I just performed the last update to 10.6.3 along with the Airport
Utility update to 5.5.1 on my MacBook. I have an Airport Base Station
Extreme, about a year old, that works great (even with my Dell).
However, after the Airport Utility update, Airport Utility doesn't see
my AEBS. It says no Airport devices are in range but I'm connected
solidly to the 5GHz frequency. I haven't used the Utility since I setup
my AEBS so I'm not sure if I'm missing something or not. It was fairly
straightforward if I remember correctly. Advice? Thanks.

Not sure what is going on in your case, but the latest Airport Utility
is working fine for me (though I'm still on 10.6.2), with similar age
Airport Extreme and Airport Express.

You don't need to do anything special - just run Airport Utility and it
should list all Airport base stations on the network.

If you can't see anything, there may be a problem with Bonjour. Get hold
of Bonjour Browser and see what it reports. I see a category "Ariport
Base Station" with 2 entries.

You could also try installing the Windows version of Airport Utility on
your Dell and see whether it can access your base station.

It is possible that the issue could be with the base station advertising
its availability via Bonjour rather than your computer(s) being able to
receive that information.

Thanks. It works now. I just power-cycled the AEBS and Airport Utility
sees it now. Not sure why.
