Hi, Rhonda,
I have set nothing up yet. (see my previous message). I am really
sorry that WEP is the highest standard supported for security.
According to Kim Komando, that can be broken within seconds. This is
obviously another issure that HumanWare needs to deal with. I may
decide not to use my BN for access at home because I want the current
standard for security.
What I'm concerned about now is getting the hardware and security up
and running, I hope, without sighted help.

Evelyn, I would guess you'll have lots of assistance. Except for a
meeting tonight, I'll be glad to help, should you not get
assistance. I have unlimited long-distance, but my number is
217-532-7894. However, I'm going to send you some information.
I'm pretty sure you have set up the "directory of accounts" side, so
I'll just give you the "Connectivity" side.
Wireless
If you are using a wireless connection, do the following:
1. Put your wireless card in.
2. From Main Menu, press Options, C, W.
3. You will see "wireless card active; currently no."
4. Press Y for yes.
5. Space down to "scan for a network"?
6. Press Enter.
7. You will see "list of available connections."
8. Once you see one, press the Space bar to see a connection.
9. You will be placed into the "configuration items list." Enter
your configuration name.
10. Press Enter. The SSID and all other settings should go into
their default values.
11. At the "Shared Authentication", press Y.
12. At "use WEP?" press Y.
13. WEP key? The WEP key is usually 1 through 9. Any number
should be in lower case. If you have letters, they are generally
from A to F. Generally, the WEP key comes from the router.
14. If you are not connecting, check the DNS address. Go into
the connectivity menu and look for active connection details once
you have made your connection. Look for the first DNS address.
There is also a secondary DNS address but you aren't concerned with
that one. If the DNS address ends in a higher number with the last
two numbers, you don't have a proper connection.
Usually the address ends in 01, 05, or possibly 10 but it won't end
in a number higher than the possible connections your router can
handle. If you only have one or two devices connected to your
network and you are getting a higher number, you don't have a good
connection. Just an indicator to watch for. The next thing is to
determine how your network is secured. Network Places
If you desire to set up with your computer, do the following: When
asked for a server, type in your computer's name. Press
enter. Leave user name and password blank. Say no when asked if
you want to update default log on information. Press space with
E. You will then be asked for a network place, accept the
default. After that, you should be placed in your computers hard drive.
