MN-700 Basestation management tool problem

Hi,
I have never had any problems with my base station prior
to today. When I go to the Broadband Network Utility and
try to access the Base Station Management Tool (or type
http://mybasestation or the gateway address) it no longer
loads the page properly... I get an error 504 Gateway
Timeout Error. I never had problems accessing it before
so I have no idea why it is doing that. I get this message:

Gateway Timeout
The following error occurred:
[code=GATEWAY_TIMEOUT] A gateway timeout occurred. The
server is unreachable. Retry the request.

Please contact the administrator.

Any ideas on how this can be fixed? Should I reinstall
it? but the other computers on my network can't seem to
access it anymore either. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Anne-Marie

Have you tried unplugging the power to the base station for about two
minutes, then plugging it back in, Anne-Marie? Sometimes we need to exert a
show of our power by threatening then with a little example of what we can
do - shut them down permanently. 8-)

I say this because our area has had several thunder and lightning storms the
last few weeks, and while we've only lost power a couple times, I've had to
reset the DSL modem (unplugging the power) because the DSL provider
apparently has rebooted their routers in the Central Office. Unless I also
unplug the power from the wireless base station, let the modem connect
first, then power up the base station, I won't have a good connection.

This happen to me a couple weeks ago. I like Chris take
on this, though...stay in comman dof your power switch.

Here's what I did:

(1) disable all software firewalls and anti-virus
programs as best you can in one of your PCs. Diable all
microwave devices in your vicinity - cordless phones,
microwaves, game controllers, etc.
(2) turn off WEP/WPA keys in the PC adapter and make sure
the wirless connection settings are "Obtain IP...".
(3) reset your base station by pushing and holding the
reset button with the cartridge from a ballpoint pen
until the amber light flashes on the front.
(4) try to linkup with the base station after it resumes
and shows all green lights. The default channel will
be "6".
(5) If this doesn't work, change channels to "11" - a non-
interfering channel.

8-) Sorry, Anne-Marie, that it didn't work for you. Follow up with what
Ken suggested in this thread, and see if it helps you.
