[QUOTE="dmoon74, post: 479186, member: 36881"] I've searched & searched...I'm not able to connect to the internet. Spent 3 hours with no success... Never had a wireless connection let alone a mac. I have a cable modem that is connected to my pc via an ethernet cable. When I setup my mbp, I disconnected the ethernet cable on the pc end & connected it to the back of the airport. I then setup the mbp airport utility. Created names & passwords, wpa etc. However I am still getting a flashing amber light. When I go under Airport Utility > Summary. I am getting 2 errors under the Base Station Status. If I expand on that, the 2 errors listed are "Internet Connection - Your base station does not have a valid IP. Make sure your base station is connected to the broadband modem or local network. " I'm pretty sure the hardware is fully connected. The 2nd error message is "Default Settings - This base station has default settings. You should configure your base station to connect to the internet, secure the wireless network, and provide a base station password" I am pretty sure that if the Internet Connection error message was satisifed, then this error message would go away. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? [/QUOTE]
