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

Paul. I have found the fix for this issue after having done somany research.
Anyways, thanks to you for constant reply to my queries.
For this problem we have to change the configuration in Platform
manager(EVC) for emulator as shown below.

For transmitting UDP packets through emulator, do the following
configuration in EVC platform manager for emulator.
Tools --> Configure Platform Manager --> Select Smartphone 2003 emulator-->
Properties --> TCP/IP Transport for Windows CE (this should be select for
Transport)
-->Emulator startup server ( this is for startup server). -->Configure -->
Communication --> Ethernet (for this, select Virtual switch(Actually this
filed was set to NAT(OutgoingOnly) which was ultimately blocking the
imcomming data ) from the drop down list.

Now the emulator will support for UDP/TCP transmission. :)
I just wanted to share this info in the discussion so that, If any people
have this kind of issue, they can follow this to change the configuration
inorder to support TCP/UDP tranmission through emulator.


Cheers,
Sudha.v
