Hi Jeff et al,
Since we're on the subject of the BN and wireless networks, I'll re-post a
question that I sent a while back.

Some time ago, I set up a wireless network at my girlfriend's place using a
Linksys WRT54G router.  Initially, I set up the network with WPA encryption
not knowing that I wouldn't be able to connect to the network wirelessly
using my Braille Note.  After discovering this, I changed the network so
that it  used WEP, but I found that the connections just weren't stable for
the two Dell PC's, even though I didn't seem to have problems staying
connected using my Braille Note.  I changed the network  back to WPA and
neither PC has trouble staying connected.  That being the case, I now
connect using a standard ethernet connection using my Socket CF card. My
questions are these:

1.  Is WPA not supported by Windows CE,  and is this a hardware or software
limitation?  Is this likely to change in the foreseeable future?

2. Why would a wireless network using WEP be unstable when with WPA it's
rock-solid?

I'm a little puzzled by this.

Thanks,

Tom
