Hello Badah, Sorry for the delay in replying to this message.
DHCP stands for dynamic configuration host protocol. Basically, what happens is that there is in the BrailleNote, a DHCP client. It is part of Windows CE. Now if it is enabled, it will look for a DHCP server and obtain an IP address for you. Therefore, you must have DHCP switched on already. I may have to do some more testing before I can come up with an answer for you on this one. However, it would be helpful for the moment, if you could try pinging the BrailleNotes with a PC as described in my previous message, should the problem arrise again. If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact me.

It is worth to say that checking e-mail at the same time on both VoiceNotes works pretty fine, but it is enough to open KeyWeb on one of the VoiceNotes to prevent the other do it. What does DHCP stands in for and where can I locate it to check whether it is turned on or off?
