  Try to install the Emulator Performance patch available at:
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/default.aspx
  
  After the installation, go into Tools, Options, Devices, Device Tools, your emulator of choice, Properties, and make sure that "DMA Transport" is selected in the 2nd drop down list.  Then, go into the Emulator Properties, Network tab, and remove the checkbox next to NE2000.  Close the emulator if it is running and try to use the emulator again.
  
  If you have a saved-state, you might have to delete it using the Device Emualator Manager (from the Tools menu).  You can also use ActiveSync to connect the emulator through the Device Emulator Manager.

  Hello..
  i had same problem as you have.
  what i found was, i had changed my network settings(like changes on network interface card...) on desktop that causes same problems.
  
  i tried to repair with repair, reinstall, and etc... didn't solved.
  i found some network service(Virtual PC Emulated Ethernet Switch) is installed on the my NIC(network interface card)
  after installing VS2005, and it works without problems.
  but that service is configured  for my old network settings.
  To solve problem, i did.
  ==============================
  1. uninstall Virtual PC Emulated Ethernet Switch from NIC Connection Properties
  2. go to Computer Management --> Device Manager --> Network adapters
  3. on the menu View--> Show hidden devices
  4. uninstall Virtual PC Emulated Ethernet Switch Driver on your NIC
  5. go to NIC Connection Properties again (your network connection properties)
  6. Install --> Service --> Virtual PC Emulated Ethernet Switch
  7. with your emulator, reset(remove) saved states
  ===============================
  
  i hope this helps with similar problems....

  Thanks to all.
  
  I installed the patch mentioned above and with Amit's help I could finally solve the problem. The interesting thing in this patch is that it makes the VPC Network Driver unnecessary.

  VS 2005 Beta 2
  XPSP2
  ActiveSync 4.0
  Device emulator performance patch (dma patch)
  
  I had similar situation that it complains that theres no VPC driver install.  So this is what I did:
  1.  Insert the CD for Virtual PC 2004.
  2.  Go to my Network Connection, property on my local area network
  3.  Click add service
  4.  Click Have Disk
  5.  Browse to the virtual pc 2004 installation ( can't remember the exact folder structure) but there's a .sys file and an .inf file for the Virtual PC Network service
  
  Some reason either the VS2005 Beta 2 fails to install this driver during VS setup or it's not included to begin with.
  
  The error went away, and I can debug both with DMA and tcp/ip.

  You can cradle the emulator with ActiveSync using Tools\Device Emulator Manager and then you should be able to get to your webservice. Please note that the webservice has to be accessible from another machine in order for it to be accessible from the emulator.
  
  Thanks,
