Well what a star you are my friend. I kind of guessed this is what Vicky was saying and intended to explore more this morning but you've saved me a load of time. Tell Ed to do you a brilliant deal on your J-Say! Thanks Vicky as well it certainly pointed me in the right direction. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jean Menzies Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 6:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Help with Connection settings
Terry 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Clasper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 7:06 AM 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! > > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote > > ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
