There is no way to tell the phone which connection to use.

I've previously debugged this by connecting the device/phone to the PC but then disconnecting the PC from the internet.
That should get you what you're after.

You can't. The best thing to do is to disconnect the USB cable because the phone will still think that it is connected (it is still able to ping Zune and does not receive the same network connection changed events)

This makes it impossible to debug so I resolved to add logging to my DEBUG builds.

Try by closing the Zune.exe in desktop (or laptop) and run WPConnect.exe And then try to debug.

Normally in x86 system WPConnect.exe resides in

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\WPConnect\x86

path or in 64bit system it will be in the x64 folder.
