Through trial and error, I was able to resolve most of the issues below. I am now able to connect to the internet with the Dell. However, I still can't print to the Canon i560 that is attached to the AEBS. I can print to the Canon from the iMac and iBook on my wireless network. I remember from my previous postings that one hitch with a print server is if you have things set up using DHCP. Does a printer attached to a base station have it's own IP address? In the instructions on configuring the AEBS, it says to use the IP address of the base station, which is 10.0.1.1. I tried that, and can't print to it from the Dell. The iMac and iBook set it up automatically, so there is no manual configuration.
I feel like since I am able to send jobs to the Canon from the two Macintosh computers, I should be able to accomplish the same thing with the Dell. Every time I try it, I get an error message.
