I am trying to use the Emulator to test an application that uses merge
replication. I am following the approach used in the Mobile Line of
Business appliction included in the WM 6 developers resource kit and at
the moment I am having hassles getting the network check of the
application to behave on the emulator.

To check that replication is potentially possile a http request is sent
to http:\\192.64.92.1\SQLMobile\sqlcesa30.dll and the expectation is
that a response will indicate that things are OK to go.

The http request is timing out for some reason. I can access the URL
from my host system and from the emulator I am able to access web pages
that are external to my host system.

I am just curious why the emulator cannot access this resource on the
host. Am I incorrect in expecting to be able to do this testing?



thanks
