[QUOTE="IronMac, post: 335339, member: 7787"] Okay I just kinda glanced over this thread so I could be wrong. But with some modems you have to reboot them before you can attach a new device. The modem detects the MAC address and will only work with that address until it clears its memory, which happens on a reboot. I don't think its an ISP issue that why your getting the run around. I had this issue with both DSL and Cable Modems before I figured it out. It explains why direct computer connections work but putting the router in the middle fails. Reboot your modem then connect your Airport Extreme. [/QUOTE]
