the exact same way is with Pocket PC 2003 and the new VPN connection actually shows up in the Connection Manager. However, when I tap the two opposing arrows at the top of the screen the Connectivity window appears but the new VPN connection does not show up there.
Are VPN connections not supported in the Device Emulator?
Thanks,
Jacco

I cannot imagine actual Windows Mobile 5.0 devices shipping with broken VPN support. So this means that either:
- I misconfigured the VPN because something in the VPN settings has changed between Pocket PC 2003 SE and Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC.
- Something broke in the interaction between Windows Mobile 5.0 and the Device Emulator.
Did you test setting up a VPN yourself? And yes, I did read the release notes that said that "/ethernet
virtualswitch" must be specified as a parameter.
