Hi all, this is my first post here.

I can not make the NetConnect() library function work properly on my device (PB360+ with firmware version 15.4). I tried both NetConnect(connection_name) and NetConnect(NULL). In both cases the call fails returning -127, which is strange because -127 is not among the error codes listed in inkview.h. In fact, NetErrorMessage(-127) pops up an "Unknown error" message.

For example, the application telnet_starter.app (after a little modification to let it work without the stylus) starts the telnet server properly, but it is unable to activate the network. This is not a show-stopper because I can always use the browser to let the device connect to the network, and then I quit the browser and launch telnet, however it is annoying. Also, the only way I know to shut the network down is to power cycle the device: the NetDisconnect() function doesn't seem to work.

Has someone else experienced the same problem? Any idea of the solution?

Thank you all,
A.
