Hi John:
I don't know if any of this information will help or not, but,
<grin> here's hoping.
If you are using a wireless connection, do the following:
1. Put your wireless card in.
2. From Main Menu, press Options, C, W.
3. You will see "wireless card active; currently no."
4. Press Y for yes.
5. Space down to "scan for a network"?
6. Press Enter.
7. You will see "list of available connections."
8. Once you see it, press the Space bar to see a connection.
9. You will be placed into the "configuration items list." The
only thing you'll have to enter is your configuration name.
10. Press Enter. The SSID and all other settings should go into
their default values.
11. If you do not use WEP or other security, you should just be
able to save the configuration "as is", since the BN should pick
up these settings from the router.
12. Press dots 2-6 Chord (Escape) to add the record.
There are always a couple of things to look for, if you're not
making a connection: If your network is not a secure network, you
should be able to connect to any web site. If it is a secure
network, you will need to type in the WEP code which is in your
router I believe. Another dead giveaway is the DNS address. Go
into the connectivity menu and look for active connection details
once you have made your connection. Look for the first DNS
address. There is also a secondary DNS address but you aren't
concerned with that one. If the DNS address ends in a higher
number with the last two numbers, you don't have a proper
connection. Usually the address ends in 01, 05, or possibly 10
but it won't end in a number higher than the possible connections
your router can handle. If you only have one or two devices
connected to your network and you are getting a higher number,
you don't have a good connection. Just an indicator to watch
for. The next thing is to determine how your network is secured.
Network Places
If you desire to set up with your computer, do the following:
When asked for a server, type in your computer's name. Press
enter. Leave user name and password blank. Say no when asked if
you want to update default log on information. Press space with
E. You will then be asked for a network place, accept the
default. After that, you should be placed in your computers hard
drive.
