Hello,

I was wondering if you can get the mobile device emulator to be able to work in a corporate environment with proxy servers. As I can get connected to websites in IE but cannot get ActiveSync to find my server.

Thanks,

Andrew

Andrew,

Sorry for the delay! You can set the emulator to use a proxy to test on a corp environment however I suspect your issue is likely name resolution. Typically the mailserver is behind the proxy (inside, like you would be) so the emulator would not be using the proxy because the request is actually for an internal resource. YMMV though. Try pinging the mailserver by name (server.company.com for example) and then use the IP address as the "name" (uncheck use SSL or you will get a cert failure because the name doesn't match). That should help narrow down whether you have a name resolution problem.

What about installing on Windows Vista? This does not seem to work, specifically the "Virtual Machine Network Services Driver".
