I have 2 sim cards with data plans, each displaying different behaviour:
web n walk professional:
cannot connect to MSN via Windows Messenger on laptop
CAN connect to MSN via Messenger on Kaiser
cannot connect to MSN via Trillian on laptop
cannot connect to ICQ via Trillian on laptop
web n walk plus:
CAN connect to MSN via Windows Messenger on laptop
cannot connect to MSN via Trillian on laptop
CAN connect to ICQ via Trillian on laptop
Anyone have any idea why it's inconsistent? Surely the Windows Messenger and Trillian are both connecting to messenger.hotmail.com : 1863
Ideas?
Have you checked if your connection works through a proxyserver? I had all sorts of connection problems when I turned the proxy on...
I have had same problem with vodaphone. I mailed them that msn did not want to connect when proxy was on. They advised me to simply turn off the proxy on my phone.
Greetings from a vastloper from holland.
if you read the terms of use with the different services you will see that the different packages allow for differnt uses, ie voip & msn... also using the sim as a modem for a pc is prhibated with the lower tarriffs... you may find wifirouter as a nice work around

Hi All,
When I connect via BT with Activesync. When I set passtrough on activesync I should be able to surf using the PC's BroadBand connection I understand. My question is, will all other internet related traffic be send with the BT connection ? ie, will MSN Messenger and things like PocketIRC be able to connect via BT also ?
Thanks,
Rob.
as far as i know it should be possible just like you should be able to brows the LAN network the pc with activsync is connected to
OK - Can anyone help with this....
I have a network at home and a server which controls access to the internet.
I have a bluetooth dongle on the server.
I connect my XDA II to the bluetooth network. I can then access the internet going throught the server. it all works fine.
BUT - MSN messenger on my XDA II will not connect to the messenger service unless I also connect to activesync over the bluetooth.
This would not be a problem, But my wife also has a unit, so currently we cannot both connect to MSN at the same time over the bluetooth network, as AS only supports one connection at a time.
Any ideas why this is happening, I thought MSN messenger was supposed to connect as long as it had an internet connection, not an AS connection??
Thanks.
when connected to bluetooth to activesync you cant connect to gprs
when connected to activesync you get the network from that
if you use vidcomm bluetooth stack you can connect using bluetooth without using activesync
and you get around the only 1 user connected to activesync issue
or of cause you can connect to 2 different computers
asuming you have more then 1
The only problem I am having, is getting msn to connect when using widcomm bluetooth. It simply tries to sign in for ages then reports that the service is temporarily unavailable.
The only way I can get it to work over the BT network is to connect to AS over the BT as well.
It then logs in first time.
Disconnecting the BT link to AS also disconnects messenger.
I don't want to use two computers : the BT is on my server because it is always switched on.
Surely as long as the unit can get to the internet it should connect to messenger, but it won't !!!
GGrrrrr!!! :evil:
I've got it to work once, and not sure how, but I want to use my WiFi Connection while my PDA is docked so I can use Pocket Controller and access it with my desktop.
Here's my situation. at work, our connection is locked down, but we have WiFi for visiting clients, that's wide open, I like to use Agile Messenger to chat with my friends but can only do so using the open WiFi, but I want to use my keyboard and monitor on my desktop so I connect to my pda using pocket controller.
The thing is... when I connect to wifi it works, then when I dock, my PDA creates a network conenction with my desktop, and it becomes primary, this kicking me off agile messenger... I've tried docking then wifi...same results
I'm running Windows Mobile 2005, windows xp and Active Sync 4.1
I've turned off all active sync connection settings, but I still need my pda to make a network connection with my desktop thus I can use pocket controller to controll and view it.
ideas?
On ActiveSync Options->Rules change Pass Through Connection to be "Work". Quite appropriate in this case ;-)
I have yet to test this, but in theroy.. or atleast my attempt to grasp the concept..
The USB/Data connection between my desktop/PDA via active sync will then only really be a bridge to my PC, and any and all Internet traffic will then travel through WiFi, as it will become the primary/only "Internet" enabled connection.
Sound right?
Yep, I really dislike the way WM has the concept of Internet and Work and even more hate the way that this cludge has been used by operators like O2 to provide an Internet GPRS account (Internet) and a WAP GPRS account (Work).
What I suggested definately works on 2003, but if your operator does the same as O2, you won't be able to receive MMSs.

I have activesync 4.1 with a window mobile 5 device, but I can't find this option...
I would like to keep my GPRS-connection open when i'm connected to my PC. But the same problem over here as the topicstarter
Hi,
Maybe I'm not looking in the right direction but:
I'm able to loggon to MSN Messenger without any problems if I use a GPRS connection. I have an @msn.com address and alreaddy deleted the AutoDomain registry key. Everything works like a charme.
If I try to connect through WIFI or and (ActiveSync) BlueTooth connection however after minutes of trying I get an error "Logon to MSN Messenger Service failed because the service is not responding". I need to try again later. Yeah right...
I can surf the internet or use an internet connection on any other program without any problems through both WIFI and BT.
Any ideas? I can't imagine T-Mobile did something to prevent the use of messenger without using their GPRS connection; it's flat fee.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Cacti
I'm using a shortcut to instmsgr.exe, and a few days ago I couldn't connect to MSN Messenger. I think the problem appeared after a hard reset.
I don't think your problem is the exact same problem as I had - I think mine wouldn't connect to MSN Messenger through activesync either. But here's what I did:
I had to log in once via "Pocket MSN" (pmsn.exe), after that it has worked to use the shortcut to insmsgr.exe.
I have a Samsung Omnia i900 on o2 uk.
I download weather data etc from internet when the phone is connected to my pc (win xp) using active sync as I haven't managed to get the wireless to work yet.
I have a yahoo and gmail account. I tried downloading my email to outlook (which is already installed on the phone) whilst connected to the internet via active sync but it doesn't recognise it and only wants to connect thru 3g etc.
As i don't have a data plan is there any way I download my email when phone is connected via active sync?
Many thanks
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network->choose my home network or work network or whatever it's called in the dropdownbox
then it will always use activesync or wifi for network
Worked a charm
Thanks
