I have an old AirPort Extreme that hadn't been updated for the longest time. I am trying to set up the Admin using my "updated" PowerBook G4 12" laptop. The internet works fine but I just can't seem to be able to gain Admin Control using Airport Utility. My laptop runs on Leopard OS X. Could this be incompatible with "backward" AirPort Extreme?
Thanks for your help!

Have you tried resetting the base station - first by unplugging it from everything (power, ethernet etc.) and waiting a few minutes; second (if that doesn't help) resetting it with the reset button. The second method will reset the configuration to default settings allowing you to start the configuration from scratch. You may need a hi-tech intervention (such as a bent paper clip) to actually depress the button.
Thank you so much! It worked! Once the firmware was updated to version 5.7, everything worked out as they were supposed to. Thanks everyone for your suggestions and help! I really appreciated it!
