Cable Modems don't like it when you switch different devices. Try pulling the plug on the cable modem, wait a few minutes and then plug it back in. The cable modem should then indentify the AE and give you an IP.

Holy **** you have the same problem I had a couple of days ago! I can help you. I called apple and they brought me through all the basic steps, and eventually I got a product specialist and he told me to go to:

Finder-Applications-Utilities-AirPort Setup Assistant

Try that and follow all of the steps. It worked for me and I had the exact same problem you have. Good luck.

A lot of cable internet companies use the connected devices MAC address (not Mac) to assign your IP address. You may have to call your cable internet provider as when you signed up with them, they registered whatever was initially plugged into the cable modem (most likely your computer). The MAC address on your Mac is different then the MAC address on your Airport.
