MN 700 router - do you need a base station?

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

I have the mn 700 router and used it before with a desktop
as the base station and my laptop elsewhere.

I now only have the laptop and cannot connect to the
internet - I do have a signal from my wifi card but cannot
connect (unless I plug in the laptop).

Any help would be greatly appreciated !
