Windows Live Messenger Problem

[JWhirl06]

I recently went through the whole spiel to flash Faria's new ROM to my Wizard, everything worked out great and I love the rom and all of its little goodies and doodads but there's one thing that does bother me and I'm sure there's a simple soultion....

Windows Live Messenger will not connect over WiFi, it always tried to get on my EDGE/GPRS for some reason, and when i used it with EDGE everything worked great? Any ideas or solutions?

Try connecting to messenger with the phone switched off but with wifi connected. It will use the only available connection. You can turn the phone radio back on once connected and it will still use wifi.

i had this issue too. since i NEVER use gprs (i don't have a data plan, do not intend to get one, and don't won't the bill if i use it), i reflashed and refused the carrier customization. without customization, my phone has no gprs connection configured and won't even try to connect via gprs.

I´m using TNT 19199.1.0.0 and Windows Live Messenger 10.6.0034.0800
I´m not able to connect thru Wi-Fi neigther. I´ve tryied disabling the phone radio and enabling the wi-fi only. Doing this, I can surf the web, and even log into messenger but on the internet explorer brownser (really bad), but still the Windows Live Messenger won´t connect. It would try to do it, even for some time (1 minute at least) but then it would give an error.

Even I can´t chech the hotmail messages using wifi, on the windows live messenger application, still i can log into hotmail on the web-brownser.

It´s seems that the Windows Live is trying to connect only using the GPRS data, regardless if there´s no GPRS data session, or even the Phone Radio turned off, and even with the nice Wi-Fi connection up and running fine.

Any different approach?
