If that doesn't fix it for you, check for radio interference and physical barriers. Try setting AirPort Express to a different channel that may be less susceptible to interference, such as channel 1, 6, or 11. Then you should evaluate your site for physical barriers that can block radio transmissions. In the case of AirPort Express, stereo wiring can also be a physical barrier.

Unfortunately, there is a finite number of IP addresses available so Internet service providers (ISPs) typically assign only one IP address per subscriber. Since many homes and small offices have multiple computers with access to the Internet, being limited to a single IP address can pose challenges. However, with NAT a small network of computers can share a single IP address to access the Internet. The Apple AirPort Base Station provides NAT services to both AirPort-equipped clients and to clients connected ]]> Tue, 16 Sep 2003 07:33:57 -0500 Release date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 07:33:57 -0500; Views: 802 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106250 Symptom When you try to connect to (or "associate with") a third-party wireless access point, the password or WEP key does not appear to work.
