Hello all; I've got a problem and I was hoping someone could help. So I've got an airport extreme base station that I've tried to set up multiple times. I followed the instructions in the manual and used the airport admin utility and airport setup assistant. I even enlisted my brother who's a hardcore mac fiend and he couldn't figure out the answer. My computer, an ibook, recognizes that it's getting a strong signal from the airport, but whenever I try to get onto the internet, I can't do it. It's like the computer knows that the airport is there and working, but that it just can't communicate with the computer. Any thoughts, suggestions, tidbits of info? Thanks.

Exactly how it the Airport Extreme unit hooked up to your broadband? Which type of broadband (Cable or ADSL)

Phone Line > Modem > Airport Extreme I assume?

If ADSL, is your modem a modem/router, or just a modem? Also, are you really talking about an airport extreme unit, or airport express?
