Error Network Connection during Data Sync - MobileServiceConnection

[RobertMEIER]

Just recently started happening, I have not been able to connect to my service to sync data. I have recreated the mxd and the service, but still cannot connect.

The error is "Could not establish connection to network."

I wrote the following to test the connection -

            MobileServiceConnection connection = new MobileServiceConnection();
        
            connection.Url = @"http://<servername>/arcgis/services/<foldername>/<servicename>/MapServer/MobileServer"
            bool bjunk = connection.IsValid;
            FeatureLayer flCR = myMobileCache.Layers["NSMobile_CR"] as FeatureLayer;
            connection.GetFeatureCount(flCR,null);

The connection.IsValid test returns true, but the connection.GetFeatureCount returns the connection error.

I have the device connected to my laptop via Mobile Data Center.

any help is appreciated

Actually one of my coworkers figured this out, turns out it was an internal network DNS issue.

A simple fix was to just use the ip address in the url

connection.Url = @"http://<IP Address>/arcgis/services/<foldername>/<servicename>/MapServer/MobileServer"
