Help!

I got a great deal on an AEBS, so I jumped on it. However, I'm having some issues trying to set it up. I set the password up and etc...however, when I get the option of adding the AEBS to the network, or starting a network up, things start to not work. I choose the "start a new network with new IP addresses" option, but for some reason, it says that I have 2 NAT or something. Apparently "some device over ethernet" already has IP addresses or ports.

What am I doing wrong? I thought I could simply unplug my old linksys router and swap this one in, do the setup, and be done.

Thanks!

Yeah... I had that issue before; did you set up WDS with the AEBS?

oh wait, I think you mean wireless base station? All I have is the aebs
 
Ok, now that I'm home, the problem is a double NAT. what the heck is this? It says I have a private IP address on my ethernet WAN port (which my iMac is plugged into?)
