Help!

I have a new 15" MacBook Pro (2.8Ghz, 320gb/7200rpm) and an old Airport Express base station.

The base station works fine when connected to other computers (tested with iBook G4, powerbook G4 and 2 windows computers).

When I connect my new MBP it works for around 10 seconds (full signal, the aiport express is about 2m away) then the signal drops to 2/4 (in the menu bar) and i can't get to the internet. When this happens it also disrupts the internet connection for all other computers connected to the network.

SO basically what happens is: network fine and working, connect MBP, network breaks...

any thoughts?

I've tried a soft reset and a hard reset of the base station.

Thanks!
