Not at my end it wasn't. I had to search for it manually. I think the cause was the URL wrapping on two lines, but can't be too sure as when I copied the URL it still didn't work. I right clicked the link in Thunderbird and chose copy link location. My advice is to try and use a URL shortener. There are plenty to choose from but the idea is you type a long URL and it comes back with a shortened version.

Two things.
1. I had to search for the guide myself on Applevis.
2. Tried both pressing enter on the URL and copied it, and the guide's
home page came up instead of the actual guide.
Otherwise thank you for sharing.

Hi. A few days ago I asked how you use a pc as a wifi router for a
braillenote. I just figured it out and wanted to let you know how to do
it. This may be useful for people who do not have a wifi router but you
want to be able to use your Apex wirelessly or if you do have a wifi
router, but you do not know the password. This is using a windows xp pc,
but you can also do it with other versions of windows as well as on the
mac. Ok so I found this article on applevis when I was looking for
something else and I just stumbled across this article. I would never
have thought of looking on applevis for this, because it is mostly to do
with the pc, and applevis is for apple stuff, not pcs, but I guess it
does have to do with apple stuff because the person who wrote this
article said that they used there windows xp netbook to hook there iPod
up to the internet in a place where there was no wifi. It also works on
my Apex. So if you want to try it, go read the article at

www.applevis.com/guides/using-windows-xp-wi-fi-create-temporary-h
otspot-your-idevice. Some things to note are that even though I followed
the instructions in that article exactly, my network did not show up on
my Apex when I was done. So I did some troubleshooting on my own and
figured it all out. I turned the pc off and back on and logged in with
my username and password. The network still did not show up on my Apex.
So then I tried disconnecting the pc from my home router. Still, the
network I made on the pc still failed to show up on the Apex. So then I
went into the control panel and to network connections and found my wifi
card and clicked on that and went through the list of networks till I
got to the one I created. I put in the password for it and then
connected the pc to it. Then it worked. That part is not explained in
the article, so I thought I would mention it. Also the article did not
say if I should use shared or open, and I did not know what either of
those were, so after some googeling, I decided to just use shared,
because it sounded more secure. I also did not know the difference
between tkip and AES, so I left it at the default of AES. I also used
wep and unchecked the the key is provided for me automatically box and
then entered in my own 5 character wep key. However, I am guessing you
could leave that box checked and it would still work. You would just
have to figure out what key you were given and then remember it or
wright it down. Now once you get your Network set up on your pc, here's
how to connect to it on the braillenote. Turn on wireless internet and
scan for networks. Look for and click on the one you created, which in
my case is called x. Then even though you set it up as wep, it will ask
you for a wpa2 preshared key. So enter your wep key anyhow. At this
point, there are also other settings you need to configure, but for some
reason they will not show up the first time you set up the connection so
exit and say yes to add this record. After that you will need to go into
review existing connections and look for x or whatever you called your
network and press enter on it. Now, you will be given more settings then
when you first set it up. You can give it any name you want. Then leave
the ssid as is, because it is already filled in at this point. Then set
the device to use to whireless network connection, set use
infrastructure mode to no, set the authentication protocol to shared,
change the encryption to wep, change the 802.1 authentication level to
1, attain an ip address automatically yes and use a proxy server for
this connection no. Then exit and say yes to confirm changes. After
that, you should be able to connect to and access the internet on your
braillenote. If not, try turning your wireless internet on your
braillenote off, do a reset, then turn the wireless internet back on and
try to reconnect and it should work. Please let me know if you need more
help or have more questions.

LIST DESCRIPTION.

Are you blind or visually impaired and tired of being on a bunch of different mailing lists because each list will only let you talk about one topic? Well those days are over. This list is for blind and visually impaired people to talk about their disabilities and ways to overcome them and for people who can see to talk about blindness and visual impairments as well as what causes them and how to prevent them or lessen their effect on blind or visually impaired people as well as their friends, families and coworkers. We can talk about adaptive technology( hardware and software) from Humanware, Freedom Scientific, Hims, Apple and other companies. As well as that, we can talk about which websites are and are not accessible to blind and visually impaired people who use screen readers or note takers to go on the internet. All kinds of accessible games can also be talked about. We can also talk about the basics like orientation and mobility and braille. It is ok to talk about anything to do with blindness. The topics listed here do not have to be the only things we talk about. They are just some examples. If you are blind or visually impaired and want to learn how to make your life easier and more fun or you are a person who can see and you want to learn about blindness and visual impairments as well as what causes them and how to prevent them or lessen their effect on blind or visually impaired people as well as their friends, families and coworkers, then please join this list. This list is in English. Also check out the Erasing Blindness Blog that goes with this list at www.blindnesseraserblog.wordpress.com. If you have any questions or comments about the Erasing Blindness Mailing List and or Blog, please feel free to email blindnesseraser@xxxxxxxxx. Thank you. End of list description.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Please keep the subject lines up to date with what is being talked about in the message bodies. If you have a question you want to ask or you want to say something and it does not fit in with any of the current threads, then please start a new thread. Also, if you have digest mode on and you find a message in the digest you want to reply to, please change the subject to something more specific then the subject of the digest email, for example- re: erasingblindness Digest V1 #6. Cut the other messages out of your reply and just leave in the message you are replying to so that you do not end up forwarding the whole digest to the list. That way, list members who have digest mode off do not need to read through list emails twice. I do not want any members of this list bossing or attacking any of the other list members. If anyone feels like they have been bossed around or attacked by anyone else on this list, please email blindnesseraser@xxxxxxxxx and tell me about it so we can try to sort it out.

ABOUT ATTACHMENTS

If you have an article, document, game file, short audio file or anything else you would like to share, please do so. You can email any file type as long as it is not a virus. Total message size is limited to 5 MB. This includes your attachment as well as what you write in your email. Please note that people who have digest mode off will receive attachments sent to the list, but people who have digest mode on will not receive these attachments. For people who have digest mode on, if there is an attachment that was sent to the list and you want it, please email blindnesseraser@xxxxxxxxx and I will send you the attachment. I will never turn digest mode on for myself on this list. For people who post attachments to this list, please say in the body of the message that your message has an attachment in it or put has attachment as part of the subject line. That way, people who have digest mode on will know that there was an attachment posted to the list. Attachments are also archived and only attachments known to carry viruses are filtered from them. Thank you.
