Can't find Hard drive on Airport Network?

Hi, I'm running a wireless network though a new Apple Airport Base Station (n) and had my external hard drive (an Iomega 320gb) set up and all was working fine. I changed my modem recently but could still access the hard drive from my Mac (G4 iBook). All of a sudden though I can't access my hard drive wirelessly although when I plug it directly into my Mac via usb its fine.

What could be the problem?

Update:

Hard Drive has its own power supply.

    It could be that your external drive warmed up a bit and wore a bit now it might need more power to function and it isn't getting it from the base station but is from your iBook. Soooo if you have a USB cable with a double plug then plug in both else try and get a hold of a double plug cable - this may give the drive the power it needs.
