Jim. Where did you enter the logon and password?

Hi Peggy,
Delete any configurations that were created on the road. Scan for
network. A new configuration is created when that happens. Go into
connectivity menu. Find the review configurations option. Press
backspace with dots 1, 4. Give the new configuration a name such as
Powells. Leave all settings at this point as they normally are. Go to
main menu. Try to connect to one of your favorite web sites. If you do
so, everything should be good to go. If not, get the Wep code for that
new site. Go back into your new configuration, press backspace with C
again. and change use WEP to yes instead of no. When typing in the
WEP, capitalize all letters in the code. Some say this doesn't make much
difference but it did in my situation. The WEP should be entered in
computer braille. Once changes are saved, try connecting to a favorite
web site again. You should be good to go.
When I was at our state convention, I found a network at our hotel called
air2data.com. The hotel gave us a card with two numbers on it, the first
was a logon number and the other a password. After speaking with an
air2data staff person on the phone, I found I had to go on line and enter
both numbers. Once I did this, I was good to go! I could get the network
at first but couldn't do anything with it till I had the logon number and
the password number which I gave once while on the phone with the network
representative. Once I had that in place, I could go on web sites and get
my Email right from the hotel. If a network is not secure, you should be
able to get right on it! You should be able to get your own network once
you are home again!

Hi, all. I went to Powells Books on Hawthorne Street in Portland, where
we're visiting family. I was real excited about connecting to wireless,
but again I couldn't get connected. Or let me be more specific. I
scanned for wireless, detected the network, connected, but couldn't get
onto the net. They gave us the WEP code, which was 13 characters. That
allowed me to connect to the network faster, but I never could get
connected to the net. I did resets, tried changing some of the other
settings, etc., but never could get it to work. Have any of you
Humanware people had this experience? If so, what causes it? I got the
cannot find page message, and the error message with email that indicates
I'm not connected. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll be able to connect to
my network when I get back home again. It's just too weird to have
wireless working so well and then not work twice in a row from two
different sites. It detected IP and dns addresses, and looked the same
as my connec
tions that have worked in the past, but they didn't work. (sigh)
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions for future connections?
