wirless problem - aiport base station

Hello,

I just lost my wireless network (meaning the network no longer shows up as a drop down option). Moreover, the Airport Extreme Utility can't find the basestation (I scan and "rescan" and it does not locate). the base station itself has the blinking amber light. My internet connection to the Mini I am running works fine - but if I can't get the wireless to work, than I cannot connect my PC from work. Any thoughts? The network diagnostics under system preferences confirms the airport is on, but is not connected to a network.

Thanks,

jason

Tried to reset the Airport? There should be a small hole on it called Reset or showing a small arrow pointing left or right. Next to it should be a hole with a button inside that you need a thin tool to reach. Press the button (not piercing it) for 10 seconds and reconfigure the device?
