Hello,
I'm using an Alpine with all the ROMs and whatnot as they came in the box (aside from the camera program, which I replaced with one from another device) to connect to one of my university wireless LANs and go on MSN. I connect to the network just fine, websites work normally.
However, when I start up MSN it just stays on the connecting phase.
I know that the MSN port isn't blocked by the university because my friends can get on it just fine with their laptops.
I'm not sure what other details to include, so if I've missed anything out don't hesitate to let me know. Does anyone know a solution to my problem?
Thanks

Newbie here
I have just gotten the AT&T Tilt.
It seems to be working fine overall, however when I am trying to connect to MSN (Live) Messenger through a WiFi connection, it apparently is not allowed, as it says "cannot connect via WiFi connection)...? Is this normal? Is there ANY way to get arround this? I just don't know if I'll keep the PDA plan forever and it would be easier for me to just connect via tha WiFi wherever available.
Thanks in advance.
(I did a search already and did not see any posts regarding this so I assumed no one has this issue...or cares...?

I have the Kaiser (very similar to the tilt) and Messenger works just fine against WiFi. What version do you have?
I was fairly certain the AT&T ROM for the Tilt removed Live messenger.. did you download it from thread on here or something?
The att ROM did remove windows live all together. You would need to install it. I have a feeling he is trying to use the OZIM program which doesn't use data, it uses text messaging. So when you are connected to Wifi it won't connect.
hmm...actually I didn't download/install anything onto the phone yet. It is an AT&T Tilt with no mods (yet)...and when i hit "instant messaging", it has the three messenger programs as icons (AOL, MSN or Live, and Yahoo).
If I do want to install it, where can I go to get it and would that installed version also be using TXTMessaging or data?
Got a little bit of a bizzarre one, when i install BBC (Blackberry connect) to my kaiser (both BIS and BES) the device will function fine, but as soon as i use the email setup wizard it messes things up.
The email connection wizard is using internet explorer.
After i exit this, my internet explorer get confused and wont work!
I try viewing a web page and it pretends to look, but does nothing. i refresh it says complete but does nothing.
Yet ive installed opera mobile and mini, both work ok, getting a data connection at the same time as the blackberry is not an issue.
But i cant figure for the life of me why this email set up wizard has killed my explorer.
I could uninstall blackberry and start again, but my IT department wont be chuffed if i request my BES password again for the third time in a week!
If anyone knows of a way to make the internet explorer work again that would be great!
same issue
Got the same issue - think it might be an issue with the BBC software itself. I tried to view a company internal website - which I think tried to use the BB web browsing connection + hey preso IE doesnt' work anymore.
Exactly the same symptoms - IE pretends to look for a site but returns nothing. Marvellous - glad to hear Opera works - just downloading it now.
John.
I've got BBC (bis) and internet working fine on my Tytn II.
Do you have a seperate data contract for the internet. I think that the connection that bbc sets up is just for emails.
Mind you I only have a BIS account.
So my Blackberry connection is more or less permanently connected and my emails come through as and when. If I then load IE the phone will attempt to connect to my contract internet data connection (should wi-fi not be available) and surf the web.
This all works ok, check your settings for IE to see what connection its using for surfing.
Cheers
Hi!
I'm having trouble using my tytn II as a modem in windows vista. I had no problems in windows xp but since i installed windows vista and use internet sharing application this is what happens:
I get connected and a new networkadapter (NDIS) is detected
I recieve a local ip-adress of 169.xxx...
This is making me crazy and i've searched the forum without beeing able to find anyone with the same problem...what am i doing wrong??
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
I understand, you use it with USB cable, may be using it with Bluetooth will be better, because in this case Windows will recognize it as a modem.
Please provide some more information about how did you make the configuration.
Did you make it as it was described in the user guide?
Hi!
I did make the configuration exactly as the manual describes it and my device is syncing correctly and everything. It even installs as a network driver when i use the internet sharing application. But it just wont give me an ip-address...
I've had this issue for over a month now and it feels like vista is blocking the service or something, but i just cant figure it out...
PLEASE advise!
I have the same Problem as you !
As a matter of fact, I have an ip but vista says that I'm connected to local network but not to the Internet.
But at the same time I have an illimited data plan that runs perfectly when using Pocket ie...
Still searching for a solution...
But i'm sure it comes from vista...
megaman
No problems!
Hi guys.
Ive used this feature with vista with no problems at all..
Just turned internet sharing on and it connected to the network connection then vista aked me what kind of network it was (Home, Work Place etc) and hey presto it worked.
Mine is a T-Mobile Vario iii btw.
Never really had a problem either though it's much too slow compared to a "real" USB-3G/HDSPA-modem. (I max out at 1.2-1.8 mbit/s but when I use my dedicated modem I easilly reach 4 mbit/s)

Yeah this is killing me! I get the same as you, i get a IP-address but its a local one 169.xxx.xxx.xxx and vista says its a local ip-address...
I've started looking for services that may be stopped and such in Vista, but i still cant get it to work
I also can't get it to work, so if my WiFi goes out and i need internet, i just reboot to XP... Obviously not a solution, it's very annoying. I'd love to figure this out. I think my friend said he got it working, i should get details from him!

Guys, this is not the solution, BUT, until someone finds it, this is a awesome way to get around the problem! Just install the application, start it and tap connect. Now on your computer you'll find a new adhoc network using wifi, connect to it and your ready to go!

okay i use blackberry connect with my tilt and i would like a aim yahoo and msn program that will run on the blackberry connect apn. everytime im loggged in to blackberry connect on the tilt and i go to use im+ its signs me out of bb connect and signs me into media net to use im+. i would like a instant message pogram that works on the bb connect apn or a app that will allow me to edit the connections for the app. help
WOW so you posted almost the same thing here as you did in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378736
But Yet, it's still a little different.
I use Slick and while looking through some settings it lets you pick what connection you use. SO, I don't have BB connect, there for I can't test it buuuuuut I'm thinking it works though.

Question About AT&T Tilt
any way to run blackberry edge for blackberry connect and the media net gprs 3g connections at the same time so i can have blackberry connect running online and say a third party app like an instant messenger program??
currently if i use IM+ it will sign me out of blackberry connect and into media net and i would leike to stay in bb connect and IM+ at the same time. any suggestions?
ive seen some threads out there about how to edit the tilts connections to allow the blackberry vpn so when you use blackberry connect you can use other third party apps that will still use the apn blackberry instead of the media net and sign you out of blackberry edge. the setting dont work and none of the thrid party apps work so does anyone have any ideas what to do to make this work?
I laugh at you. I am trying to be nice mods. I spent a bit of time trying to help this newbie.
Sir/Mam please read what the mod posted in one of your other 2 threads, and then please read the post I made in your thread that got moved to software (where it belonged). Then try the software I suggested.
LOCK'ER DOWN
CLINK!
Indeed. Post your question ONCE and in the correct forum and thread!!
One Mod has already closed a thread, and I have already merged two of your threads as they asked the same/similar question!!
Also if your question is about Blackberry, then a new thread (IF ONE IS NEEDED) should say so in the thread title.
Mike
thank you i will try this and see what happenes. im new to the forums so i dont know all the rules. sorry about the double posts and what not. sorry mods
so i get this error trying to connect
error!
auth faild.socket error host not found. error number 11001
you need to try to go to the menu, then configuration, scroll down to Access Point and then change to whatever method you need. If that doesn't work then I don't know what else to tell ya.
ya it only works on the media net connection setting not the my blackberry connection which is what im trying to do so bbconnect will always be connected and i can have slick running as well.
You've been registered with the forum for 15 months, that isn't new to the forum.
You should be asking these questions in a blackberry connect thread. Heck, you might even find your solution already listed in one of those threads.
Hi
I've been trying to get a good msn setup, and I'm not from the US so I can't use the built in stuff. I use auto reconnect (and I'm addicted to it, I'm on 8 different networks) on my main computer, so any client that requires me to be online at only one point is uninteresting.
Right now I got a jabber server setup, that I connect to with jabiru. That way I can be connected both on the computer and on the cellphone. It works decently, although the android client is less reliable than I'd like.
I've know that you can use a jabber server to connect to gtalk and get all your contacts in gtalk, has anyone gotten this to work reliably? I've tried setting up my own server, and that worked fine, I can "register" my msn through my gtalk account, it just never shows up and does anything after that point.
Or are there any good msn clients/proxy solutions that'll allow me to be connected from two places at once? I've heard that newer msn's protocol versions allow it, however I don't use windows and I haven't in years, so I'm not on the latest protocol.
