Full Wireless Signal but Cannot Connect to Internet

I am using an Airport Extreme -- just set it up.

I have one ethernet cable going from Airport to my Desktop, which can connect to the internet just fine.

However, the wireless network is not working. My laptop gets full bars on the wireless signal, and the network appears fine -- but when I try to access the internet via wireless, I cannot connect ("You are not connected...")

I've tried tons of different settings, no luck.

Any ideas how to trouble shoot this? I've been at it all night, and it's maddening.

2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Intel, Mac OS X (10.5.2), FCP 6.0.2

Spoke with Apple Support and they helped me out. Turns out that under the Internet Connection settings I had it set to Bridge Mode, when it needed to be set to Share a Public IP Address. After changing that, then doing a power cycle (turning off Modem for 5 min, and Airport Extreme) it works fine.
