Re: How to solve TCP connection issue to debug on a PocketPC ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Note that I don't work with PPC devices, but regular Windows CE devices, so
this information may be a bit off... If you can ping the PPC device from
your development workstation, I think it's safe to conclude that
communication is OK. There are also authentication issues and it's possible
that a reset of the device could leave it in a state where it won't work
with network communications and VS.NET until you've reestablished an
ActiveSync connection. You might give that a quick try, setting a
partnership, if appropriate, etc.

If that doesn't work, you could try the Smart Device Authentication
application, which has been discussed as a non-ActiveSync method of
attaching to Windows CE devices here in the past. You have to download some
add-ons from Microsoft, potentially copy a couple of files to the device,
run a program on the device, run a corresponding program on the desktop and
enter the IP of the device, etc. A quick search from the page referenced
below for "sdauthutildevice.exe" should find the step-by-step instructions,
I think:
