MSN messenger on AT&T Tilt

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?

Use Internet Sharing via USB or Bluetooth if you laptop supports it. Works great. No need for cabs or anything. You may need Active Sync installed on your laptop (can't remember since I have it installed anyway).

what ecltech said. And YES you need activesync installed or else your pc won't realize your device and ask you to add new hardware. With activesync it updates the usb drivers to recognize that you are connecting your device and sharing its internet.
Haven't tried the Bluetooth way yes so I wouldn't have an answer for that one.

Thxs ill try it

Bluetooth works fine. When you configure the Bluetooth on your laptop use advance configuration so you can use the WAP setting. Otherwise it defaults to the modem and asks you for dial settings/etc.

using tytn II as modem in vista

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...

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!

Hello pulyka, I have this program installed on my Tilt, but my laptop doesn't see the Tilt's wifi connection when the program says its connected.
Am I missing something?

You aren't the only one. I've never been able to get it to work on my Tilt, when I used to use it all the time on my Mogul.

I hear now this program costs money. If no guarantee for tilt compatibility, can refunds be granted if it doesn't work?

I must say that the IT manager at my job has this program installed on his Tilt and it works fine. He actually used it in a meeting the other day when the main signal was too weak.
He is just so busy that I haven't been able to have him check out my phone, to see what is the problem. So there is some hope for Tilt owners and WMWIFIRouter.

Worked fine on my Tilt running Sleuth 3.0 Rom.
Try the earlier version, it is still free and it works fine (just a little less polished).

I tried the WMWiFiRouter .91 once. My tilt took too long to connect to the ad hoc network so I stop using it. I think that's the problem. You have to wait until your phone to connect to the network before the router starts working.

Windows Live

I have had a few issues with my windows live and i am wondering if anybody can help me. I recently downloaded windows live and i am able to syncronize everything and log onto my messenger via wifi or activesync but not able to through GPRS. I dont know if i may have downloaded the wrong .cab file or havent done something to make it work. I would appreciate any help regarding this subject.
thanx in advance

Here is a Windows Live version wich has been fixed by one of our forum members.
This fixed version allows you to use WLM via GPRS, And it'll be displayed on the home screen. Properly i mean

Excellent thank you im going to xfer it to my phone and see what outcome i get. Thank you very much.

Well i have tried to apply the appication and it did go through however i tried to access Windows Live throught the GPRS but it is only able to access through wifi and activesync... I'm thinking the reason why is because i dont have the T-mobile internet i have the proxy settings and t-zones. i am still able to access any website but not able to get the windows live to work properly... im stumped.
