Windows Mobile ~ SQLCE Replication / IIS Connection Failure

All,

I'm trying to connect with a VS2005 CF app from my emulator to same the desktop in order to synch a SQL 2005 publication.

The problem is I can even connect to the desktop IIS server from the emulator to test the sqlcesa30 dll to see if everything else is correct.
- Basically get a 404 type error from the emulator --- just doesn't see the iis web service (or the desktop machine its running from for that matter) from the emulator
- I do have a net connection from the emulator and can otherwise surf the net and see other machines in my private (192.168.x.x) network -- just not the host desktop with sql server 2005 and IIS
- I have installed DMA; deleted the CoreCon folder; reset the emulator; used both DHCP and static IPs from the emulator -- all still give me internet connectivity...just don't let me connect to the device....

Also:
- Publication has been created and I used the Web Synch wizard to set it all up
-- Permissions on the virtual dir and share look good
-- Had a very similar set-up with SQL 2000 and VS2003 that worked perfectly (sql 200 has been fully uninstalled)
-- Pub files are where they should be
-- connecting to the sqlagent site from the desktop http://.../.../sqlcesa30.dll works as expected

What am I doing wrong This is driving me nuts...

thanks
tim

Can you see your page from another machine The emulator despite running on the same machine enters through the front door to your site and behaves as if it was another desktop somewhere out on the network. On the first look this sound like a security issue.

Thanks,

Postscript:
I have also disabled my firewall on the desktop but that doesn't help. Bottom line:
Why can't my emulator 'see' the host PC I have tried, in the url, using machine alias and IP.

thanks still,
