Stacy,
I hope you get 6.11 since it is a much better upgrade! I couldn't get my
network to work under 6.1. However with 6.1 1, it took off after I deleted
the old configuration and scanned for the network. Perhaps had I done this
in 6.1, it may have worked but it seems to me I did this and couldn't get
the network to connect properly! Everything seems to be fine with 6.1
1. I too hope you get your upgrade very soon! The Email works so much
better and faster!

Jim,
that sounds wonderful. I'm still running 5.1 build 22 and am looking
forward to receiving 6.1 from Humanware. It sounds like a wonderful upgrade.

my BN to work on my network with all security features in place! I am so
pleased!
>I downloaded the 6.11 upgrade file some days ago. My friend took out
all security from the network so I could get on it at that time. He
showed me how to find my computer on the network and I went into file
manager, found the unzipped 6.11 upgrade file on my PC on the network, I
of course chose to copy from my PC to the storage card housing the 6.1
upgrade. It took roughly 8 minutes or so to bring that file to my BN
which was going onto the upgrade flash card. I deleted the specified
file which was specified by the online instructions. I then placed the
flash card into the back slot, pressed dots four, five with reset and
everything started immediately! When the 6.11 upgrade process stopped, my
unit reset but didn't do much of anything! I again pressed the reset
button and everything came to life as it should. I tried to log onto
network but it wouldn't work. My friend suggested I start the
configuration all over again since I just upgraded and did a reset. I
deleted the old c
>onfiguration and scanned for the network itself. The BN connected and
the IP address was correct! I went to the PDI site and I was right there
the first time. I also got the Schwan's site with no difficulty! I was
truly pleased! After my friend left and I had supper, I wrote a new EMAIL
Account! It worked first thing! I was able to receive 14 email on the
server with no difficulty! To answer Rhonda's question, I only had to
write "jkaldrich" minus quotes in the user name. I didn't need to write
out the full EMAIL address there. I can only say everything seems to be
working nicely now! I'll keep you posted! I need only upgrade my wife's
unit now!
