I imagine that you're missing some kind of DHCP server for your network. The
AirPort Base Station has the ability to do that, so that it can distributes
IP addresses to every device on the network but I'm not sure that the
AirPort Base Station can do it. See if you have a network section in there
and if you have the option of "Distribute IP addresses".

droid n.: [from `android', SF terminology for a humanoid robot of
essentially biological (as opposed to mechanical/electronic) construction] A
person (esp. a low-level bureaucrat or service-business employee) exhibiting
most of the following characteristics: (a) naive trust in the wisdom of the
parent organization or `the system'; (b) a blind-faith propensity to believe
obvious nonsense emitted by authority figures (or computers!); (c) a
rule-governed mentality, one unwilling or unable to look beyond the `letter
of the law' in exceptional situations; (d) a paralyzing fear of official
reprimand or worse if Procedures are not followed No Matter What; and (e) no
interest in doing anything above or beyond the call of a very
narrowly-interpreted duty, or in particular in fixing that which is broken;
an "It's not my job, man" attitude.
