hi Kelsey,
I like your little article but I have discovered another way
which is a little bit simpler.
Basically, You turn your computer or laptop on and connect it to
your network. Then, you do the same with the braillenote, You
would now go to file manidger menu and press B on keysoft 9,2
later or D for keysoft 9,1 and before, select network as the
drive and in the list of network places click brows entire
network. Type in your computers name and press entre. In the
list of network folders select the folder you want and create the
network place for it. Brows the files like you would normally on
the BN. If there is not a folder in the network folders list
then i suggest your way kelsey.
Thanks Luke

Subject: [Braillenote] the BrailleNote Network
Hey listers,
I've recently discovered how to connect to a network on my
BrailleNote. Below is my article that I've writen to try and
explain it.
BRAILLENOTE--Connecting to a Network
The article below explains how to connect your BrailleNote to a
network, create network folders from a computer or laptop, and
how to access them.
Equipment
To carry out the instructions given in this documentation you
will need:
a laptop/-puter
a BrailleNote (any model)
an internet resource with both devices use
What is a network and how does it work?
A network server is a colection of computers and/or laptops
which provide access to other things, such as the internet. A
client is another device which uses the services given by the
network server (the group of computers). So, in this case, the
BrailleNote is the client and the computer/laptop that you are
using is the network server. A network folder is basically a
folder on your computer which you can access on your BrailleNote.
How do I create a network folder on my PC?
Well, first of all you need to go to the folder of your choice.
Note: Do not press enter on the folder. Just focus on it with
the cursor.
When on the folder you wish to become accessible, enter
properties (altogether and enter) and swsdch tabs (control with
tab) until you find `sharing tab`.
Next, click `advanced sharing` and click `share this folder`.
Then press permision button and press `allow changes`. Then
press OK. You will be returned to the main properties dialog.
From there, press OK again and you've done creating a network
folder.
How do I connect mn BrailleNote to my PC?
If you go to your file manager and then to directory you should
have a list of drives. As long as you are connected to the
internet, an option called `network` should be there. Click
enter on this.
Next, press space until you find `browse all files` and enter on
this. At the next prompt enter your computer name. e.g.
owner-pc
Then enter your password at the next prompt. After this select
yes to update the default log-in information.
Then press space with e. Press y and you should be connected.
When you've set your folder on your PC you should be able to
select it.
Then, yay, you've done it!
And that's all there is to it.
Thanks for reading!
