Hello! I have an issue with an Airport Extreme. It has all of a sudden stopped distributing IP addresses in it's specified range, and instead the laptops (running Windows XP Pro) are getting their IP's from our DHCP server. This just started happening and it has worked for the past two months previous. The Airport has Base Station version 5.5.1 (we won't upgrade until the bugs in the latest version are fixed). We have already done a hard reset and reconfigured the device. The laptops can browse the network and internet with the DHCP IP address, but cannot print to the USB printer connected to the Airport. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

Is the AirPort base station connected to your network via its WAN port?
Then I'm stumped. In the base station's default (reset) configuration, "Distribute IP addresses" should show up as enabled in AirPort Admin Utility and it should be distributing addresses in the 10.0.1.x range to its wireless clients.
