Hi Pam,

When things like this happen, perform a 4-5-6 reset and all should be well.
-42 is a reasonably strong wireless signal for a public hotspot.

Subject: [Braillenote] My first experience at a hot spot


It happened.  We went out of town for the weekend and of course I had my MPower 
with me.  We had breakfast at Ross's this morning, and they offered free 
wireless access.  I was able to get on the internet with no problem.  But for 
some reason I couldn't send or receive my email.  It said Error 10060.  I don't 
know if this had anything to do with anything or not but the signal strength 
was minus 42 dbm.  I forgot, is that a good signal or is that weak? I assumed 
all wireless internet access would be highspeed, but when I tried to pull in 
ACB Radio Mainstream, there was a lot of breakup which doesn't happen here at 
home.  So maybe the email program times out or something? Does anybody know 
what that error indicates? It obviously had something to do with the connection 
since I'm not having the problem here.  It was a halfway successful adventure 
anyway.

Pam
