problem with live messenger on wm 6

[mrmrmrmr]

whenever I want to sign in to msn live messenger, my hermes tries to connect to gprs connection. even when I have free direct access to internet through wifi connection.
I tried everything but it still tries to connect.
Apart from live messenger I can connect to every type of internet service through the active wifi connection.
Is this a bug o the live messenger ?
Is there any newer version that beats this bug ?

I believe that it is a "feature" of WLM that no user actually wants but the network operators are quite happy with and probably had a say in.

Best workaround I know of is to have a network set up with no connections defined, and select that in Settings > Connections tab > Connections > Advanced tab > Select Networks. You may already have a network defined there called "Wifi" (my Orange M3100 did).

If you do that, all apps will be forced through wifi (if enabled), but if you want to use GPRS, you will have to switch the network back.

Anyone know of any apps that will make it quick and easy to change this with a single button click? I hoped that Phoneweaver would have it in the profiles but it doesn't :(

Disconnect from grps...then sign in to msn... then click cancel when it says "connecting"

Disconnect from grps...then sign in to msn... then click cancel when it says "connecting"

interesting, it works.
but if I reset, then connect to gprs for any other reason.
and then disconnect.
then it never connects to msn with no gprs connection.
after a reset it works again.

thanks for the workaround...
