I am trying to get my head around it too. Seems to me it should be fairly simple and I don't know why the tech at Nex-Tech wireless couldn't help me with that. When I set up the wireless I used an adapter and plugged the air card into a USB port then inserted the disk and followed the prompts. I had to enter the serial number of the air card and a password provided by Nex-Tech. However on the box that contained the disk and the equipment is written by someone the telephone number that connects to wireless and then @nex-techwireless.com So far I have not had to use the .com address but I think, with all of this information, I should be able to figure out how to get it to come into Outlook Express. Getting thunder and lightning. Got to get off and pull the plugs!
