Simulate no network with Visual studio 2012 tablet emulator

Question

I am currently writing a WinRT application that has some network access to retrieve various details, I need to be able to simulate conditions when there is no network, or a very slow network to ensure that the app works as it should under these conditions.

How do I get the tablet emulator that is part of Visual Studio 2012 to simulate these conditions?

Cheers, Rupert

To simulate "no network" you have to disable the networking on the host computer. It seems that the simulator shares the network with the host.

In regards to a slow network connection, you likely have to do this on the host again. See this post: Network tools that simulate slow network connection
