I can't conect my son's powerbook to our cable modom via airport express. my powermac G4 is conected to the internet via ethernet to the cable modom. When I disconnect the powermac and connect the airport express to the modom the green light light up on the airport express, but I can't get a connection to the powerbook. The powerbook CAN connect to the internet via our neighbors network at times, but it's a weak connection. when I open "internet connect" in the menubar it says I have a strong signal level in the airport statusbar, but I'm not connected. The statusbar icon says "looking for PPPoE host". I tried turning off "connect via PPPoE" in network prefernces. I tried doing a soft reset on the airport express with no results. What am I doing wrong?
