I am writing this on the computer since the last time I ended up with a messed up email. I will try to re-do the questions and then update on how it is going.
The router in our house is on top of the computer desk, way up high. It is against a wall but the antennae are free. The desk is in a room with no microwave. We have cell phones but no wireless phones, although I would say a cell might be wireless (smile). Our house is brick. (I think if we had cement blocks I would freeze to death here in Michigan since it looks like we are not going to get summer soon. Sorry couldn't resist. Aching for warm weather.) Yes, my husband has tried the card on two different laptops and it works perfectly. We know he has the BN set up correctly because Humanware helped him set it up. Well, it has been a couple of days since I wrote my gibberish so I hope my brain remembered all the questions! If not, ask away! (smile) Now for the update. I have found I absolutely cannot get connected at night. It will connect in the morning and when I get home from work. This leads me to a question. We have folks around us with a lot of wireless equipment. Could that interfere and if so, am I relegated to Activesync (or maybe I'll go back to the computer?) When I went and asked for email last night I was able to download 110 email. I was then able to go directly to Bookshare but when I asked to download a book I received the dreaded "Pageerror, page cannot be found. Never got connected after that. I even could not connect sitting where I am now, right below the router. Finally gave up. Today when I returned home from work I downloaded 136 email out of 213. It then told me there was a 10054 error and when I tried again a 10022 error. Pulled the card out and reset and was able to download another 38. Gave me an error again (there were something like 65 there) and I stopped. One thing I have noticed is that if I take the card out between actions I might be able to do another action. Since I have written a book, I will ask only one more question. Would it be worth my while (if it is not my neighbors) to reinstall 6.11 & re-do everything? Oh yes, just one more. We have absolutely no security on the Linksys (Aldo is very nervous). Is the BN supposed to connect even with security on? When we had the security on, there was nothing except that it saw the router. It was Humanware who told us to take the security off, but we need to replace it so if I cannot connect I guess I have spent a lot of money for nothing. Anyway, if you have gotten this far, thanks for reading. I have appreciated all the info and possibilities and although I am feeling a dimmer and dimmer hope of using braille, I would be grateful for any other thoughts. Heading for bed. Five in the morning comes fast. Reggie
