Strange...
With my configuration:
- Windows Live Messenger from the Trinity refuses to connect (probably due to port blocking)
- Windows Live Messenger from a PC connected through the Trinty (using the same connection -with the same blocked ports-) works perfectly.
Does the WLM "Mobile" need more ports than the WLM "Desktop"???

It is an intelligent question...we can't sign in WLM because we have, for example, a router and we must open the port inside for the problem with router firewall.

WTF!

I was thiking about server and proxy configuration: maybe there is a registry key to connect directly to MSN server without any proxy to bypass server limitation...
Other point: Anyone is using OZPocketPC messenger?
Thankyou in advance for your replies!

Do only italians have this issue??

Vidafone IT, same problem, unable to connect.

Spanish too
I'm spanish and have this problem too.
I think that we all are people using cheap price plans that block some ports different than 80, 443, 110 and so on.
As WLM on the device tries to connect to 1863, it does not work.
Microsoft should update WLM Mobile to work with standards ports as they did with WLM Desktop.

Alfredo

But we all have this problem also using wifi.. so I don't think it's a matter of ports blocked by providers...

yes, you are right.
wifi doesn't work as well.

wlm mobile only uses 2 ports:
the 443 to login (normal)
and the 50001 for the communications (it seems to be ssl)
(CONNECT tcp.mws.mobile.live.com:50001)
the server "tcp.mws.mobile.live.com" and the port "50001" are stored in the registry "HKLM/Services/Windows Live/Platform/Transport/"
i already saw a connection in http.mws.mobile.live.com (maybe when tcp is unvailable) but i didn't remember the port used

guys, is there by any chance that you all installed SPB pocket plus 4, mobile shell 1.5 and phone suite? previously i installed these programs and i cant connect to WLM. now i hard reset, tested WLM and it connected. Installed SPB PP 3.2 and the WLM still working. didnt go any further.

WiFi Fix

Hey guys, I was a victim of the Defy's WiFi problem too a day ago. So I thought it was problem of my router and not Defy's because I purchased it the same day I observed this problem. So I found this topic and thought that it wasn't my router alone plus I wasn't alone experiencing this problem. Later, I found that there's some misconfiguration somewhere in both of the hardware (my phone and the router). So, I managed to fix it now, and guess what no drop-outs of WiFi! I tested my phone's connectivity by using WiFi on my phone this whole night, I am not sure if I'll get this problem again, so consider it as a not-so-much-tested-fix.
Now lets get to business:
Open your router's settings. In most cases the page can be accessed by opening 192.168.1.1 in your web browser, In my case my router is D-Link DSL-2640U.
Look-up for DHCP RESERVATIONS LIST and click Add, fill up a small form which requires following information:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next task is to find Defy's MAC, you can get it in Settings / Wireless and network / Wi-Fi settings / Press menu button, and you'll see an Advanced option, tap it and the third option in there is your MAC address.
Now fill the exact MAC address into that form and press Apply.
Now in your Defy's advanced WiFi panel check the Enable auto IP option.
Now change your network mode to B/G instead of B/G/N, in your router's settings, or the best option would be change encryption to WEP as it only supports B/G network types and is widely compatible with most of the mobile devices.
After changing the modes, click Apply then unplug your router from the main source and switch off your Defy.
Plug-in the router to the mains and let all the ADSL and other lights get stable, in short; wait for 2 minutes after plugging in the router.
Start up your Defy, enable WiFi in your phone and set-up new router's settings onto your phone.
Voila! If you have stable connection then otherwise

Hope this guide helps you.
Note: I don't take any guarantee that this method works and I don't take any responsibility for your modem not working properly after doing these steps.

Can't we just make some changes in the system of defy?

I am not one of the developers, so I am not sure. But yeah, 1 full day my Defy on WiFi and no drop-outs.

tether galaxy s2 to ps3?

