Can´t connect to a desktop SQL 2000 from smartdevice connected by ActiveSync with USB

Hi everyone.

For the last few days i´ve been searching for a solution to my problem. I´m trying to connect to a local desktop SQL Server 2000 in my development PC from a smartdevice emulator using VS 2008 with C#. I can navegate from the emulator and i can connect to a SQL CE database in the emulator.

I've tried pocketc PC 2003 and Windows mobile 5 and 6, but makes no difference.

I'm developing in a VMWare workstation using WXP x86 SP3 on a physical W7 x64 OS, and networking by WIFI, but since it´s a local connection, i don´t think that´s the problem.

I've tried also named and IP connections.

The physical handheld has no network device, so i must try to connect by USB port using activesync when the user cradles the device.

The error i´m getting is "ConnectionRead (recv())." {"SqlException"} Number 11

Here´s my code:

using System.Data.SqlClient;

namespace SmartDeviceProject7 { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string connString = "Data Source=192.168.16.105;Initial Catalog=BD;User Id=user;Password=**;";
        string cmdText = "select Id, Descripcion from Depositos";

        using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
        {
            conn.Open();
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(cmdText, conn);
            SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

            while (reader.Read())
            {
                System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}, {1}", reader[0], reader[1]));
            }
            reader.Close();
        }
    }

Thanx in advance for any help.

Néstor.
