Windows Live won't connect through wifi

[zen123]

Loaded the official Dopod WM6 rom onto my SPV M700. Gone through all the settings but can't get Windows Live & Messenger to connect through wifi even though wifi is activated. It will always connect through 3G. I tried deleting the 3G wap settings & activated wifi but then it won't connect at all instead saying it an't find an active internet connection.

Anyone got theirs working over wifi & can lend a bit of help. Thanks

It must be some settings issue cause my P3600 is working fine connecting to Live messenger through WiFi!

I have same problem. can't figure out the reason..

Had the same issue.

The cause in my case was that I did not follow the instructions of my provider. I forgot to configure the vodafone proxyserver.

Internet worked, mail worked but Windows Live would not connect.

After I configured my proxyserver everything worked great.

Would these proxy settings affect the VPN options too?

Everytime I try and connect to work even though WiFi is on the VPN connection always trys to use the gprs or 3g connection. Really really annoying..

I am still using WM5 and 2 different versions of WM5 have given me similar problems which I have not been able to solve yet. I have to use a proxy and even though I configure the proxy correctly, I can not access the internet. I have done the same configurations on the HTC TyTN and a Imate Jamin and they have no problems. I have delayed upgrading to WM6 due to all the problems others are having.

OK I did a hard reset no programs loaded & just configured the wifi. Tried connecting to Windows Live, Messenger & Hotmail through wifi worked fine.

Then I entered operator settings exactly as I had it before upgrading to WM6. With wifi still active I again tried connecting to the above but it still insists on connecting over 3G.

I went in Connections Settings & removed the MY ISP settings (which were O2 3G setting) & tried again. Even with wifi still active it would still look for the 3G settings & as I had deleted them it would not connect at all.

Really need to sort this out as I don't have an unlimited data plan (crappy O2 tariffs) but I can't get it to WL to connect over wifi.

How? I simply followed the instruction given by my provider.

My D810 even tries to connect to my 3G/GPRS on soft reset so I suspect it may have something to do with my Contacts with all these Windows Live Messenger contacts - it doesn't connect after I remove the Windows Live account from the phone.

The only way I can find to stop it from connecting to my 3G connection and connect through Wi-Fi is to force it to use anything but a connection to my mobile service provider:

Well after much messing about I reverted back to as default as I could using Mozzer's rom for Orange UK. Tried the vpn settings straight away and it worked perfectly, I can only assume that maybe in Mun's rom there are some settings missing that Orange UK doesn't like missing as that is the only difference on the phone now.

I've given up. Tried everything but Windows Live & Messenger still won't connect over wifi it will only connect over 3G. I'll just have to resist using Messenger & checking my Hotmail messages.

Other than this problem the Dopod SEA WM6 rom is brilliant. Nice & fast & very stable. TomTom is fast & smooth works flawlessly. Had no lock ups or crashes.

Try turning off the phone, leaving only the wifi on, sign in and turn phone back on again, works for me.

My unit is doing the same thing. What i did is connecting to WIFI first. Right after, i click on Windows Live, my unit will try to connect to GPRS. What i do is cancelling the connection and my unit will start using WIFI connection. The only way to stop it using GPRS and using WIFI right now is cancell the connection before it connects.

F.Y.I.

Yeah works a treat this method. Just hope I remember to turn the phone back on afterwards
