    odd, the airport has nothing differnt on it than other wireless routers do, so i cant imagine what could be wrong, perhaps check your filter settings?

    Are you using DHCP on the wireless network? Assuming you are getting an IP address on the windows machine? (to check, open a command line window on the windows machine and type in ipconfig - should give you the IP addrewss of the machine, and the gateway address for the device connecting to the internet. Sorry I am not really familiar with setting up Apple Mac devices...
