So I am having a problem with my snow Airport Extreme base station and have literally exhausted most of my ideas.

I get a signal fine from the base station, but when I go to load up a webpage, I get nothing. Safari just acts like it is trying to load it. While all this is happening, the base station center light is solid, with no activity from the side lights. However--if I plug the ethernet cable in directly, pages load fine.

The computers it's happening on:
PowerBook G4
MacBook
wired ethernet provided by my apartment complex

I haven't made any changes to my AE settings recently, except I added my PS3's Mac address to the access control. However, the issue started sometime yesterday, long after I changed the settings to accomodate the PS3.

I've already tried a hard reset and I get nothing. Anyone have any ideas? Could the base station be friend--is that even possible?

Any help would be awesome. I am just so frustrated dealing with this.

It could be fried, but if you are getting a cabled system to work, then it is probably just misbehaving. On one of your Macs, open up the Network System Preference when you are trying to connect with Airport. What do your TCP/IP settings say?
