    Hey there! Really really really hoping someone can help. Got my playbook on Thursday and was so excited, only to have one problem after the next.
    I ended up having to goto a hotspot to get everything started up and all the new software downloaded.
    So here's where i'm at:
    My router is an Apple Airport Express.
    When I try to connect to my network on my playbook, it says "unable to acquire an ip adress." So i manually type in an ip address. It now looks like it's connected, but it's not and i can't access any web pages/applications etc.
    I've read a bunch of forums, and i even tried changing the security settings on my airport express, but still won't work.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Please help.
    Thanks.
    oh yah, my security setting on my airport are wap2 personal

    Since you are trying to use the AE as an access point, I have to ask:

    What else is wirelessly connected to the AE?
    What is the AE wired to?
