Hi,
I have Ibook dual usb model. Adsl broadband conection with Ericson HM220 dp.
Today, for the very first time, I try to use Airport express for wirelees internet conection.
But when I pluged ethernet cable which I use for the wire conection and works ok to the Airport express, just got flashing yellov light. What could be wrong?
Mannual said that possible reason is that Airport express cant get the IP adress? Could reason be ethernet cable with just 4 wire inside? Or any idea what could be wrong. As I understand green lite is first step for setup wireless internet conection?
Thanks for help.

I don't think I can help much, but you do need a green light before you can start to set up a network.

The green light comes on if the Airport Express can see an Ethernet network.

Can I suggest you reboot the modem and the reboot the Airport Express, if you don't get a green light then try a different cable.
