I have just installed Pocket PC 2003 on my pocket pc. However I cannot get internet explorer or Messenger to work. I am tried to set my GPRS for (O2 -UK) and the phone appears to be connected. However, when I run messenger I get the following message:
Logon to MSN messenger service failed because the service could not be found. please make sure that you are connected to the internet.
When I try to browse the net.. I get "page cannot be found" message.
Any Ideas guys - What am I doing wrong?
Can someone confirm how to set up the O2 uk connections in Pocketpc 2003.
Thanks
Ron
With AT&T at least in the US, you need to remove the proxy server...I did that after getting the same error message & now it works!

hey guys
now im having probelms with msn messenger.
i use WAP to connect as i get free WAP minutes from genie/o2, iv set it up according to the instructions from genie/o2 and browsing web pages works fine.
however when i come to sign in to msn, it gives me a message sayin "Cannot locate the Proxy server" so i input the Proxy server's IP address into the Edit My Proxy Server menu in the Connections, that genie/o2 gave me and it gives me the same message.
any ideas?
thanks
you cant only use basic internet on pay&go.. you have to have a contract to use msn messenger or anyhting else that isnt http
i could use msn fine when i had my XDA 1 and i had exactly the same SIM card
is Is possible to do it as I have the same sim card and it works.
Although it WONT work at all through GPRS, only CSD.
However, recently ive been having problems signing in myself. saying "Logon to MSN messenger service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
This is rubbish cause it works fine from my pc and its worked before. aaaaaaaaargh!
Any tips? I'm sure I have everything set up perfectly, but it just won't download any web pages. Is there something i'm missing?
I can download my e-mails fine (Hotmail, and IMAP) but can't get any web pages open using eather IE or Opera.
Cheers
Try disabling proxy on your GPRS/EDGE connection first (take note of the settigns first). I haven't been able to do anything using Activesync Passthru.
It was allready disabled.
I've just done a hard reset, and it still won't connect with a fresh Activesync connection. Any ideas?
ACTIVE SYNC AND INTERNET
Under options in ACTIVE SYNC---you have to have THIS COMPUTER CONNECTS TO INTERNET .
Thanks, but it's allready ticked.
Anything else?
hi!
Use tweaks2k2.net or any other program that enables the browser pass as IE 6.0.. just try
ACTIVE SYNC AND INTERNET
I've also had problems if my OUTLOOK inbox is set to my POP MAIL ACCOUNT (YAHOO). When I check outlook mail for some reason it connects.
Also--what are your connection settings to get to INTERNET for your GPRS and WORK settings unrelated to active sync?

hi
Well, matheprat im just guessing if this is right... but i have encounter this problem wherein i can't load any web page on my ppc..theres an option on tweaks2k2 where you can chage PPC IE as IE 6.0 Well It will not totally chage but it will make your browser pass like an IE 6.0.. just try and let me know if you've done it
Thanks for the reply. I tried doing the above, and there's no change, I still can't connect. Every time I connect the PPC to Activesync I get a message saying that it's unable to find a server assigned IP. Ive tried using a specific IP (my computers), and leaving it to obtain one from the server, but neither work. When it was connecting before, i set it to obtain an IP from the server.
I also can't update the weather info for SPB Pocket Weather, but I can check e-mails (hotmail and IMAP), and sign into MSN on the device.

Hi i'm on t-mobile and have the MDA compact (original) running windows mobile 2003 (PPC2003) and i'm just wondering if windows live messenger is available for it? and also if anyone has had a problem with msn messenger saying "Logon to MSN Messenger Service failed because the service is not responding. Please try again later. It works fine when i connect with activesync to my pc via usb, it just doesnt work when it is not connected to my pc...
Hey there, I have the same set-up as you and everything works fine.
Have you tried the following link as an alternative way to access:
http://mobile.live.com/wlm/imsi.aspx
Let us know how it goes.
yeah i can access windows live via internet explorer, but i wondered if their was an installable version for PPC2003.
As far as I'm aware there are no installable MSN Messenger files available or upgrades for that matter.
Hi guys i have an O2 exec with a WM5 ...but the pocket MSN isn't working..I downloaded Fring and still not working..I also downloaded the Windows live 10.6 of WM6.1 and sitll it didn't work..it alwys tell me make sure there is a connection..i think there is something wrong with the connections..although when Im connected by wi-fi i can surf the web with internet explorer..so if anyone could help me I'll be greatful..thanks
Go through: Start/Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks and set the first drop down box as My Work Network and be sure your wifi connection is set as Work and not The internet.
still...
I don't have a "my work network" settings...what should I do ??...and that's because i use wap also..what should i do ...will downloading a new ROm be the Answer??
mmm... if you're using wap/gprs, try setting the above description from Scotchy fo MY ISP... that should be your user defined wap connection.... maybe this will help, maybe not, I don't have your OS.
i have a bluetooth connection to my pc.
the internet is shared so i can access internet on my mobile.
i would like to use windows live messenger on my WM6 mobile threw bluetooth connection.
internet explorer can access web pages so the connection is working.
but i get this error from windows live.
"Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet connection. Pleas check your Internet settings and make sure that you have access to data services under your billing plan. If you need help, please contact your mobile service provider."
i get same error when trying to use windows live via activesync using usb connection.
i was able to get fring to work using active sync. but fring is a pain to use. no groups and its hard to tell who my contacts are if they change their display name.
i would just like to use windows live messenger.
how do i get windows live to work with bluetooth or activesync? preferably without using activesync and just using a bluetooth network.
never had any problems getting msg to work over an activesync connection
try
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
and make sure your home network is selected rather then your isp
and if that don't help I'd sugest getting a different version of msg as some of them don't work with anything but gprs
okay thanks, ill try some different versions
i have tried the version that comes with my phone, samsung i780. and the latest version form microsoft site. they did not work for me.
does anyone have a link to a version they know that works threw activesync?
