I've got a problem that I suspect is ISP related, but before I approach the charge by the minute tech support, I need some solid information.

Specifically, often when I connect my white ABS (running 4.0.7) will hang at the 'Connecting to Host' message, as displayed on my menu bar.

More frequently than not, I can't restart it using 'Apple Airport Admin', meaning a trip to the upstairs closet which gets a little annoying after a while.

'Internet Connect' allows you to view connection logs - the back and forth exchance between your Mac and the ISP' terminal servers - but apparently this information isn't available via the Admin Utility.

Or am I mistaken?

Thanks for your help - take care
