I use Virtual PC for a proprietary WAP Browser Simulator which looks like a cell phone (so you can view WAP pages on your computer for development purposes) but it is written only for Windows. I have to use this particular simulator, and they won't release it in a java/mac version.
The packets need to go from Virtual PC to MAC OS X, then from MAC OS X to a Solaris WAP gateway over a network connection. Newer phones use HTTP, so the Simulator uses HTTP and it works great. BUT older WAP devices communicate over UDP, and when the simulator uses UDP nothing happens. When I snoop the connection to the WAP gateway it might get one little packet from OS X and that's it (compared to 15 packets from the HTTP simulator).
I think the UDP packets are not able to traverse from Virtual PC to OS X, but can anyone think of how to troubleshoot this, or how to rig it to work? Cheers...
