Airport Express Internet Access Stopped Working

The Airport Express was working fine until today with my G4 Powerbook. There has been no known configuration change between last night and tonight. The Powerbook indicates that it is receiving the network signal from the Airport Express. But it will not connect to the internet. I cycled the power on the cable modem, the router, and the Airport Express. No luck. I directly connected the Ethernet cable that was connected to the Airport Express to the Powerbook and the connection to the internet was made with no problem. I reconnected the AE to the ethernet cable and again, no internet. Any suggestions?

What firmware version is running on your Airport Express (check using the Airport Admin Utility)?

I'm joining in 'cause I believe I have the same problem.
My set-up is: 1 PC(XP)(wlan),1 iBookG4(Airport card),1 G4desktop,1 Wallstreet and Roadrunner Router connected to AE . I have a working network ,files can be transferred all over the network but every now and then iBook looses Internet connection and won't let me renew DHCP lease,meaning I can't open any websites,read mail and so on...
THe XP on Wlan works just fine
Can't think of any solution because the network is ok,just the wep pages won't load. I changed AE to bridge mode yesterday,can this cause the problem?
Can bridge mode only handle one MAC address?
