I recently unplugged my airport express and after that i've had some trouble with it. I replugged the router i get a green light and i can see my network come up on my airport and can connect to it, however when i attempt to browse it cannot connect to any page. I've tried directly plugging into ethernet but get the effect. I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the ethernet. I've connected to other wireless network and can browse so i know its not the airport card. I was wondering:

1. If there is a command that i can enter to reset the ethernet so i can then plug the internet into the airport express?
2. Or if there is a setting i somehow changed or need to activate?

Have you tried the airport utility?
This allows you to config everything with your airport express.
I have noticed that sometimes my express doesn't like being unplugged... and that I need to re-config it with the utility to get it working again.

Airport utility can help you get everything set up. Its for mac and pc. But for some reason the optical out on my airport express doesn't seem to work...
