- Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0

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
   - Tlcesrv.dll
   - Tlppp.dll
   - Toolhelp.dll
   - Cemon.exe
   - Cefwcli.exe
   - Cehwcli.exe
   - Cepwcli.exe
   - Ceregcli.exe
   - Cespycli.exe
   - Cezcli.exe

- 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.

- If your system is using Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 (SP6),
  install Service Pack 6a.

STATUS
