Incorrec wep key MN-730

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

Dear Gary,

The private IP address you PC is assigned is
automatically generated by Windows because it cannot
access the DHCP server of the MN-700. Are you setting up
the MN-700 wireless or through a wired connection?

Is the reset to the MN-700 a hardware reset, by pushing
the RESTORE button below the antenna until the power
light flashes from green to orange/amber? This will set
to factory defaults.

Assuming your OS is WinXp, use the Microsoft Broadband
Network Utility. Under "Tools", go to "Adapters
Setting". Click "Available Networks". You should see
something like "MSHOME" (by default). No WEP key should
be necessary.

BTW, if this is done wirelessly, this is extremely
insecure. Good Luck!

Setup the base station through a wired connection first.
Plug the PC into one of the four ethernet ports on the MN-
700. Can you connect to the interent? Can you access
the Base Station Management tool (192.168.2.1)?
