hai all,

i would like to know how can i connect my emulator with ethernet. iam using s60 2nd edition fp2 beta.And i think for this edition no extra packages or libraries are neede to get the network connection.In the emulator->tools ->preferences->Ethernet setting i diid the following setting, unchecked network adapter in promiscuous mode and provided a static ip and for the dns setting i looked ipconfig/all and provided the ip shown by that.in my machine dhcp is not installed nor any ias or such things(only has symbian and microsoft visual studio).i wrote a vc program using socket and  it was  successfully connected.i saw many post about this and tried all the solution.i ran the program both in debug and release mode but without any gain.i would like to know if any additional settings or software required to make this work.

Hi Rose,

    Check the unchecked network adapter in promiscuous mode and give the IP's and other info as per your LAN setting. And dont forget to set which adapter to use( Click on the Button ). Thats it.

Atleast these things worked for me  Wink. or you can follow the steps given in the Docs for configuring the emulater for internet(But its very lenthy process).

Re: connecting emulator
Are you using the Series 60 v2 FP3 Beta SDK Huh?
This SDK has a really poor and unstable network support (at least we did encounter the same DHCP error using it). Moving to the final SDK which is available since tuesday on Forum Nokia  may solve your issue.



Please try to post directly in the right forum. Your issue is not related to "Symbian C++" but is a lot better in this Internet forum. You will save me the time to move your post and help the others that may find for similar issues.

Thanks.

Re: connecting emulator
I tried fps and was able to connect to the internet.

Following steps to be carried out by me:

1 . Assigned a static IP to my PC.
2.  Start the npacketadmin.exe loacted in C:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2\epoc32\tools. This service is stopped so start it.
3. Launch the emulator ( Debug emulator only. The release mode one doesn't works Sad )
4. Set the ethernet settings of emulator in tools preferences.
5. Assign a separate static Ip to your emulator . It should be unique and not assigned to any other user on lan.
6. Check the promiscious mode i.e select it.
7. Assign proper dns , gateway and other settings as per your lan settings.
8. And you are ready .
9. check the browser in emulator . It works You send see packets being sent and received by the npacketadmin.exe service.


   I thing you might not have started the npacketadmin.exe. First start the npacketadmin.exe service  and then start the emulator.

I hope this works for . It worked for me.  Smiley
