Messenger & Remote Display together

[Guest En_croute]

I use MS remote Display to show my MDA Compact on the screen. (It like PcAnywhere). This allows me to type text messages from the PC Keyboard - it's very useful when in the office ;)

We cannot use Messenger on our corporate network, all suitable ports are blocked. :cry: So Messenger via USB does not work in the office (it does at home).

Hence I connect by GPRS. However as soon as I connect to USB, the GPRS disconnects. I have Internet bound connections set to GPRS, and Private Network to "My Work Network", but as Messenger CAN connect by private AND Internet , it always tries to connect via USB, and promptly disconnects from GPRS. :x

Any way of getting round this - Messenger by stylus, at work, is not feasible. :D

Can you plug it into the PC first, then connect to the GPRS?

Why not just use MSN Web Messenger (on your desktop PC)?

It's Messenger but over the web (using the standard web port)

I'd never heard of it - Thanks - I'll try next week when I'm back in the office.
