The LAN settings were all deselected - I was able to get
the "Base Station Management Tool" menu item being
enabled, but while in the setup wizard, had to "pretend"
I was using an external modem and make all of
the "appropriate" internet settings. That allowed me to
set the Access Point mode and the Base Station Name.
Unfortunately, completing the setup via the wizard
wouldn't continue any further. I set the base station
name to the same name I used in the setup wizard, but
have no idea if that even enters into why it failed to
complete.
I still haven't found using Explorer directly to connect
to 192.168.2.1 will allow me to connect to the MN-700.
If I try to do this, Explorer will try to connect to the
url via the net. In other words, it doesn't even try to
send anything out via the PC's local port.
