Hi Dean, I was able to ping both the PC and the gateway from the BrailleNote. I was also able to ping the BrailleNote from the PC. Both devices receive their IP address from my 2Wire gateway via DHCP. So now that I know the devices are on the same subnet, how do I get them on the same workgroup so they can see each other? Sam

Can you ping the PC from the Braillenote? This is done from the options/connectivity/active connection details menu and pressing enter on the test current connection option. Based on customer experiences, I would recommend that you also make the account name different from the network name.
