Well, Based on some suggestions I connected the eMac to the DSL modem directly. All OK. Then I reconnected the airport, rebooted the base station and he DSL modem and reset the base station using the eMac. At first it looked like this did the trick as Internet COnnect showed that the eMac was connected, however neither of my browsers could connect to any site - even after a reboot.
THe pismo was looking for a p/w (which I changed on the new set up) and then it found the base station and the internet. THe wierd part is that the eMac and the Pismo show the same connect time, which they must be getting from the base station, so what would cause my browsers on the eMac not to be able to find a website?
