Unable to set password - airport utility crashes!

Question

Hi All,
I just got a new Airport Extreme and installed the Airport Utility from the Cd (v5.5) on Snow Leopard (upgrade from the latest OS.
When I try to set the AP using the Assist Me mode - it refuses to pass the setting password (and I have only WPA2 and unsecured - which is also odd), with an alert box "a wireless network is required to continue"
So - I switch to manual mode - and select he Airport button from the toolbar (where there are also Internet, Printers, etc). Then I select the Wireless Tab (the third tab from the left).
In this tab window, there is the text "More Options" and a drop menu button, when click it there is one menu option "wireless network options" , when I choose this menu item, the utility always crashes.
===
Any ideas how set a password (WPA, WPA2, WEP), or mac filtering?
Thank you ,
Omer.

I fixed it by changing the way my InitialDirContext is created.
Previously I was using:
InitialDirContext ctx = oracle.ldap.util.jndi.ConnectionUtil.getDefaultDirCtx(hostname, portNum, adminName, adminPass);
Now I'm using:
Hashtable env = new HashTable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://" + hostname + ":" + portNum);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, adminName);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, adminPass);
InitialDirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
