What are the brands and models of your two base stations? If you connect to the second base station and put it into "manual setup" mode, what status messages do you see?
By the way, you either used the "Ask your question" field on this discussion board or you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum. In either case, you typed a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject. In the future, use the "Start a discussion" link on the right, then just type a short summary of your post into the first (subject) field, then type the whole message into the field below that.
