I am so frustrated. I'm trying to update the firmware on my AEBS. But I can't get the stupid thing to configure -- every time I hit the "configure" option, it asks me to enter a password. I enter every password ever (including the standard "public," and I keep getting an error message. I don't get a "wrong password" message, just an error message. Before I call Apple and scream, any one have a similar situation?

Thanks.

here is my problem. when airport admin searches for a basestation it does not find anything.

i can click on other and then enter the password and i can configure it that way, but it gives me an error when i try upload the new update.

help?

I did call Apple -- got someone who walked me through many steps (including totally resetting everything up and resetting the base station -- hard-wiring the base station to the powerbook, etc. etc. etc. Very good service person, too)

That got everything up and working. I also got the firmware updated. So we'll see what happens next.

Same thing happened to me. You have to install the Airport 3.0 software that comes with the base station in order to be able to write the config to it.
