Mike, Russell J, Russell S, et al.: In my naivte about the subtleties of wireless networking I'm floundering in a sea of good ideas offered by all of you. Obviously, my knowledge is but a small fraction of what's needed to resolve this issue. I am willing to bring the Sony and my Dell to any wifi hot spot in the area to meet one of you and have you work with me in figuring out the problem. It will probably take only a short time to fix with someone who knows much more than do I about wireless connectivity at the keyboard. The location is probably immaterial; the coffee shop on the corner of 242nd and Stark is where I've been. My friend tries to connect at a coffee shop in downtown Gresham. I'll drive to Portland to meet anyone willing to devote the time to work this out ... and I'll buy the coffee (or lunch).
