Can't Configure Airport Extreme Base Station

[calabasas]

I recently purchased an iMac and the set up was flawless from my "old" G-5. When I open Airport Uility, I can see the base station. However, we I go to configure it, initial set up or manually, all I get the is the spinning mandala and then a message that the software is not finding the base station. The wireless network is working great, but I need to the ability to configure it. Any suggestions? :confused:

Try connecting via an ethernet port and see if that helps.

Reset the router and try to configure it via Ethernet.

I tried using an ethernet cable from my iMac to the base station but still could not get the configuration to open (spinning mandala moment). :(
