I just received my PB17 and Airport Extreme Base and need to hook up with the 2Wire Homeportal 1000 dsl modem as my wireless base. Has anyone try this set up before? I could not get it to work if I connect the dsl modem to my AP Extreme base.

My SBC Yahoo! ADSL currently has the 2Wire HomePortal 1000 as the dsl modem. Now, I heard they both are DHCP server and
both have NAT Firewall built-in. Would this cause conflicts? Is there any ways to disable one? Or, any other solutions?

Thanks for any help.

Have you connected the CAT5 (ethernet) cable coming out of the DSL modem into the port w/ the circle of round dots on the rear of the AirPort base? Make sure you unplug the power cables to both your AirPort base and your cable modem while connecting that ethernet cable, so that both re-initialize when you plug the power back into them. Once they've both initialized, connect a CAT5 cable from your PBs ethernet jack into the other CAT5 jack on the rear of your AirPort Base and run the AirPort Setup Admin and Setup Assisstant in your Applications folder...make sure you SETUP your AirPort Base FIRST, then run the program again and tell it to setup your computer to work on the AirPort network. After running those programs you should be able to unplug that CAT5 cable from your PB to the AirPort base & be working wirelessly. Just post if there's more issues.
