Gmail works for me on the kindle.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

have her try gmail using the mobile version. I also heard that you have to turn on (or off) the advanced brower features on the kindle.

good to know. I'll set up a google account for her, and then (hopefully) talk her through it over the phone.
Thanks LeN and SB!

if you need help, give us a holler. I can whip out my kindle and see what my settings are.
I never use gmail on the kindle. It isn't a pleasant experience, IMO.

I don't imagine it is. Looks like the browser is REAL basic, and text only. Mostly just looking to see if we can get her some e-mail ability, until I can afford to get her a cheap netbook. Although, something tells me she won't want to go to a Starbucks or Barnes & Noble to use the free wi-fi.

I'm trying to set up my wireless network in my new apartment. I'm using a Mac. At my old apartment, I had DSL, and I set up wireless with an Airport Express. It worked fine until a day or two before I moved, when I started getting a "Searching for PPPoE host" message scrolling next to the wireless symbol at the top of my screen. Since I was moving in a few days, I didn't try to fix it. Now, I'm at my new place. I've got cable internet. I tried plugging in the Airport Express and attaching the wire from the cable modem. The light on the front of the Airport Express turns green. When I turn on my computer, the network name that I used at my old apartment with this same Airport Express shows up in my list of available networks, but when I try to connect, I get that same "Searching for PPPoE host" message. Any idea what I need to do?

In the AirPort utility, go to Manual Setup → Internet → Internet Connection, and where it says "Connect Using:" set it to "Ethernet" rather than PPPoE.

It worked! Thank you, Tom!
Now, I just have to rearrange my surge protectors and extension cords again. Too many things to plug in, nowhere near enough outlets.

I hate those. All the wires everywhere bother me. I got a bunch of the kind that plug into both outlets in a plate and then give you six outlets right against the wall. So much neater. And all my extra wire lengths are wrapped with twist-ties. At my old apartment, I had wires taped the the back of the legs of my desk so that they wouldn't be dangling. t /wire-related neurosis
