Hi folks,
I just bought a used Airport and it seems to work fine. I was able to connect to it easily using my MacBook. However, there isn't any Internet activity.
A little background: A couple months ago I switched from DSL to Cable. With DSL I was able to simply unplug the ethernet cable from my eMac and plug it in to my MacBook--simple, easy. When the Cable model showed up I was able to connect it to my eMac. I tried doing the same thing (unplugging the ethernet cable from the eMac and plugging it in to my MacBook) and it didn't work. Now I have one computer that works with the Internet and I have my MacBook which once in a while picks up wireless signals. I decided to get an Airport so I could plug it in to my Cable modem connect to the Internet with my MacBook. So far: no luck. I am able to connect to the Airport with my MacBook, but there doesn't seem to be any Internet activity. All three lights on the Airport are flashing--so I'm not sure what is up. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Anthony
