David, You don't need activesync to connect your braillenote to the internet. You do, however, need a network card. It fits into the rear slot of the bn and then you also need a network cable to run from the network card to a port on your router.
If all goes well, you should be able to connect to the internet with no problem. You also need to set up an entry in your directory of services for establishing the connection, but that's probably best handled in a separate message. Actually, activesync has nothing at all to do with the internet, it's just one way for the braillenote and pc to communicate with each other for the purpose of transferring data between the two. I'm using my braillenote to connect to the internet at times, and I have a netgear router with 4 ports and the system works quite well. Feel free to write me privately if you think I may be able to help further.

I'm trying to connect my BN directly to my Netgear router without having the BN connected to my actual desktop computer. In other words, I want the BN to act just like another computer off the router. Is this possible?
