I have here some wierd Problems with an airport base station extreme:

the station is set up to be a closed network, it is using an 128 bit password protection and it is not distributing IPs cause i am in a working ethernet environment with a dhcp server.

Well anyway the strange thing is that sometimes it happens that people are logging into the base station and then they can browse the internal lan and can see all servers and so on but they can't use the internet. People who are connected to the same base station have at the same time internet. we didn't change our configuration or anything.

well i thought it is a dns problem but it isn't. even IPs are not working. if i ping google for example i get the error no route to host.

does anybody have an explanation for this or does anybody even know a solution for it???

i don't know what i can do??

the aebs firmware is 5.0.4

thanks in advance

Are you certain that all clients are getting IPs from your DHCP server? Are you sure that there aren't any duplicate IPs? Either of those could give you a problem like what you describe, particularly the former-file and printer sharing don't necessarily need TCP/IP to work (or at least browse), but surfing certainly does.
