Unable to connect to the remote server - (compact Framework)

I am creating one Pocket PC application and i have one problem ... i work with one firewall !

I have created the pocket PC app on my local machine (using VS.Net 2003).
When I run it in debug mode (using the Pocket PC 2002 emulator), and click on a button which calls that part, the following error message appears:

"Unable to connect to the remote server "

I get this error one the line (11):

Line 10 : HttpWebRequest wr = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(_url);
Line 11 : WebResponse resp = wr.GetResponse();
Line 12 : Stream stream = resp.GetResponseStream();

Do I need to set the internet setting on the emulator?
Any thoughts guys?

Don't use local host for webservice URL, use machine name, if you are consuming in CF from local machine!!
It's my thought ; )

I was having this same problem (same error message) after downloading and setting up a demo program which used a web service to connect to a remote SQL Server database. I was using "http://localhost/TitlesWS/service1.asmx" as the URL of the web service. I changed "localhost" to my local machine name and my demo program worked.

Your advice makes sense. Many thanks.
