Hi folks,
I just called to get myself on the transplant list. I would have done it
sooner, but I was under the impression, given to me by a customer service
person, that they would charge my card immediately, not when the work was
done.
Anyway, I got myself on the list, but I was surprised that I would be
charged $45 for shipping. I was charged $15 to ship my keysoft 6.1 upgrade,
and that was shipped in a completely non secure padded envelope, not
weighing more than maybe 12 ounces.
So, what's the deal here. If I by over $25.00 worth of stuff, Amazon gives
me free shipping. So how come Humanware can't ship for free when we blind
folks drop $2000 or more on their products? And they're probably going to
resell my old BN classic and make more money! You'd think they'd at least
fold the cost of shipping in to the total cost of the product, making
themselves look magnanimous, and better than the competition. We'll all even
have to pay to ship our old units back in.
It's a bit obscene to me. If I asked for upgraded shipping, I'd understand;
Amazon charges for that.
There's nothing to be done about it, this is pretty much a closed market and
we can't go any where else, but down, but I just want to register my
disgust.
Rusty

Just find your network settings and hit backspace with lower g to delete
record.

Just go delete the network settings from your BN and start over. Make sure
your computer is set for a network.

Hi Sarai,
Thanks for the great step by step.
Unfortunately, it didn't work.
I went through the stepts as you outlined. Before though, I didn't get the
network connected. That is, I didn't "turn on" wireless. So, things started
just beeping. Then, I figured it out. After that, I started the wireless. I
know because I'm able to surf the web. But, when I try to "brouse network" I
just get endless beeping. One possibility could be that maybe I misbrailled
the user name or password. Is there a way to change or check this?
Thanks!
Rusty

Okay,
You can do this. I'm using a BN BT w/ 6.1 and an XP machine with Jaws so my
instructions will be for that Machine. You also need your user name and log
on pass word, as well as your server name. Your server name is found under
settings control panel, system and then shift tab to computer name and use
Jaws cursor to read the needed info. Now that you have all your info, do the
following: 1. Select network from the drive list 2. At network place, hit
space twice 3. Press enter on browse entire network 4. At the network server
prompt, type in the name, make sure its spelled correctly. 5. If your
computer asks you to log in, here is where you type in the name and pass
word. Don't forget to use compute r Braille 6.
Press space with e and it will ask to save password or user name.
8. Then you will be asked to update the log in info.
If yes, then you'll get a warning about saving it , but if you say yes then
you won't need to log in again. I said yes because I['m connecting
to my personal PC.
9. Now you can type in the name of the network folder, or hit space to
search for it. On mine, I see something like shared documents.
11. You'll hear network place and then the folder name. Either type another
folder name, or hit enter. Now your in the same folder structure as normal.
12. Now you can access it now that you have everything set up.
Hope this helps.
Make sure your wireless card is in and wireless is on.

Hi folks,
I'm new on the list, though I've had my bn for a long time.
I'm just beginning to use the BrailleNote wirelessly.
I have a wireless home network. What I'd like to do is create files on
my
BN, then save them to another machine, the only other machine, on the
network. Then, of course, edit them with the other computer. Now, I
understand that I must save in word format ETC.
What I'd like to know is how to configure things so that the BN will see
the
disk on the other machine so I can save to it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Rusty
