eVC++ 4.0 won't talk to Emulator on stand-alone PC

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I'm having a strange problem with eVC++ 4.0. When my PC is connected to
my LAN, I can debug applications using the Pocket PC 2003 Emulator, but
when the PC is not on the LAN, the connection from eVC to the Emulator
fails (times out).
When the PC is stand-alone, the Platform Manager TCP/IP configuration
only offers 127.0.0.1 for the Host IP; I would expect that to be fine,
but apparently not? When the PC is on the LAN, the IP address I
configured for the Ethernet interface is available, and 127.0.0.1 is
absent from the Host IP drop-down.

I guess the good news is that at least I have a pretty straightforward
work-around for this problem: never disconnect from the LAN. But if I
want to take my laptop into the back yard on a nice day, I'll either
need an awfully long cable, or I won't be able to use the Emulator.
Is there any way around this?

Thanks in advance!

Install the loopback adapter for your machine. Search Windows Help for
instructions - they vary a bit depending on the version of Windows your
machine is running.
