Windows CE Emulator wireless network

[Alain Dekker]

I've using Visual Studio 2005 to develop a Windows CE 5 application. I have
the Windows CE Emulator from Microsoft installed and working.

I can deply to the device fine and its all going fine...except that I
recently made the switch from a wired network to a wireless network. I use a
USB wireless dongle because I do not have wireless on my development
machine. So far all is good.

Now the Windows CE Emulator will not connect to VS 2005, no matter what I
do. I've tried pinging it, changing from static to DHCP back to static IP
addresses, etc.

The only way I am able to connect again is to run a physical cable from the
back of the wireless router to the development computer (effectively getting
two connections to the internet).

I found in another post the following: "The virtuallization process may not
work with a wireless network because some DHCP servers refuse to issue more
then one IP address to the same physcial MAC address."

From the above its my guess that the DHCP server in the router is not
allowing the development machine to have two IP addresses (one for the dev
machine itself another for the emulator) because it sees only one MAC
address.

My question is: How can I get DHCP to work on a wireless network? Can
Windows CE (or more specifically the emulator) be configured to virtualize a
MAC address from something other than the network card in the host machine?

Thanks,
Alain

I've found one answer:

[DllImport("coredll.Dll")]
public static extern int EnableHardwareKeyboard(int bEnable);

[DllImport("coredll.dll", SetLastError = true)]
public extern static bool TouchCalibrate();

Then call:

EnableHardwareKeyboard(0);
TouchCalibrate();
EnableHardwareKeyboard(1);
