Hi, assuming that your wireless card is not faulty, from your description,
it appears that the radio signal from your router is weak. this could be
caused by interference from other devices sharing the same frequency as the
router or obstacles such as thick walls. If you have not already done so try
the following.
1 Put the router in a clear space and more than 1 metre above ground.
2 adjust the direction of the router['s antennae to point to open space and
in the general direction of your wireless device.
3 place the router at least 1 metre away from your tv and other electrical
devices.
4 Try switching off your cordless phone if you have one.
5 You might have to switch to a different channel on your router. Try the
above first before doing this.

Subject: [Braillenote] TOTALLY, UTTERLY FRUSTRATED
Hello everyone:
I have had my upgrade to 6.11 for 2 weeks, and I am very, very frustrated.
I am running 6.11 on a BT 18 cell. I have read all the chapters pertaining
to email and the internet. We have a cyslink modem with wireless
capabilities. I have the Ambicom card. It has downloaded some email and I
have been to the internet a few times. However, it will not connect from
the room that is right next door to the router. It connects from our living
room fine but if I use it for email I cannot go then to the web. Standing
outside on our back porch it will not connect. It seems to me that if it
connects that it will connect once to something and then I get cannot find
server 10022 or pagerror cannot find server. I have done numerous resets
both with keys held down and not. I have been in touch with humanware on
numerous occasions and now they will not even talk to me. I just have to
leave a message and then they never call me back. I do have a couple of
questions, however.
1. Does it matter where I place the Ambicom? I have an adaptor or I can use
the back. Humanware felt that possibly it was because I was used the pcmcia
slot so I have not used it since then. However, storage card or flash what
difference does it make?
2. I have been into the net and gone to the internet menu with enter and M.
I have cleared cookies, history, and, oh yes, I clear database space all the
time. There is only one other thing I can delete and that is temporary
files. However, when I press enter on this option I get the message
"directory is not empty!" AIs my database corrupted or something? I have the
instructions given by Rhonda but since I am not very computer/braillenote
savvy I do not want to do any erasing without being told exactly what to
delete in steps form.
BTW, I do not have a lot of files on the BN. I have things in my address
list, files for minutes and such that I am secretary for, and a folder
called privacy. This is also the first time I have worked with email and
going on the internet. I have this ocmputer and a card reader so I didn't
need it. However, with the wireless I thought I could possibly read email
before going to sleep or ask for it before leaving to go somewhere and read
it while traveling. However, it is so intermittent that this is just not
feasible. I am really thinking of asking for my money back! This is getting
to me badly. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm desperate!
