I noticed that there is a USB port situated with the new airport extreme. Does this mean that if I were to plug my USB ADSL modem into the airport extreme base station, i would no longer have to use leave my pc on whenever i want to use the net? At present, my config is that the USB ADSL modem is connected to my PC desktop which is left on 24 hours a day (purely to allow access for my PB on wifi). This is connected to an airport basestation (the airport generation prior to extreme). What I want is to bypass my PC (hence it doesn't have to be turned on everyday) and allow my airport to allow my PB to connect to the internet. Is there any possible solutions? Thanks

Reading through some of the available info, I have come to the conclusion that at this time you can not.

The main reaso is that I keep seeing statements like " error messages, like out of papper, may not be displayed when a USB printer is connected to the ABSE's USB port.

You might try contacting you ADSL supplier and ask for a networke base modem. I knoe that works.
