I could use a little advice. I just downloaded the new Airport Extreme update via Software Update and it installed fine. When I launched the Airport Admin Utility, it tells me there is a new version of the firmware available and gives me the option of installing it. So far, everything is as I expect it to be.

As soon as the upload of the firmware starts, the Admin Utility crashes without notice and without installing the new version. I have tried disconnecting the Ethernet cable to install via the wireless connection, as well as turning off the Airport in my iBook to install via the Ethernet connection. Neither of these worked.

I also triend to manually install the firmware by cancelling the "new firmware is available" dialog, but I can't find the update anywhere. Maybe it's an invisible file?

Anyone have any ideas? Anyone else having this problem?

reboot your AEBS. It'll upload fine after that.

Duh. I guess I should have thought of that. Worked like a charm, thanks.
