Your Internet connection has problems.

m Test your Internet connection by connecting to the Internet using your computer’s 

internal modem or another method instead of using the AirPort Base Station.

After you test your Internet connection, make sure to switch your TCP/IP configuration 
back to AirPort. In OS X, choose AirPort in the Show pop-up menu on the Network pane 
of System Preferences. In OS 9, open the TCP/IP control panel, choose Configurations 
from the File menu, and select AirPort.

m Some Internet service providers (ISPs) are not currently compatible with AirPort.

For more information on using the AirPort Base Station with your Internet account, 
contact your ISP or look on the Apple Support Web site at www.apple.com/support

m If there is a microwave oven in the vicinity that is frequently in use, it may cause problems 

with your Internet connection. Use the AirPort Admin Utility to select your base station, 
click Configure, and click the “Interference robustness” checkbox in the AirPort panel.

Your Internet browser can’t load the requested Web page.

m You may have tried to go to a Web page before the AirPort Base Station was finished 

connecting to your ISP. Wait until the AirPort is connected and then go to the Web page 
again. Monitor your connection in Mac OS X with the Internet Connect application. In 
Mac OS 9, use the AirPort application to monitor your connection.

m If you are using a dialup connection, your base station may not be configured to dial 

automatically when you open an application that requires an Internet connection. To 
configure your base station to dial automatically, open the AirPort Admin Utility, select 
your base station, and click Configure. Then click the checkbox in the Internet panel to 
select “Automatically dial.” You can also use the Internet Connect application in Mac OS X, 
or the AirPort application in Mac OS 9 to connect to the Internet, then open your Web 
browser.

You forget your AirPort network or base station password.

You can clear the AirPort network or base station password by resetting the base station. 
Follow these steps:

Make sure that TCP/IP on your computer is configured in the following way:

m In Mac OS X, set the Show pop-up menu on the Network pane of System Preferences

to AirPort.

m Set the Configure pop-up menu is to Using DHCP.

m In Mac OS 9, set the “Connect via” pop-up menu of the TCP/IP control panel to AirPort.

m Set the Configure pop-up menu is to Using DHCP Server.
