Re: One more try !

["Marc R. Fuller" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well what I was planning to do was to connect the Fuji to my Wifi
router, then to do web browsing on it. I also wanted to run Mainlobby on
it and an email client.

Unfortunately there are several PC's and network components involved in
my plan, and not one single entry point.

If only this damn thing supported WPA I would be good to go :\

Cheers

Marc
