I was testing WM5 and I found connecting to 127.0.0.1 doesnt work anymore  
  
(neither internet explorer nor a sample wininet) and instead localhost works  
  
when the device is not cradled, but if it is cradled it doesnt work again.  
  
The fix suggested in  
  
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/migration_developers_faq.asp  
  
"What do I need to do to make my Pocket PC resolve "localhost" correctly?"  
  
also doesnt help...  
  
Any ideas...windows cenet team?

Have you installed that fix on a WM5 device?  I think it was only meant for  
  
PocketPC 2003 devices.  If you have it on already, could you try  
  
uninstalling it and seeing if you have better luck?  I know that PIE is  
  
broken connecting to 127.0.0.1 but I thought localhost worked in all  
  
scenarios (I hadn't heard complaints at least).  Our apologies for this  
  
continued issue.  
  
Please note I'll be out for Christmas break starting tomorrow and won't be  
  
back for a few weeks, so understand any responses I would make to this would  
  
be delayed.
