Help
Hoping that someone can help me. I'm running 10.6.2 on a Macbook Pro and have an Airport Express unit in the home. My GF can access the wireless signal fine as can my iPhone 3GS, but on the Macbook it connects only sporadically and even when it sees the network and I enter the WPA2 Personal password it says "connection timeout" and simply refuses to connect. Restarting the unit used to help but no longer. My old Macbook worked just fine with the same unit. Any thoughts??
PS if I turn airport on and off several times at random it will sometimes connect 100% - and there's nothing I am doing differently.

Have you tried resetting the AirPort Express? This is accomplished by inserting a paper clip into a hole and holding it until the status light starts to flash.
I'm posting this on an MBP using an AirPort Express having just updated to Snow Leopard (and 10.6.2) today and haven't had any problems.

Thanks mickdevlin, I will try that. Apologies for the tardy response however I only just got it working again (after about 3,000,000,000,000 attempts. I had tried resetting via AE Utility and then using no password access etc etc etc etc but all to no avail. Will try this and let you know thankyou.

If the reset fails the next thing to do is reinstall the 10.6.2. I had a similar problem to you under Leopard about six months ago. Only the application of an update to the OS fixed it.
You may have to look in the <name of your hard drive>/Library/Receipts folder and remove the Mac OS X 10.6.2 update package file (if present.)