Possible? My phones rooted. Full 4g signal. Thanks

Does ps3 have built in wifi? I'm not sure, if it does then try the mobile hotspot built into Android, if your carrier doesn't allow that then try barnicle tether or open garden tether, both on market. They use ad-hoc wifi so idk if ps3 will like that. If so (or if ps3 doesn't have built in wifi) , connect a computer to the hotspot and internet connection share over Ethernet to the ps3.
Finally, if your carrier blocks tethering, you'll need to connect your phone to a vpn before all of that, which will hide all your traffic from the carrier.
Hope that helps

Not sure exactly what you are asking but you may want to try/ look into:
Settings-->Wireless and network-->Wi-Fi Direct Settings (if your PS3 is connected to your home internet network I think, I may be wrong here?? check this youtube) =
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCEawDprnOQ
or
AllShare App that comes stock with GS2....works with PS3 to connect via DLNA (DLNA is wireless like bluetooth or wifi)
Sorry if you were looking to just connect your PS3 to the internet thru your phone... then use barnacle tether or whatever

Let's not complicate it...yes, connect like you would anything else

Eh nevermind. I tried about 10 different tethering apps. None work because ps3 doesn't use ad-hoc. I guess....thanks anyways.

It will work.
1. Setup a new APN you can use the epc.tmobile.com APN but rename it to Free Tether or something.
2. Be sure that its selected as your default.
3. Start the WiFi Hotspot that came with the phone. Set it up if you need to...ie SSID and Password.
4. Check to see if the PS3 recognizes the device.
Setting up the new APN stop the T-Mobile upsell page from coming on.
It should be something like this.

When my roommates failed to fork up their part of the internet bill I played battlefield 3 off my tether for a full month with minimal issues the connection was never a problem connect ps3 to your phone like any other wifi router provided you are using the built in wireless tethering functionality which can be enabeled if you are rooted by simply freezing or uninstalling the system "tethering manager" app.

[Q] S4 tethering to a Draytek router

Anyone know how I can attach a Galaxy S4 mini to a Draytek 2820n router?
I'll give a bit of background that might explain why I'm trying to do what I'm doing.
I'm a heavy internet user. I live somewhere that I cannot get a decent ADSL connection (download speed is about 256Kb/s) never mind fibre. However, do have a good 3G (HSDPA) connection with three.co.uk. Have a Draytek 2820n router so I can use a 3G dongle via the router's USB so in essence the whole house has a fairly rapid internet connection. Only problem is that three's mobile broadband plans limit you to 15GB cap per month.
I've got a Galaxy S4 on monthly contract which gives unlimited (All You Can Eat) data and allows tethering.
I've been able to successfully connect wifi devices to the S4 via wifi tethering and use the internet but it's a pain having to switch wifi connections if I want to control an XBMC server on my LAN, for instance. What would be ideal is to have the router distribute the S4's internet around. I can't just put the SIM in a mobile dongle as three have a way of blocking that (something to do with IMEI recognition) and I don't want to risk trying it.
Anyone got any ideas how I might be able to go about this. The Draytek router has various settings you can put into the 3G setup - I've attached a screenshot. I've tried various things but nothing works and I'm not sure how to access the router's debugging output. I set the S4 with USB debugging on in the developer settings. Wondering if there is something I can do that is fairly straightforward on the S4 so that I can try some generic dial string settings on the router to see if that works. I'd read something about putting the S4 into USB Kies mode but I don't seem to have that option.
My other thought was I might be able to leave the S4 in wifi tethering mode and somehow bridge this with my router but that would probably screw up my LAN DHCP assignments as I'd have to switch the router DHCP off and then I would be limited to 10 connections.
Sorry it's a bit long and complex. Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks

You might try posting in the correct forum. This isn't it.

Thanks. Didn't realise there were more forums - the landing page just took me to a selection and I thought this was the closest match!

where did you post? and did you get an answer?
Have you looked into the DLINK DIR506L?

Unlimited data on VZW, can I tether to my router?

I can already do it via PDA Net (or FoxFi) via a USB connection or wirelessly if I use a pin lock instead of knock code... but what about hooking directly to my router.
I have an ASUS RT-AC66U (AC66R) router and it says it supports tethering via an Android phone:

I used to do it with my s3 but I had a custom router with that ran Linux

I used to do it with my Asus RT-N16 and I believe G2 at the time. The problem you run into is that today's high end phones draw more power than a USB 2.0 port can put out, so the phone will end up dying even if plugged in. I was able to get it to work though, I just put my phone in wired tether mode.

Wired tether wants a tethering subscription... that's why I have to use FoxFi as a workaround.

Do you have root? If yes, follow the instructions by @geoff5093 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/how-to-enable-native-hotspot-unlimited-t3166435
It should also work for usb tethering.

I'm not rooted but I'll probably end up going that route.
I just don't get what information the router is looking for. When I dial #777 on my phone I get an error message from verizon.

If you can get your phone into wired tethered mode, I don't believe you need that information.
