Hi Chris:
You probably did this, but did you, from the Main Menu, press E,
S D A to set up the configurations on that side? Just a thought.

Subject: [Braillenote] Connecting to wireless router
Hello. I am the new owner of an MPower bt-32. It came with a
wireless card, so I'd like to be able to connect to my wireless
access point.
I have:
1. verified that the BN sees the wireless card when I install
it:
(it tells me so)
2. Gone to the connectivity menu/wireless menu and scanned for
available wireless networks. The BN reported my home network, so
I
configured it according to my best guess for options.
3. Verified that the network is itself up and running, (we have
several computers running on it)
4. Verified that the router is broadcasting in 80211.b/g mode (I
gather the BN uses the B protocol)
5. Actually gotten the BN to say that it is connected to my home
network.
I can't get out onto the internet or other network resources.
When I
look at the active connection details, everything looks right
except
the IP address which is a 169.254 address, rather than the 172.16
address I'm expecting from my access point.
I have power cycled the router, deleted and re-entered the
configuration details (according to the advice I received on a
tech
support call I made) all to no avail.
Has anyone had success after this kind of problem? If so, I'd
sure
appreciate some new things to try. One question: when entering
the
WEP key, do I need to enter it in hex or can I enter the
character
equivalents? Also, no matter what key I enter, the display only
seems to show 10 character fillers, consistent with a 40-bit
encryption key. I use 128-bit for the rest of my network. Is
this
significant, or just a display artifact?
Phew, that's enough to go on.
