I just moved into a new apartment and got my cable internet set up. At my previous apartment, I had cable internet (through a different company) hooked up to my Airport, and had no problems with wireless internet. I also have had no problems picking up wireless signals at different locations (prior to this).

When I plug the ethernet cable from the modem into the Airport, it blinks orange for a few seconds, and then turns green, and my laptop (ibook G4) displays a full signal strength and the name of the network scrolls along the top bar. But, when I open my browser, I can't load a page - I get a little bit of the "blue loading bar", but everything just sits there. I have tried unplugging everything and trying again (several times) but no luck.

I can take the ethernet cable out of the Airport and plug it directly into my laptop, and it works instantly with no problems, so I am assuming the problem lies with the Airport or something with my internet setup. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
