Hi all, Our Ambicom wireless card is ordered and should be here any day after tomorrow. I want to succeed in getting this working where I've failed previously with other products. (This is largely due to my lack of knowledge on WIFI and attempting this when I couldn't really appreciate the layout of a page I was working on.) . . .. However, I really do love the way the BrailleNote asks very simply (step by step) for the information it needs so I'm much more confident this is going to work. I have a slightly convoluted setup at home, mostly put together by those friends who have added to it as needed for me; so, when it comes to checking the settings I'll have to know about, I need some guidance to find these as I know they're all contained in this metal box down here on the floor! In short I have a PC, Linksys hardwire router and a Cable modem. To this a Linksys Access Point has been added so as to be able to go wireless without going totally wireless at this time.
First, I know I can check all settings in the router setup but can't remember how to do this. If anyone can help with this preparatory step I'd be most grateful as I want to try to get the settings together before I start the process. In addition, I suspected the wireless connection originally made had been spoiled at some point when I was unable to connect wirelessly to other equipment, so the other day I just made another simple connection on the computer using the Wizzard and once again now there's the little WIFI sound as though everything's actually working. (Does this sound encouraging?) I know too that there are commands within DOS that I can use to check my current setup. If these are going to be helpful to me, to establish that everything is working correctly before I start, I may need guidance on these. I have read in the mPower manual and on list that you can make a WIFI connection either by making a new one or looking for an existing connection. The latter would possibly be much easier for me to achieve, if a connection is found, but I get the impression that, if this is to be a main connection, it's best to start from scratch and make new. If anyone can enlarge at all on the pros and cons of these two methods before I begin the process, I'd be most grateful. Sorry I need so much "hand holding" with this but I've had a number of failures because I've taken instruction from those who know what they're doing but haven't been able to communicate well to me so that I've really understood it and taken it in. I feel I'm now beginning to grasp what I'm about, so please bear with me on this. Finally, I know these subjects are often discussed online so if anyone feels they want to take this up off line and guide me through the process then that's fine by me. Thanks in anticipation of additional help with this. -- Carol Email and MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: best_friend29
