Hi,
just got a new iMac G5 (Tiger) and an Aiport Express.
My ISP is SBC (formerly pacbell.net).
If I ethernet the computer to the DSL modem: no problem. The problems are when I connect through Aiport.
I can connect to the internet just fine with my old Airport base station (original white, not Extreme) but can't with new Airport Express.
But even with the old Aiport there are some problems.
I can only get on the internet when the Network control panel is set to PPPOE, but then the Airpot utility can't see the base sattion; it can only see the base station when the Network control panel is set to DHCP, and then I get disconnected from the Internet. The base station is set to PPPOE.
With the Airport Express, I can't get on the internet either way: it says either it can't find the PPOE seerver or that it is "negotiating". Again, the Aiport utility can only see the Express when the Nextwork panel is set to DHCP.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Geno

could they be related to above problems?
