Live Search on Verizon DSL WIFI WEP

Sorry if I offended you on the verbal usage of you being non-technical but that was how I took everything. I didn’t mean to strike a nerve seriously.

As for the “press the autoconfig button”, you must be using Linksys and speaking with India. UGH! And yes the specs on the 6700 are 802.11b only and not G so you must run the router in B only or mixed mode. That one gets a lot of people.

Before you get into doing an IP Passthru or disabling all encryption let me ask you a question. I understand you can connect and surf on the 6700 using WiFi and WEP and that when doing this you cannot use Live Search. It has been brought up about disabling WEP and other software/hardware configurations but before you get into all of that can you go to a mall or store or drive down the road and pick up an open unsecured WiFi spot and not only connect and surf BUT ALSO use Live Search?

IF NOT, then there is NO reason to go through all the motions of trouble shooting and reconfiguring your home network. If you cannot do it somewhere else on another network then it isn’t your network that is the issue either.

Another thing, the quickest way to solve an OS issue on a computer is sometimes to format the HDD and start over. There is just less time involved in doing a quick format and reloading of the OS than there is in finding error codes or going through a knowledgebase, ECT.

So I say that to say this, because I just cannot understand how this is a software related issue solely on Live Search and nothing else, it is MY suggestion to back everything up using PIMBackup and Active Sync and do a hard reset on the device which will wipe all contacts, all photos and pics, all personal ringtones, ECT and install an OEM ROM from your carrier. After the installation of the new OEM ROM do another hard reset to get a clean slate and THEN install nothing else but Live Search. From that point connect via WiFi with WEP on your own network and tell me what you get.

You will be getting a fresh ROM with nothing but one application and I BET it will work. Once you have that working you can proceed with other apps OR go back to WM6 and try again.

Let me know how it goes.
