Socket Communication over WiFi not working in Windows Mobile

Question

I am trying to send some data using TCP via WiFi to a desktop PC.

I am using a TCP Listener and socket in the PD

I am using TCPClient in the windows mobile.

When the Mobile is connected to a PC ( not necessarily the server ), the winmo is able to send the data.

But when the mobile is connected to wifi, the same code fails.
I am getting a "SocketException"

But I am able to ping the server.

What may be the reason

Which one, there are many causes of Socket Exception, you need to capture the error code to determine the exact problem.

I am not able to see the message as it says something like

An error message is available for this exception but cannot be displayed because these messages are optional and are not currently installed on this device. Please install ‘NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab’ for Windows Mobile 5.0 and above or ‘NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab’ for other platforms. Restart the application to see the message

Well that is obviously your first step. It really is very difficult to guess what might be causing your problem without the message code or associated text. Assuming that you wrote this program you could try to get the error code in the exception catcher and display that. You should then be able to find out what the code means.
