MN-500 help needed!

I'm in a very odd place here. Yesterday I created a new
network because my old one wasn't working correctly. When
it asked me to make a backup disk so I can use it with my
other computer I prompted 'no' because I ran out of
floppies. Today I purchased some and I need to know what
file to put on there. I went to the base management tool
and made a backup, thinking that would be it, but it
didn't work on the PC I'm trying to add to my network.
Please help me locate the file I need to put on a disk so
I can use it as the network configurations for my other
PC that is being added to the network from this PC. I
tried putting the WAP in the other computer and it
started a loop between finding the closest network, and
putting in the WAP, and then it would go back to the
screen that tells me where the closest network is.

The only way to generate the floppy is to reinstall the
MN-500. Also, the MN-500 does not support WPA, only WEP --
the reason you are looping is that you are using the
wrong WEP key.

I would do this: go to the base station, and open the
wireless security screen. Copy the WEP copy and paste it
into Notepad. Save the file on a floppy. Go to the other
computer and use the floppy file to copy/paste the WEP
key into your network settings.

Otherwise, you can always reinstall the MN-500 and save
all the settings into a floppy.
