Thanks Greg. I sorted the problem around the coupler. I reset the
modem and unplugged and replugged the coupler and now all is well.
Thanks and best wishes

No surprises here really. The problem is almost certainly the
"Ethernet
coupler". I suggest removing it and plugging the Airport back into
the
single cable. If it works without the "coupler" then that's the
problem.
If you need to move the Airport further from your ADSL/Cable modem
then I
suggest a longer cable and not a coupler.
Try pinging the ADSL modem from your Mac to see if the Airport has a
connection to the DSL modem.

Subject: airport strangeness
I had no problem connecting to the Internet wirelessly via
AirportExpress. Recently we moved the Airport base station and added
an inline ethernet coupler to gain the extension of the ethernet
cable. Since then we are unable to connect to the web. However,
network diagnostics shows we have an airport connection, there are
five bars indicating a strong signal. My iBook thinks it is connected
by ethernet instead of airport.
Have tried all known (to us) possibilities, any suggestions greatly
appreciated.
Thanks and best wishes
