Using MN-700 as an Access Point (with another MN-100)

Hello,

I recently purchased a MN-700 to provide wireless
capability to my already wired network using an MN-100
(which works fine, I might add). To configure the MN-700
I took the MN-100 offline and used the ethernet port (that
my MN-100 was on) to connect to the MN-700 to configure
that as an Access Point. I am running XP so it
automatically detected the new gateway device (the MN-700)
and I was able to connect to it. I set up a 128-
encryption WEP key, changed the wireless broadcast channel
from the default 6 to 11 and changed the Base Station name
from the default "MN-700" another one of my choice; then I
went into the Security menu to change the Base Station
mode from a Router to Access Point. In the Help it states
that once I change the MN-700 from a Router to an Access
Point I can only access Base Station Management tool using
the name I have given it (no longer the IP). I did all
that, and the MN-700 re-programmed itself. I took the MN-
700 off from ethernet port on my computer and plugged back
in the MN-100 and used port 1 from the MN-700 to plug in
port 1 on the MN-100 and I rebooted my PC.

Now when I go to access the MN-700 using it's new name in
Internet Explorer (6.0 SP1) I get "Page Cannot be
Displayed". When I go to access my MN-100 Base Station
Management Tool it does not show the MN-700 as a client on
my network (which from reading the Help said it should
be). Is there something I have done wrong? (in the above
steps) Also, is there some configuration on the MN-100
that I have to do to have it detect my MN-700 as a client
on my network now? (i.e. putting in the MAC address of the
MN-700)

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mike
