  Hi Carl,
  
  I able to make it work using loopback adapter and internet connection sharing approach. thanks.

  The driver which provides the network for the device emulator does not allow traffic to be routed outside of the VPC directly.  In order to access ressources outside of the VPC, you have two solution.  The easier one consist of connecting the emulator through Activesync using the device emulator manager.  This tool is started from VS's "Tools" menu and you can cradle any device emulator with it.  In the "connection settings" in activesync, DMA has to be selected and enabled.  To make sure all traffic goes through activesync, in the network pane of the emulator configuration dialog, disable the NE2000 emulation by unchecking the checkbox. 
  You also have to set up the network access on the pocket pc.  In settings, connections, connections, you can set up your connections.  In advanced, you can choose networks.  Since you are in a VPC, I suggest you select the “My work connection” connection.  You also need to go into the proxy settings of the connections and check “this connection connects to the internet”.  This would also be the place to enter your proxy information if you need any.
  
  This should give you access to your network ressurces. 
  
  The second way involves installing the loopback adapter, binding the emulator to that adapter and creating a bridge between the 2 connections or using internet sharing on these adapters.
