Re: weird problem with airport extreme
Thanks to the couple of you who replied about my strange airport extreme problem. It has gone away as mysteriously as it came. Go figure. I guess that's a good problem to have, one that fixes itself.

Re: weird problem with airport extreme
I once got this and it was resolved by rebooting the cable modem. If you have COX they won't directly help you fix the problem because they don't support routers. Also you did not perchance change where the ethernet cables are plugged in did you? There is one place that is marked as WAN and it should have the cable modem connected to that port. If you need help send an e-mail directly to me at jonc...@cox.net I probably won't be back on until 8:30 AM Eastern US time.

Re: weird problem with airport extreme
Mary, SOunds like your cable modem is not in bridge mode. You might want to check with the cable company and see how you put the modem back into bridge mode.

weird problem with airport extreme
Hi all, I've been using this airport extreme for a while with no problems. Then our cable went out today and I had to reset the modem and the router, per cable company instructions. Things began to work again, and now I'm getting a problem report from airport utility saying I have a double nat problem and the following message. This Apple Wi-Fi base station has a private IP address on its Ethernet WAN port. It is connected to a device or network that is using Network Address Translation (NAT) to provide private IP addresses. You should change your Apple Wi-Fi base station from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode. I'm using a cable modem which, to the best of my knowledge, should not be set up as is being recommended by the airport utility. How in heaven's name would an airport extreme get a private ip address on its input? I'm reluctant to make the recommended change for fear of screwing something up.
