BMP, now with WiFi

jblaine · 03-23-2007, 12:35 PM

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 INTERNETNOW 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

Sweet. I'll try again.

Ford DNA · 03-30-2007, 10:56 AM

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.

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 · 03-30-2007, 04:17 PM

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

speedy02 · 03-30-2007, 07:37 PM

Its like $10 a day to use it!

Ford DNA · 03-30-2007, 09:12 PM

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?
