Hello,
A ethernet card is sold by Humanware. It is shaped like a
compactflash card so you can put it in the compactflash slot or
you can slide it into the pc card adapter and then slide the
adapter in the pc card slot.
The ethernet card has kind of a square boxed cube on the other
end of the card. You plug your lan-line into this boxed cube.
It will fit just fine.
Don't worry about the proxy server. That is usually set to no,
so leave it as the default of no.

Subject: [Braillenote] establishing lan connection
Hi List,
I was hoping I could get some help in establishing an LAN
connection on my Braille Note. Right now, I have the BN
connected to the internet via a dial-up connection, but son I
will be moving back into my apartment. Once there, I'd like to
continue to access the internet with my BN, but it's going to
require an LAN connection.
I'm reading the user guide, and I'm a little lost. First off,
what is an ethernet card? I used an ethernet cable in my aprtment
to connect my PC to the internet, but I have no idea what this
ethernet card is, that I apparently need? Can I buy the card from
anycomputer store or does it have to come from Humanware? If it's
a card, rather than the ethernet cable I'm used to, is there
still a cable attached to the card that plugs into the wall (like
how the ethernet cable plugs in the computer and in the wall).
And which port on the BN does the ethernet card go in?
Also, what is a proxy server. Thats one of the options in the
connection entry form, but the user guide doesn't give any advice
on when to choose the yes or when to choose the no option? How do
I determine which one to select?
If you guys can help with any of these questions, I'd certainly
appreciate it. Thanks so much.
Lauren
