MSN Messenger through Bluetooth

[icarusbop]

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:
