I had what at least sounds like the same problem. When I went back
over my settings for the 10th time (it seemed anyway) it turned out I
hadn't actually named my basestation newton as I recall. As soon as I
made this correction, I was in business on the net. I think I have
this right but I didn't go downstairs to check which airport setting
I changed to get things going.
Good luck, it's great fun.
