 * Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless Base Station MN-700

SYMPTOMS
When you try to connect to your Microsoft Base Station by using a non-Microsoft wireless network adapter, you may experience one or more of the following behaviors:
 * You cannot access Internet, e-mail, or network resources.
 * You cannot configure your wireless network adapter by using the Microsoft Broadband Network Utility (BNU).
 * The lights on your wireless network adapter do not turn on.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur when your wireless network adapter has an on/off switch that must be turned on, but the switch is not turned on. This switch may be a function key combination that you must press to turn on integrated wireless adapters on a laptop computer.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, turn your wireless adapter on. Examine your wireless adapter for a physical on/off switch. If you have an integrated wireless adapter, see your product documentation to see if there is a function key to turn your wireless adapter on.
