Yes I remember that you said that. Well put. Robert, I would try relocating the Airport Express for some time to see if the behavior you are seeing changes. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Robert, is this thing still gimped? Suddenly, two days ago, my Airport Express, perfectly operable for a year or so began refusing the connection to my living room. Green light lit, and even more curious, Airfoil had no problems connecting at all! I looked where I could look, found nothing to see. Eventually I saw someone capring on discussions.apple.com with no responses but his own: He had simply rebooted his Airport Extreme Base station. I unplugged mine for 20 seconds, plugged it back in. It rebooted. Everything is fine. Go figure... -- If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?

It's been working properly lately. I have no idea why. I can't think of anything I changed since it was finicky, that would make it work now. Thanks.
