I'm new to blackberry development and I have a few questions.

1) how can i setup my simulator to access my IIS to view a web app I'm creating to be able to be viewed from the blackberry?

2) do I need anything specail on my box to do this?

I installed the following from blackberry.com
JDK
all the sims
Email and MDS component package

hai csharpguy,


There is no special tool need to connect your IIS. You can connect BlackBerry simulator to IIS by starting the MDS. this comes with your BlackBerry JDE. If your server uses proxy then you need to change MDS configuration file. you can find that file in Blackberry Installation Directory.

i seem to recall there being a problem when trying to access /localhost from the simulator, you may need to use the computer network name which you can get from typing 'hostname' in a command prompt.

could be wrong though, it's been a while.
