You might want to try connecting the MBP to the AEBS by Ethernet while you set it up. Sometimes that helps.

AirPort Utility recognizes the base station (placed next to the computer) but then never stops "reading airport extreme configuration", at least not for 15 minutes or longer. This occurs through several resets of the base station with or without unplugging and replugging the power cord, and through reinstallation of MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.3. Any suggestions? Should it just be allowed a longer read time? _______________________________________________ PowerBook mailing list PowerBook at listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/powerbook -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
