I am using Windows Mobile 6 Professional Emulator and Windows Mobile Device Center. I connected and cradled the emulator to my computer.

I am trying to connect from the browser of the emulator to a webservice that is deployed in the IIS of my computer (same machine where the emulator is installed). If I connect my computer to the internet, I can access any website, including my local WS (using the IP returned by ipConfig). The problem is when I disconnect the computer from the Internet: I cannot access my local web service using the IP (internal one returned by ipconfig), or machine name.

Do you have any ideea what settings am I missing? I am sure this it's possible somehow, I just don't know how...

PS: The goal is to access the WS from a mobile application, but until I cannot access it from the browser, I cannot access it from the application either.

Thank you!
