The logical thing to do is to establish if each component in the chain works.

Can you access the internet without using the Airport Express? If so, your internet connection and modem are OK.If not there may be a problem with your internet connection or modem or both. Do the obvious and check for loose or incorrect cable connections. Try rebooting the modem.

When setting this up you should have your internet cable plugged into the modem and then an ethernet cable from your modem to the WAN socket on the Airport Express. ( Forgive me if you know all this but I can't see your installation) Try using a couple of ethernet cables just in case the one you are using is faulty.

To test the Airport Express is functioning connect your laptop to the base station using an ethernet cable. Can you still get the internet?

If not try turning off the power to the modem and the base station for about 30 seconds. Hopefully when you restore the power the modem and base station should re-boot and allow you to access the net via the ethernet cable.

Post your answers so far and then we'll move on from there.
