I am writing a cross platform game for pocket PCs/windows desktops, using
TCP/IP for communications.
Unfortunately, while it all works fine on desktop machines, I am unable to
get TCP/IP fully working over the USB cable.

I can surf the web using explorer on the pocket PC, with Activesync
passthrough turned on, but I can not ping the desktop machine that the
pocket PC is connected to, nor can I see a web server on my local network by
IP address such as 192.168.0.1:4000 where the seb server (actually a perl
httpd) would be running on port 4000.
According to vxUtil, the IP address of the pocket PC is 192.168.55.101 and
it's gateway ( activesync?) is 192.168.55.100.

The pocket PC can ping it's own address, but not the gateway address, nor
the real IP address of the PC it is connected to (192.168.0.3) I can not
find any settings somewhere to somehow bridge or route the 192.168.55.x
traffic, and at any rate, I can't even seem to ping the 192.168.55.100 end
either from the pocket PC or the desktop machine.

Please help!
Basically I just need TCP/IP working over USB so I can connect to a server
on the desktop machine from the pocket PC.
