I was at the library tonight and had no problem connecting. Even rebooted just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.
The only thing different was last time my hp2133 was restored from hibernating and tonight it was from a cold boot. Not that it has problems restoring from hibernation and connecting to our home wifi networks. Strange. FYI the Nashua library has free access to a number of 'for-pay' databases, like Ancestry.com (genealogy, including scanned/indexed census records) and newsbank.com (historical scanned/indexed US newspapers). Sadly access is tied to their locked down WinPCs -- just being on the library network is not enough. Other databases can be used from home if you log in with your library ID. -marc On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 4:55 PM, Jim Kuzdrall<gnh...@intrel.com> wrote: > On Wednesday 26 August 2009 15:49, Marc Nozell (m...@nozell.com) wrote: >> The Nashua Public Library has free wifi, but I've not been able to >> connect, but other Windows users nearby have.
