Need help setting it up or just need to access a wireless connection?

If the latter, than there is one at La Rana Cansada.

Rob, glad you are settled in. Your wireless problem is probably a few adjustments to the settings. If I remember right you will need a pass code. But first check to see if the big guy has the system up and running. Unless the service has improved considerably the whole thing will go down for long periods of time.

Right click on your little computer icon at the bottom on your start up taskbar.....Then click on Network Connections.......Right click on the two computers that are lit up in blue....Example mine woud say Netgear wireless.....Right click on them and go to properties and click on it.....Then click on the middle tab.....Wireless connections and make sure that the box that says Use windows to cinfigure my wireless connections is checked and click OK.....After that right click on the computer Icon in the start up taskbar and click on "View all avaliable Networks" you an at this point hit refresh network list....Then pick (Double Click On) the strongest unsecured network......

The Tequila Barrel for thre last five years for me has been a great spot to connect to a Hot Spot....But there are several other places up and down 5th where you can connect......
