Check to see if you have connection sharing set to "Share a public IP address" under internet in airport utility after selecting your AE.

If you get a warning about double NAT, just dismiss it (ignore it). That's what you want.

Here's my old post on this ...

You want the double NAT thing. In that mode, the router should hide everything behind it.

That said, I tried getting it to to work at the Westin Times Sq recently, and I couldn't get it to work there, something funky was going on there. I gave up since I get free internet there anyway. Other hotels, it works fine. I didn't try bridge mode. In "bridge mode" they see every device behind the AE.
