BMP, now with WiFi

[jblaine]

I just saw this on the BMP site. No idea how old this news is, just thought I would throw it out there for those that care in case it is news.

"WIRELESS INTERNET NOW AVAILABLE AT THE TRACK."

Hmm..I got a connection on my wireless once before, but it was too weak to be stable. Interesting!

I got a really good signal a couple of weeks ago @ NMRA

[Ford DNA]

Sweet. I'll try again.

[Ford DNA]

ugh..I can't get it to work. It says I'm connected. My computer indicates a connection. But when I open aol or IE, there is no internet connection. :-(

I'm a wireless internet moron, so it's probably me.

[Kamikaze]

Let the AOL man take a look at it lol... Probably don't have a big bandwidth connection... I'd have to actually get to the track and take the laptop

[Ford DNA]

Like i said, it's IE, too. I just open IE, and there's no internet connection.

[speedy02]

Its like $10 a day to use it!

[Ford DNA]

So...who do you pay? How does that work?

how the person above you said you have to pay for it....i don't know about that said like i said before at NMRA i was able to log on fine

[speedy02]

So...who do you pay? How does that work?
When you get a connection it will ask you for a login and password. if you don't have one you will have to singe up, and ask you for a credit card number.

I never saw that. Maybe I was just tapping into their regular setup and not the WiFi. It was the same network that I tried to get into a couple months ago. Both times were at a private track rental. When the network is detected, it is called "DragStrip." Sound familiar to anyone?

Ya at NMRA i was using drag strip.....but then again you think good old Todd is going to give anything away for free...Im surprised he doesnt make you bring your own VHT

[Ford DNA]

Okay, well, it showed me that available network, I told it to connect to it, and then it did. Only no internet would work. But everything indicated I had a connection the whole time.

[Mars_302]

you have to pay anyway, and you gotta be close, or at least I had did, I was down by the fence in front, and would flucate on connecting

[Ford DNA]

I just need to get a different setup.
