hi, i have a friend who got himself one of the enterasys roamabout=20
cards that I think Phillipe sounds like he has. Thing is, we've been=20
trying to connect to his airport network...As far as I can see, he's=20
tried everything but every time we tried Nethopper we got a -6xxxxx=20
error...I think it's basically something to do with the newton's=20
connection settings, and not wiht nethoper itself. He tried using=20
newtscape but it kinda left him baffled i think. I went through it=20
with him, and we tried all the stuff as described on wiki and so far=20
haven't had any joy. Everything as far as I can see is in order, he's=20=

not using WEP and the card is recognised by the Newton (as I see=20
someone had some trouble earlier)...I know this description isn't quite=20=

ideal, but does anyone have any ideas?

I have an inkling it could be something very simple we're not seeing,=20
but if anyone mention anyhting we could possibly be doing wrong (I=20
don't understand a lot about IP and stuff like that...trying to=20
configure with IP/TCP addresses was equally unfruitful) then we'd be=20
grateful!

Cheers!
