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

[Chris Nusbaum]

I'm using a wifi network.  But what it wanted was a username and 
password with which to access this particular site.  It's the 
same dialog that comes up when I log into NLS WebBraille, but 
that's legitimate, as I need to enter a username and password to 
get into WebBraille.  But never mind; it works now.

Chris,
Another problem may be in how you are accessing the internet with 
your
BrailleNote.  If you're doing it wirelessly, then you'll want a
wireless network.  That in turn will involve usernames and 
passwords.

 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
