Hi I have several Airport Extremes on a local network (one as main base station) and I am getting hacked over the software provided to control them. Airport Utility.app (in leopard 10.5.2) refuses to find the AE's in the the main window, but I can type in the IP addresses for them under "Configure Other" and edit. However, Admin.exe on an XP box WILL list the AEs by IP address and allow to edit but with different options and different results. For example, on a mac, access control is turned off, yet on the XP box, all connected devices are listed by MAC address and you can't remove them. I get this error when I try: "The Default Host Range must be in the range of 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1. 254" which makes no sense to me, as I think 192.168.1.1 is correct, and is what the main base station is set at. This seems like software insanity to me, and not what i would expect from Apple. But any help is appreciated, as I am trying to troubleshoot some downstream connection problems and until I can be assured that the Main-Remote chain of AES is set properly, I am dead in the water...thx.

This may seem rudimentary, but have you tried a hard reset of all your Airport devices? This invariably overcomes any issues with Airport Utility not seeing your devices. Let us know if this doesn't (or didn't) help overcome your problem.

P.S. You should turn off all your devices and turn them back on with a hard reset one by one, starting with whichever device will serve as the main basestation.
