Unable to connect to the Internet

  • Hello,


    i am using an armStoneA5 device with WEC7. I am trying to download, programmatically, some data from the Internet.


    Every different function i have tried (sockets, URLDownloadFileTo) and, generally, accessing the web through the guid (Ping google ->error 11010, IE -> Cannot find server or DNS Error) fail, so it is pretty clear i do not have Internet access.


    When i updated all my system (NBOOT,EBOOT, WinCE Image), could i have entered a wrong win ce mac address (000551+code in the board) and this is causing the problem? Sadly i don't remember if i had Internet before the updates because i was only dealing with LAN connectivity.


    Apart from that, LAN functionality is fine. A valid IP address is assigned, i can ping other computers, receive/send broadcast etc. regardless the network type, wireless or wired.


    Surprisingly enough, when i install Win CE 6.0, Internet is fine! Any hint on this?


    Thanks

  • Hello,


    strange, dafault settings are exactly the same for EC7 and CE6! Can you please check your DNS settings?
    Refer HKLM\Comm\ETHNET<A,B>1\Parms\tcpip.

  • Hello,


    Mobile Device Center was causing the problem. There is an option "Allow data connections when...", in the Connection settings.
    When enabled (every time you connect/restart!), IE can access the web.


    Ping function, still, doesn't work, but i haven't try to ping programmatically while debugging through Ethernet, so i ll try this.


    EDIT:Yes, ping works when debugging through Ethernet.


    Thanks
