These are the very clear instructions that Don Bishop posted some time back
about connecting the mPower to the Internet via Active Sync. I can only
assume it works the same with the PK. I was amazed it worked so well. Hope
this helps.
Actually, connecting to the net using usb and activesync is so simple that
it is almost confusing.
First of all, get connected to the pc using activesync over the usb
connection and establish a partnership if you haven't already.
Now, for the part you were actually asking about. Create a connectivity
configuration and when asked for the device to use, select ethernet. (I
know you
aren't going to use ethernet and don't have a card, but trust me!)
If you don't need dns addresses or use a proxy server you can let the rest
of the options default.
Save the configuration and go back to the main menu.
Now, go to the internet and select or enter a site name and hit enter.
You'll be asked which connection you want to use and select the ethernet
connection
you just created and press enter. The web page should come up and you'll be
on your way.
This same procedure works for email.
I just tried it here and it does work with keysoft 7 and the MPower.

Subject: [Braillenote] Help with Connection settings
All.
I need some fairly urgent help.
Essentially the hotel I am staying in doesn't have wireless access and
when
I try to connect a PK via a LAN card I get an error which may well relate
to
the fact that the IP knows I already have my PC registered for the
service.
So what I want to do is to share my PC's internet connection with the PK
via
Active sync.
I can either do this via USB cable or BlueTooth it really doesn't matter.
I've never had to do this before and although have tried some fairly
simple
steps to get it working it's not having any.
The urgency is that I need my wife who's PK it is to be able to check her
mail urgently as we are from the UK now in LA and are dealing with an
eight
hour backward timeshift meaning that in few hours it's the morning in the
UK
and she will need urgent access to her messages.
Any help as ever gratefully received.
Cheers!
