        Hello Alan, we were saying ! 

 AZ> Generalizations are dangerous and almost always incorrect.

        Thank you Alan for this very sensible reply to my "flying off
  the handle" post. Your line above tells a much better story. This
  G-41 has an icon that if 2-clicked, will go through the paces and
  look for and ( hopefully ) connect to any AP. I have it set to do
  its thing on bootup and it does. My daughter who got the exact TP,
  did not set hers up and she is on the level with the average user. I
  will attend to this when I get back home.

        At times, I can not see the forest for the trees. I got
  mesmerized by the fact that the PW for the firewall was not
  available. When my friend left with his G4, I got to think about
  this and it said that the FW was de-activated so it was not the
  problem. The G4 could receive but not TX. I should have looked at
  another setting but the FW PW had me locked up in a line of thoughts
  that prevented me to seek further. I should have left that FW thing
  slide and look elsewhere.

        What is your opinion on this ? Some mail came in but could not
  be replied. I did some very short replies but when hitting the Send
  now button, a dialogue came up saying : Sorry but.... !

        Hinsight is wonderful ! The AP here is on channel 1, I bet
  that the G4 searched for it, went through that channel, quick enough
  it got the incoming mail but then went and sat on channel 11, for an
  unknown reason, to me anyway as when I looked at the settings, it
  said that it was on 11. I just checked and here, I am on Channel 1.
  Where could I have gone to set the G4 to 1 ?

        I am changing my opinion. See remark about my daughter above,
  this one is not the MS coder. I now see that because I have
  associated as you mentioned, with PC people that are here and they
  really know what side is up, then I got biased. Tell me if you go to
  some echo where Mac people share the same way as we here on FIDO.

        You be good.

     
       Again in Kamouraska !
  Have a great day !
