AIM 2.0 for Pocket PC 2002 using Siemens SX56 and AT&T Wirel
I just purchased AIM 2.0 for Pocket PC 2002 for my brand new Siemens SX56 wireless PDA with AT&T Wireless service. The machine can surf the web no problem using the wireless GPRS connection. However, I cannot access AOL instant messaging service with this new software I just purchased from Handango (AIM's Reseller) for $19.95. Upon Handango's suggestion, I have reinstalled the software, but I keep getting the immediate error message each and every time when I try and connect, which is: "unable to establish a connection". I have had AOL and AT&T wireless support on the the phone on a conference call and they basically speak different languages and thus could not help me. They both say that neither one of them supports AIM. I don't want to be forced to accept a refund on this product since it is critical to my job. Do you folks have any suggestions? Unfortunately, Handango couldn't help either since they don't support AIM; they just sell it (strange). I have read all the FAQ's available and nobody can help thus far. It appears to be some sort of "port" or "host" problem or "proxy" problem. Basically, I need the CORRECT INFO to put into the AIM SOFTWARE SETTINGS and AT&T wireless gave me a port number of 9203 and an IP address of 010.250.250.250 and that did not work. Then we tried to check off Proxy and we put "localhost" as the Host and 9203 as the port again checking off socks4 but that didn't work either. We have verified a strong GPRS connection since the phone has no problem accessing internet sites such as Google via the wireless GPRS connction. Basically, I need to know a step by step process to set up AIM 2.0 for pocket PC 2002 on the Seimens SX56 with AT&T Wireless mMode service. Please Advise.
Thanks
