[nabs-l] what's going on with the NFB site? I can't access it!

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Humberto,

Thank you, but this works now.  I wish what you suggest
would make those annoying security alert dialogs go away! * 
Smile!

Hello Chris,

Something must be wrong with your Braille Note.  Just as I 
finished reading
this email message, I quickly pressed windows+R to get to my run 
dialog box
and typed in www.nfb.org.  My internet explorer came up, and the 
page loaded
ordinarily, correctly, and without flaws of any kind.  Try 
pressing reset on
your Braille note, see if this works.
Also if the problem persists, try pressing reset with dots 1-2-3 
keys held
down together until you hear the Humanware music.  This reset 
clears out the
memory, and any ram used up by your files and programs.  If this 
reset does
not solve the problem, then try doing a hard reset.  This reset 
is design for
wiping out the contents of the keysoft system disk modified by 
the user,
which means it will delete anything that you have saved there, so 
you should
be careful on when to do it.  However, this type of reset also 
eliminates all
your temporary internet files, saved cookies, and downloaded data 
and
passwords for KeyWeb, the internet browser.  This reset involves 
holding down
dots 4-5-6 and then pressing reset while still holding those 
keys.  After
hearing the official Braille Note Humanware music, release them.  
You should
now be fine of any errors on your internet web visits.

I know, this used to happen with mine, and I even got memory 
usage errors.

Hope this helps you.

Humberto

Hi all,

For some reason, I can't access the National Federation of the
Blind (NFB) site, nfb.org, with my BrailleNote.  Whenever I go to
it, it comes up with a "enter network password" dialog, like the
ones that appear when you log into NLS Web Braille.  Username and
password? Um...  I don't have any username or password to access
the NFB site, and have never needed one.  So what's going on? Is
there something going on with the NFB site or is it a problem
with my BrailleNote? Can someone on the BrailleNote list test
this and make sure it's not just me? Thanks!

Chris
