Hi Carol and everyone Problem sorted now *smile*. I had to do a little more tweeking with the Wireless options list and had to do a restart to try and get both the router and wireless card to like each other - its done now and I'm surfing! Thanks all for your help Ian. iancbev@xxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: 19 September 2006 08:32 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: BrailleNote and the Internet Ian, Please elaborate on your setup - what's the router? Do you hear the words "Connected to . . ..?", then what happens? Don't give up; we'll keep going and I'll start asking in the right places when we're stuck. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Beverley" <iancbev@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 10:35 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: BrailleNote and the Internet > Hi Carol > > Thanks for this.
