Do you have only one computer or many that are connecting to the AirPort Express (AX)?

If you only have one, try this:

Configure the AX so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.

Save the settings and close the AirPort Admin Utility.

On your Mac, open Internet Connect.

Click VPN (PPTP).

Choose Edit Configurations from the Configuration pop-up menu.

Choose None from the Encryption pop-up menu.

May I jump into this thread...

This was exactly the solution to get access to Austrian provider - from one iMac by time, the other one is blocked.
Is there any way to
- either do this within Airport BaseStation
- or to distribute a PPTP-connection to other macs at the same AirPort net?

Thanks
