[QUOTE="SCDI, post: 799608, member: 85626"] I am replacing my Airport Extreme base station with a Time Capsule. I have a cable modem that is connecting to the TC. I can run through setting up the wireless network (selecting "Create a wireless network") then my internet provider (Comcast) tells me to use Dynamic IP and DHCP. The TC resets, then the amber light blinks & it tells me: [INDENT]Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP address. Make sure your Apple wireless device is connected to your broadband modem or local network, verify your settings, and try again. If you still can't connect, contact your Internet service provider. [/INDENT] Here's the mystery: It connects me to the Internet just fine—that's how I'm able to reach this forum, for instance. But it doesn't set up a wireless network—neither my Airport Express, iPhone nor laptop can see it, although the TC does "see" the network I've set up & named. I've upgraded to 10.5.6, this TC is connected to an Intel-based MacPro. What am I doing wrong? [/QUOTE]
