Has anyone solved the problem of connecting to a remote server from the pocket pc emulator when the "remote server" is sql server running on the local machine?

When running the service from the emulator, there is an interminable wait and then an error is returned
This is the error message:

An unhandled exception of type ’System.Net.WebException’ 
occurred in System.Web.Services.dll” … 
Unable to connect to the remote server

The program has reached this line within reference.cs

Object{} results = this.Invoke(“tOrdersByCustomerID”, new object [] (custID));

Googling around I find that a lot of other people have come to the same error but I don't know that anyone else is running the test from the file server.

A common comment is to ensure that all reference to local_host is replaced by a reference to the machine name. I have done that. No good. The local host web files are shared in Active Directory.

Any suggestions?
