This release comes along with theOS Image for Windows Mobile 5.0 w/ Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP).Using this OS image with the emulator will allow you to demonstrate and play with technologies like Direct Push.

I can't get it to browse the internet either. I've tried everything, loopback adapter, NE2000 config, connection settings changes and nothing. At best, I can generate an IP address conflict between the NE2000 NIC on my computer and the one used by the emmulator but, even then, there is no connectivity.

Very frustrating. Get it right people - it shouldn't be this difficult to install/configure/use.

Do you try the "Activesync over DMA" solution?

For Internet connectivity, you will need to have installed the Virtual Switch (VMNet) Driver. This is best obtained by installing Virtual PC software:

-- Virtual PC 2004 is available from www.microsoft.com/downloads and Virtual PC 2007 Beta is available by registering via the Microsoft Connect program (http://connect.microsoft.com).

Once you have installed the Virtual Machine network driver (you can check under "My network Places->Properties"), then enable the NE2000 checkbox on the emulator's config dialog. this should help the emulator get an IP address. You can ping the IP address to make sure you have connectivity.

In most intranet networks, your intranet sites will have IPSec enabled. For older versions of CE and Windows Mobile, there was no way to connect to corpnet machines short of requesting a boundary machine exception from your IT folks.

Please check into this matter.

I am unable to get network access working from the emulator as well. I am running the standalone version 1.0. I installed Virtual PC 2007 to get the virtual machine network driver before installing the emulator and the images. I start the emulator using "PocketPC - Coldboot". I then click on File | Configure.. to bring up the Emulator Properties screen. On the network tab the "Enable NE2000 PCMCIA network adapter and bind to:" box is checked but the pick list below it is greyed out so I can select the correct network adapter. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.

i've got an entire series over at the funcave (www.chrisrue.com) that outlines the installation, customization & configuration of device emulator 1.0, including setup for network connectivity & direct push.

the index URL to the entire series is here: http://www.chrisrue.com/funcave/2006/06/wm5-device-emulator-index.html

all best,

The download page for Device Emulator 1.0 notes that VMNet must be installed on your machine. The link it gives to download it is no longer valid. How should people get VMNet?

# 10

Installing Virtual PC 2004 or 2007 automatically installs the VMNet driver.

FYI: This was the preferred way to get the virtual machine network driver even when the standalone VMNet installer was still out there, as the VMNet installer was *old*

Hi,

Is it possible to install Localized Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator Images on Standalone Device Emulator 1.0? How? I downloaded installer (from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=47&p=5&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=c62d54a5-183a-4a1e-a7e2-cc500ed1f19a&u=details.aspx%3ffamilyid%3dEEC33AE3-C129-4C25-ABAA-18E8E842178F%26displaylang%3den) but, when I run it, it fails because it is requesting Visual Studio 2005 and SDK being installed, but I do not have/want them. I just want to do some software testing on localized images, as I can do on the default english version. My O.S is Windows XP SP2.

Thanks,
Fernando.
