Hi Lisa and others, Sounds like there is a bit of confusion regarding the term "wireless" as Lisa is using it here.
Lisa, from your description it sounds like you are receiving your internet connection via satellite. This is certainly wireless, but it shouldn't be confused with a wireless network which is the connecting of two or more computers via a connection which does not use wires, but rather communicate via special network cards for each machine. This wireless network is what the braillenote does not currently support. The internet connection via satellite is an entirely different thing and all computers including the bn are connected to the router or, in the case of a single machine, the satellite modem/receiver via wire connections. I'm pretty sure I'm interpreting Lisa's comments correctly here.

When the Braillenote says error receving email winsock error 10057 it means (anyway for me) that the Braillenote got stuck on a particular email and my Internet service provider has to delete that email from their server. I know I spelled receiving wrong but that's how it appears in this particular error message. Someone asked about my wireless broadband with the Braillenote. First off I DO NOT have a wireless card or some software installed. I have the Etheernet card from PDI attached to a Cat 5 cable and that's attached to a router. The ISP set up an antennae of some sort outside on one of my window sills (I live in the tropics so it won't get damaged by ice or snow) and the Braillenote gets the Internet access and email from the router or the Etheternet card or something. The interesting thing was I did a hard reset and the Ip was static whatever that means. I was surprised when the wireless capabilities worked again after doing the hard reset. I am also going to get dial up service from the same ISP for a backup plan in case something happens with the wireless broad band. Luckily I could still use my router for this since it has phone jacks. The phone lines are awful in Guam so I'd have to get what is called fixed wireless from my ISP which would give me a nice clear dial! tone to make dial up run more smoothly. Now I apologize but I believe the ISP deleted the nice email that Roselle was kind enough to send with the instructions for reading the first email in contracted Braille. I would appreciate it if Roselle could email me those instructions privately or to the list. Thank you for your time and your assistance. I have Keysoft 5.0 and a Braillenote BT model in case anyone was wondering. Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Thank you for your help and your time in advance.
