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?

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!
I've searched through the forums but can't find anyone with a similar issue so here goes...
I want to use my bluetooth connection to ActiveSync and use the pass through to the internet to use MSN Messenger but every time I try the XDA II wants to connect via GPRS.
I can access the internet through the pass through so I know it works I just can't use the pass through to get MSN working.
I've also tried using the USB link but again the XDA II wants to connect via GPRS, this leads me to believe that either it isn't impossible or there is a setting somewhere that I need to alter (but can't find) :?
Can anyone help?
Hello,
I can't tell you why yours isn't working, but I can assure you it CAN be done - Mine works, and I haven't had to change anything.
I'm using a proxy server, not that this should matter. Theoretically, if you can browse the net from the XDA via ActiveSync (USB or Bluetooth, either really), then Messenger should connect too.
Are you able to connect using messenger on the PC (not the XDA through the PC)? I'd start by confirming that you can run Messenger from the PC on your network, in case there's a firewall on your network which is blocking the Messenger Ports.
This article here details what ports must be available from behind a firewall.

Hope that helps.
Thanks for your reply.
I can happily run MSN Messenger on the PC without any problems (it is not usually connected to an LAN.
I did think it might be something to do with my software firewall. I have both the standard windows one (with XP Pro) running and Norton Personal Firewall 2003. So I tried stopping Norton and I still couldn't get Messengar to work on the XDA II, admitedly I forgot to stop the windows firewall as well, although I doubt that's the issue having read the first page of the link you posted, it appears that the standard IM messages will be unlikely to be stopped by a firewall as it just "rides on the TCP connection" and is infact using HTTP.
This leads me more to think that there is a setting somewhere either XDA II side or PC Activesync side (v 3.7 btw) that's causing the problem. Either that or the mobile MSN Messenger uses a different type of comms from the desktop version and uses a different port number, most unlikely?.
Any one any clues? I am starting to get very confused :?
P.S. - I've also tried a trial copy of IM+ to see if this would fix the problem but unfortunately I still can't use the MSN Messenger serivces through Activesync Pass Through.

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 can't access any site on the live.com domain from either Pocket IE or Opera. I have tried with all connection types. All other Internet apps work fine and I can access all other Internet sites without a problem from either IE or Opera.
I can access the sites via Opera Mini, but I don't want to use Opera Mini.
I have no problem accessing Windows Live Messenger/Hotmail via the Windows Live stand alone app and can sync over all connection types (WiFi, GPRS, USB).
I just get regular 'network problem' type message as if I've typed in an invalid address. I have tried all variants of the addresses, e.g. m.calendar.live.com, home.live.com, mobile.live.com, etc. I can't access the regular .live.com or the mobile-specific addresses.
Any ideas?
solved...i suppose
I solved this problem by flashing the newer PMSHL1 ROM. Now everything seems to be working perfectly...though I can't test GPS until I'm out of the city centre at work.
Even Windows Live works without using a hacked version, and Windows Live Search app works as well.
