Getting Network access on the Windows Mobile Emulator

Getting Network access on the Windows Mobile Emulator

I’m using the landscape skin for my standard Windows Mobile emulator, Windows Vista and Windows Mobile Device Center.  This is important for both just developing applications and your web pages.  This is a way to verify your sites render properly on mobile device.  My site … does not render correctly.

1. To enable network access, we need to first go to File –> Configure then to the Network tab while in the emulator.
    
2. Check the “Enable network blah blah blah” but you may get the error below
   
3. If you do, that means you need to get a VM network driver, the URL to get Virtual PC 2007 is: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=46859.  This is a free download too.  It is 30mb.
   
4. Install it (you don’t even need to turn off your emulator)
5. Start up Windows Mobile Device Center
6. Go to Connection Settings and allow DMA.
   
7. Start up the Device Emulator from Visual Studio.  Tools –> Device Emulator Manager
8. Cradle your device.  I’ve already cradled mine.
    
9. Complete the first time connect screen on Windows Mobile Device Center.
10. Start browsing
