How to create/change table to "federated" within MySQL Admin

Hi,

I want to change an existing table to StorageType "federated"
according to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/federated-create.html
I've just created this sample table, now I can't even have a look at
the scheme with mySQL Administrator, only the "mySQL Query Browser"
works and shows me the table.

What can I do to get mySQLAdministrator up and running again ("Could
not get schema table status", ...) displaying the affected schema?
How can I change an existing Table ("ALTER TABLE ..." ???)

On my development system, I have mySQL-Server 5.1.23rc, the production
system is a mySQL 5.0.37.
Or, can I "link" within one mySQL server from one schema-table to
another table. I need two tables with the same content...

TIA

Peter
