This has been discussed before and never properly resolved. I also have a
1st-gen Airport Base station which uses the internal modem rather than
broadband. Under both Mac OS 9 and X it provides flawless connection, giving
DHCP addresses to both an 8500 connected via Ethernet cable, and to an iBook
with AirPort card and a 1400 with Farallon SkyLine card. When I had my YDL
box in the home office, it was able to obtain a DHCP address from the
ethernet connector but that connection NEVER worked. It was unable to see
the internet and was unseen on the internal LAN.
