Hi Richard: Thanks for these explicit directions. I used them as well and now my USB connection is bridged. Thanks, Again.

Try these steps. 1. Arrow to the first connection of the two you want to bridge. hold the control key down and tap the space bar, but don't let go of the control key. While holding the control key down, use the arrow key to move to the second connection, let go of the arrow key, tap the space bar then let go of the control key. Next, hit the applications key to bring up the context menu. Then arrow down to where it says Bridge Connections. Hit enter. You should be set at that point. However, at some point, I'd really recommend buying a wireless router. You will find far more enjoyment out of using the Braille+ without being tethered to the USB cable. But, until that works out, the USB connection can work quite well.

I am still having trouble in bridging my connections since I am on a USB connection, since my husband and I do share a connection, when the Braille Plus connects to the computer, and when I open up the control panel then use the up arrow to find network connections pull down, all of the connections are there, but when I select it, nothing happens, I even use the control up arrow and down arrow, nothing happens and also use the space bar hoping it will check that to bridge the connections, is there anything that I have to do in order to get Window Eyes to recognize what is being selected? I even put in the info with in the profile, and installed the drivers. I would love to use the Braille Plus and things for the net since am not on a wireless network. Can someone help me out here? Over all I can do everything else, except for the usb connection stuff. ----- Original Message ----- From: "tre" <strother_r@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 01, 1970 12:04 AM Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: Usb Connection Have you bridged the network conection?
