SYMPTOMS
If you try to connect to the Internet using the Microsoft MN-100 or MN-500 base stations, you cannot access the Internet.



CAUSE
This problem may occur when your Microsoft MN-100 or MN-500 Base Station is configured so that your wide area network (WAN) Internet Protocol (IP) address and WAN gateway address are the same.

For example, this issue may occur when your WAN IP address and your WAN gateway address are both set to 10.60.2.205.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, configure your modem or router so that the WAN IP address that is assigned to your base station is different that the WAN gateway address that your network uses.

For information about how to configure your modem or router, see the product documentation, or contact the manufacturer.



How to Check WAN Settings
To check the WAN settings for your base station, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start the Base Station Management tool.
 * 2) View the settings under Wide Area Network (WAN) Settings on the Home page.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
