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

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!
