Airport Utility in Yosemite simply doesn't see my 802.11ac Extreme (which I'm connected to via wifi) or my older Express (message at the bottom: No configured Airport base stations have been found. Airport Utility will continue searching). They used to show up perfectly fine. Now all I get is the Internet "globe" and nothing else. Airport Utility on my iPhone, though, works perfectly fine, allowing me to manage both base stations.

Do I need to "reset" AU? I've never seen this behavior before.

In my experience, AU uses IPv6 to find devices. Is IPv6 turned on on your computer, and/or have you changed anything about the IPv6 settings?

I haven't touched IPv6 settings at all. It's set to be configured automatically.
