When I opened the message, I found that Wayne Johnson had written:

Ah, yes! Elsewhere!! A different network, although both were KOA.
Two nights before we were at KOA using wireless. The night before
we had no wireless and were using qnc.

The owner, who installed the system, couldn't even get my laptop to
connect. He didn't just take a two minute stab at it, either, he tried for
half an hour.
Now listen to this: A gal checked in while I was there with a laptop
with built-in adapter. The owner offered to get her up and running.
He turned on here lap-top and VIOLA!! Up came all the wireless
networks in the area that were close enough. Mine?? Now way! He
finally gave up.

Yes, I'm with Verizon, but if one of their extended networks does not
have data, then I can't connect.

It was probably the network that didn't have digital.
I think I have the same as you, Wayne, because you were the one who
told me that "qnc" still works.....even after the jerks at Verizon swears
that it doesn't.
What about that?? I get so hot when talking with those nincompoops
that I could actually grab one of'em by there pencil necks if we were
face to face! Some will tell you that it is no longer "possible" to connect
that way; 'that you "must" pay their extra fee, blab, blab, blag. And I'm
sitting there after having been using it for years and for 45 days in a
row...and they have the audacity to say it isn't possible!!! Makes you
want to wring a neck or two.......!!

Dunno! A few RVers were connected at the time......and I had been a
few minutes earlier, too.
Made me think something had happened to my configuration somehow.
Maybe each of the times I couldn't connect, the network was maxed out.
BTW, when we went to the configuration and checked to let Windows
configure the connection, it would never stay checked! He thought,
because of that, that something else must be awry.
BTW, I'm home and on the Verizon network and I can connect using
qnc......not that I need to, but just checking.
Still, I can't test my wireless. Nothing around.

Jim
