SYMPTOMS
If you try to download or run a remote tool in a Windows CE emulation environment, a remote connection may be initiated; however, it may then stop responding or hang indefinitely.



CAUSE
To use the Windows CE emulation environment, you must have Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networking support. Also, a bug in the emulation TCP/IP transports may require that the workstation TCP/IP be configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).



RESOLUTION
Try one of the following solutions to enable emulation connectivity:  If the workstation is using a static IP address, ensure that the address is a valid workstation address (the first and last addresses of a subnet are not valid workstation addresses). Please see your network administrator for more details. Install TCP/IP networking for your operating system and configure for DHCP. If you do not have a DHCP server available, you may not be able to connect with the emulation environment. Delete the following components from the emulator \Windows folder and attempt the connection again:  Cemgrc.exe Cetlstub.dll Tcpipc.dll</li> Tlcesrv.dll</li> Tlppp.dll</li> Toolhelp.dll</li> Cemon.exe</li> Cefwcli.exe</li> Cehwcli.exe</li> Cepwcli.exe</li> Ceregcli.exe</li> Cespycli.exe</li> Cezcli.exe</li></ul>

</li> Connect your desktop computer to a Windows CE device by using Microsoft Windows CE Services or ActiveSync 3.0, before you try to establish a connection with the emulator.</li> If your system is using Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 (SP6), install Service Pack 6a.</li></ul>
