2 Airport Expresses - Only 1 works at a time

Question

I have two Airport Expresses. One is hooked up in my living room to a pair of remote speakers. The other is hooked up in an office directly to the internet. I can only get one to be recognized at a time. Is it possible to create a network that recognizes both at once?

Answer 1

Henry, I read through the tips on Felix. The IP
address shown for my laptop is 192. (etc) not the
10.1 (etc). This seems to be the problem. But, it
doesn't say on Felix how to fix it. It just says it
is a problem if you don't see the 10.1 IP address.
Kara, I am a bit out of my breath here, since windows is not my cup of tea.
However, the problem is not not being a
10.1.xxx.xxx ,
it is being a
169.xxx.xxx.xxx.
IP.
192 is generally good, and generally means you should be browsing away.
Check, if you can, the other computer ip address and the router address (both computers should have the same router address) .
You should have something like this for the two IPs :
192.===.===.xxx
and
192.===.===.yyy.
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 for both.
= means both computers should have the same number there (it might not be 3 digits) and xxx and yyy are supposed to be different.
Also, it does not have to be 3 digits, depending on the number of computers and your settings xxx could be x and yyy could be y.
Check to see if you can solve the problem. But provide a lot of information on your settings. The more info, the easier it will be to help you.
