Okay this is the last time I am responding to this thread. I can not help you, I know nothing about this, and you are very likely not going to get any help on this list.
You want me to say "try this?" All I can do is make up stuff. I HAVE NO IDEA. You people keep on accusing me of making this a "tit for tat" exchange, that I am somehow falling down on my duty by admitting I don't know instead of trying to come up with some solution, that I am being divisive. I have no intention of doing so. All I said originally was that it was unlikely that anyone on this list knows the answers to these questions, since people seemed to be getting upset that they were going unanswered. Well I am sorry I said anything. And I am not going to make another response to this particular issue, because it is a waste of everyone's time. As far as market relying on Google Sync -- all of the Google services funnel through a single underlying network connection that drives all of the sync tickles, updates, and everything else going on with the google services. If this doesn't work, they will all be stuck getting anything pushed from the google servers. Market operates by pushing to the device a request to install the app, so if you can't get those pushes, it won't install.
