BlackBerry simulator settings for VPN


I want to test a project from the BlackBerry simulator, but our webservice runs on an external server that can only be accessed using the vpn from our PC's. I can access the webservice from the Android simulator without doing anything special. However I cannot access the webservice from the BlackBerry simulator -- not even from the browser of the simulator -- though I am able to connect to other services on the web from the BlackBerry simulator.

What kind settings are there to fix this?


Solution

  • There's a network setting for the simulator that might be useful for situations like this. You could try manually assigning the vpn ip address you were given.

    /ip-address={string} 
    

    IP address of the simulated handheld. This should be left blank under normal circumstances. If running on a PC with multiple IP addresses, one can be specified here to cause the simulator to use it.

    Cheers
