How do you set up Pocket PC Emulator to be able to access network and make HTTP requests

I am trying to write a simple smart device TCP/IP client using the .NET Compact Framework.  All I want to do is open a socket, send some text and close the socket.  Whenever I try to establish the connection, I get the "unreachable host" error.  Do I need to set up my Pocket PC emulator to do this?  How do I do this.  All the docs that I've read on how to do this has not solved this problem for me.  Thanks.  Also, the same app works fine from my PC, it just won't work from the Pocket PC emulator.

Please check whether you have any proxy settings in your network
if yes, then set the proxyserver settings start->settings->connections(tab)->connections->setupmy proxyserver
enter the proxyservername.

If you are creating the mobile device application,
1. start debugging(F5)
2. Ask to choose where to deploy
3. select the suitable emulator

this will open emulator and run the application

Note: you must have activesync in your machine

manual setting of the proxy will not be required once the emulator does an active sync synchronization then it will automatically pick up the proxy settings present in the desktop Internet explorer
