sockets not seeing the world :(

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

Hi

I have been programming for years but am just starting to develop
mobile apps for wm5. im using visual studio 2008, but did start my
development on visual studio 2003.

I am trying to implement some parts of an ftp client into a compact
app using sockets. Within vs2003 this worked fine both in an emulator
and running the app on a device via the activesync link, but when i
created a cab file for the app and installed it on my device it would
not connect to the network, failing on the connect command (connecting
to an endpoint)

I have since moved to vs2008 and i am now unable to get my application
to connect to the outside world both on the emulator and the device. I
have tried opening the web browser on the emulator and am unable to
access a web page, which tells me it has no internet connection. thats
fair enough i can see why that wont work but when i install the app
onto my device i have tried opening a normal data connection and wifi,
both allow me to open web pages, but neither allow my socket to
connect

anyone got any ideas??

Pete
