Re: call is blocked in recvfrom() and no further proceedings in Win CE



There is no fix for trying to send UDP other than to use real networking.
If you have a real network card, it *does* work (done it many times). If
you use ActiveSync, it will not work.

You say that bind() fails? What error code is returned from
WSAGetLastError() (those error codes actually *do* communicate
information!)?

The emulator is another 'device' scenario that doesn't work with UDP
(incoming, at least), so you really need a real device with real network
connections to test anything...
