Thanks! I was unable to get to this page or any other page after requesting
help yesterday. I was getting so frustrated that I just packed up the laptop
and gave up.
I went online a lot earlier today and was able to get right online with no
problem and get to this site. What is the best solution for internet access
when on the road especially when evacuating there are usually many people,
headed or displaced to the same area. If there are more people then the Wi-Fi
can handle or it's too out dated for Vista what is suggested for reliable
internet service while displaced?
