Hi!
Network access using a BlackBerry simulator does not exist unless/until you also launch the MDS simulator. The BlackBerry JDE comes with a Preferences dialog that has a "Simulator" panel which provides a checkbox indicating "Launch Mobile Data Services (MDS) with simulator". If you're using Eclipse, I don't know what (or whether there is a) setting to do the same thing. You can always launch the MDS simulator by hand from the Start menu.
The MDS simulator comes with a configuration file in its "config" subdirectory. The configuration file "rimpublic.property" is a collection of settings for a variety of different things that MDS allows you to do. If you're doing this behind a corporate proxied firewall, you'll need to set the proxy settings in the configuration file to do the right thing. In addition, if you're setting up to do HTTPS, you may want to configure the MDS simulator to blindly accept any untrusted server - otherwise, you may have to deal with certificate acceptance and importing and all kinds of excitement like that (I've got a thread that I started back in April or May regarding the importing of certs on a handheld and just how challenging that process is).
Good Luck!
Cheers,
karl
