This is still unresolved.

An otherwise simple task....
I had the same problem at home when we first bought our Macbooks home - existing network, with existing Windows desktop - fixed it by upgrading the Airport firmware and the notebook Airport software.

I love Macs and would never go back to using Windows (have since moved to Linux for my desktop) but to assume that Macs are 100% problem-free is unrealistic - I constantly will find small things coming up with my Macs that I would have to research up on the net and fix manually. The overall best thing about Macs for me is the fact that I don't have to maintain firewall, antivirus or spyware programs like I do on Windows, and the community that is out there for Mac users. Kind of similar to the community for Porsche drivers.
