Problem with Apple Airport on Windows XP

Penfolds

I got a Apple Airport from a friend who had used it before without any problems on his mac.

When i connect it to the back of my XP pc via a cross-over cable and power it on I get all 3 lights on the unit glowing orange.

I've gone to the apple website and followed their instructions (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58613), but when I use the Airport admin utility it doesn't see the unit.

Anyone had any similar problems or have any ideas on what I can try ??

Cheers

hi - i've never been able to admin a Graphite Base Station with the Windows Airport Admin Utility (just the Extreme, but it is also supposed to work with the Snow version)

the downloads I've used have noted in the readme (e.g. current 3.2 version):
This version of the AirPort Admin Utility does not work with the original AirPort Base Station (Graphite).

best would be if you can you get your mate to pop over and config it for you with his Mac (if he has a laptop?)

or see if Freebase will work for you

Thanks DubWireless,
Unfortunately my mate is now in New Zealand so going round to his place isn't so much of an option.
Maybe I'll try bringing it in to the Apple shop in the compustore on Kildare street and see if they can help.
