Dear Nowhere Man,
I think I missed a step, don't you have to know the SSID to connect to
a Wi-Fi network, especially with the Newton because you have to enter
it manually in the driver set up for the Wi-Fi card. Not like on a
desktop or laptop machine which gives you choices from the Wi-Fi points
it has detected.
Please tell me I have been really dumb and I have got it all topsy-turvy
Kindest regards
