MN-500 to MN-700 base station problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hi, I need some help with a base station issue...I am changing my base from
Microsoft MN-500 to a Microsoft MN-700 and it is not going well. I can get to
the point where the new MN-700 has to connect to the internet and then it
tells me that it can not find a active internet connection. I did everything
the book said to try including resetting the modem, cloning the MAC address,
and removing all of the old network setting and programs. So after this
problem I place the old MN-500 back into my network and everything is back to
normal. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it!
