ping to windows ce 5 device with usb connected

Question

When I connect my Win7 PC to a windows ce 5 device by Windows Mobile Center, the windows ce device is assigned an ip address 192.168.55.101.

Is it a way to reach that address using a ping? Does this make sense?

Running an ipconfig on my PC gives the result

ipv4 address: 144.93.29.30

subnet mask: 255.255.254.0

default gateway: 144.93.28.1

Answer 1

No. Ping uses ICMP and the "network" connection created by WMDC does not forward ICMP packets.
