Airport Express Flashing Amber

Just moved to a new apt which offers free T1 internet. I found the active ethernet port and it works fine directly hooked up to the MBP. My express base station is working and communicating fine with my MBP but flashes amber even when ethernet is connected.

Anyone got any ideas? Obviously the internet is active from the wall, is my AE in client mode?

Yeah, I will ask them tomorrow, I dont understand the difference b/w DHCP and all that.
Another funny thing is my PS3 says "No ethernet detected" when I hook it up from the wall to the PS3.

There might be no signal on that Ethernet yet! Your PS3 is saying there's no connection there.

You could plug in your MBP direct to the Ethernet as see if it works. Slim chance of that happening though.

No, that's the weird thing, as my original post says it works fine from Wall>Ethernet>MBP.

Strange thing happened. A few days ago I tried the airport in the morning and still amber. I left it connected and ran some errands and came home maybe an hour later and it was green! Wierd.
