Windows Mobile 5 - Solve emulator doesn't work problem

Recently I studied windows mobile 5 dvelopment for the coming Palm project. I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Beta, Mobile5 SDK for PocketPC and Mobile 5 SDK for Smartphone, then while I tried to debugging test app on PocketPC emulator, I couldn't deploy the app on the emulator.

Every time while starting emulator, it would popup a error message "Error: No VPC network adapters enumerated or no host network adapter with provided MSC address found", and finally VS gave sth like "All attempts to connect to the deployment target at port 5654 have failed. Addresses attempted: ::1;fe80::1%1" log. And after Emulator running, used Pocket IE doesn't work, couldn't connect to internet.

I have searched the web and found the problem is because my machine is lack of one service "Virtual Machine Network Driver for Microsoft Device Emulator". After I installed this service and went to network card properties to choose use this service, then all the issue gone! The service can be download from here:
