Hello, I did some research and I think I might have stumbled on to something but here is what I found. Just for information this also happens on my XP laptop.

Window Firewall is OFF, I am running Norton 2009 Internet security on the Vista machine. I checked the set up and smart firewall is on. Bonjour is set to receive and send other than that is there any other setting that could help.

My DSL connects to my Airport express. My HP C6280 is connected to my iMac and I am working wireless from my Vista and XP computer

I went thru the Bonjour and it saw the computer and printer let me go thru the steps but did not connect. I opened the log file and watched my lights on my DSL box and they never moved. The log file did not log anything. The internet works fine thru the AE. I hope I provided enough information.  Thanks
