I think his problem is more fundamental. 

First, how did you install WP and AW?  What is the
AW's logical name (letterbug). AW7001? and what is the
_AW_'s wp name. AWWP01? (nice to put AW in there so
you don't get confused)

The AW basically has two components a host (or
application processor) and a workstation (or
workstation processor).  The host (AP part) is the
AW's letterbug. The worstation (WP part) is the AW's
secondary letterbug.

Then you have a second machine with just the WP part
(call the WP).  It'll have it's own _separate_
letterbug. WP7001?

Then you'll have node on which they are connected.
Make sure this is an ethernet node (if that's
appropriate for you: no dnbi/dnbt's).

What are your AW's letterbugs? What is your WP's
letterbug? What is the node type?

It's been a year since I've done this so forgive me if
some of my terminology is off. Feel free to correct me
someone.
