Anybody got some ideas about setting up Airport express for a wireless connection? We want to set up a mini-network with my husband's ibook and my powerbook but we can't connect even one to the airport express.

I connected my new powerbook directly to the modem etc no trouble, but when I plug in the airport there's no joy.

Firstly the airport express just blinks orange..never gets to green.

The instructions say go to airport setup and follow the directions. But there comes a time to choose the airport and it's not there; or something called apple network followed by numbers is there. If I select configure and there's no connection.

The airport admin is even more confusing.

I'm lost. This is all new to me.

Anybody got any clues?

Hi Rosemary,

Plug your ADSL Modem Ethernet Cable & USB printer cable into Airport Express BEFORE you plug Airport Express into Power outlet ?
Then wait until the status light glows solid green.

Open Airport Express Assistant and 'Create a New wireless Network'.

Cheers,
