AEBS and ADSL... can't make it work - please help?!?!?

I've searched the forums and the internet and cannot get this to work. We just moved to Japan and are now using ADSL for our connection through HeroNet. If I plug the ADSL modem into the back of my iMac it connect using the ISP settings provided. If I connect the modem to the AEBS the green light comes on the AEBS and I run the Airport Setup Assistant, it tells me I'm connected, Airport signal comes on the top screen bar, a timer starts going indicating active PPPoe connection, I try to bring up a web page and... nothing! Just keeps trying and trying to connect. I've tried restarting the modem, unplugging and plugging back in, unplugging AEBS, restarting the computer... none of the simple of the simple trouble shooting helps. Internet Connect pops up repeated with "Cannot find PPPoe server" message. Network Diagnostics even tells me that when examining the Airport connection "You appear to have a working internet connection" and tells me I have mistyped the website names Obviously, not the problem. Seems Airport thinks it's connected to the internet but the applications can't use it to get online? Any thoughts would be VERY welcome as I've run out of options and really missing Airport. TIA.

Oops. I just realized I'm using AEBS to refer to an Airport Express. I have ONLY an Airport Express at this time. So there is only one ethernet port on the Express and that seems to be the confusion. I can wirelessly configure the Express using the iMac Admin Utility if the Express is plugged into the ADSL modem. I am confident I'm entering everything correctly and once I get the setting updated on the Express, the Airport says it's connecting to the PPPoE server and the timer starts counting next to the Airport status monitor (top of screen) suggesting the computer thinks it's connected. Just no ability to make apps use the internet... enter web page and Safari just spins and spins trying but then eventually says it can't connect. No other apps can get "online" either. Any way to make this work wirelessly with my current setup?

  • A year ago I paid to update my Pages.  If I click on the doc on the desktop the old Pages opens up and I can't save my work. Help!

    A year ago I paid to update Pages to 4.1.  If I click on a Pages doc on the desktop the old Pages opens up and I can't save my work and so I lose what I do.  So for a year I have been remembering to open Pages using the icon on the bottom of the desktop and all is OK.  But when my work is being reviewed and resent to me, then I have problems with opening that file and saving those changes.  So I have been coping and pasting the resent work to me and putting it into a new doc.  
    So today wanting to fix this annoying problem and reading something on this forum I went into applications and moved a Pages something that was in Applications into the iwork 09 file.  A pop up box asked if I wanted to replace the old Pages with the newer version and I clicked Yes. 
    Now I can't open up any of my Pages work on the desktop.
    I have not shut down my laptop and restarted - would this solve the problem?
    I am not going to panic - just yet ... but can anybody help!!

  • Side, back and middle speaker on t7700 not working, please help

    I have had this speaker system for a little while, and it has worked great. Recently the side speakers stopped working, so i unplugged everything, and messed around with some settings. When i plugged it back in it worked fine for about a week or two. Now none of the speakers work, except for the font right and front left. Please help. I tried going to the creative mediasource, and turning on cmss or something, and i couldn't find where to do it. i also tried accessing the eax control panel, but i can't find it under my programs. Please tell me how to make the speakers work. I have a Audigy 2 zs sound card.

    I suspect it's due to the CMSS and not the speaker. The EAX console are located in Start -> Program -> Creative -> Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS -> Creative EAX Console.
    If you still can't find it, I would suggest reinstalling from the CD.

  • I need to transfer information through firewire cable and could not remember how it works, please, help

    Please help, I need urgently to transfer information through firewire cable and I could not remember how it was that I do it. I've connected the computers and restarted one of them by pushing T on startup but it did not work.

    Shut down both Macs.  Connect them via FW cable.
    On the Mac you want to copy FROM.  Start up but make sure you are holding down the T key as soon as you press the power button.  And keep holding down the T key until the FireWire emblem appears on the screen - that's the indicator that the Mac is in Target Disk Mode (TDM).  Note: if you release the T key too soon the Mac won't go into Target Disk Mode.
    Start up the second Mac.  The first Mac will appear in the Finder as a disk.  You can use the Finder to copy whatever you want from the Mac that's in TDM.
    When you're done, shut down both Macs.  The Mac that's in Target Disk Mode can be shut down by holding down the power button until it turns off.

  • My podcast isn't updating and I can't figure out why, please help?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm at my wits end and I can't figure out what's wrong with my podcast in regards to iTunes.
    We have a website we update that originally iTunes was pointed at (http://www.whydaddydrinks.net/?feed=rss2) and then iTunes started having issues with not updating. Recently we tried changing the feed of the podcast to the RSS feed for our podcast hosting account at Podbean (http://whydaddydrinks.podbean.com/feed/) and it's running into the same issue.
    I've checked FeedValidator for both feeds and they're fine (http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.whydaddydrinks.net%2F%3F feed%3Drss2 and http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwhydaddydrinks.podbean.com%2 Ffeed%2F). I've clicked the links to the .mp3 files and they play off the web, so, in theory, there shouldn't be any issue as far as I know; Episode 13 shows up in iTunes but dosn't appear to be connected to the file and Season 2 Episode 1 doesn't show up at all.
    Can any of you offer any suggestions as to what the heck is going on?

    Your Store page is at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/your-book-is-why-daddy-drinks/id515363310?mt =2
    This is using the feed at http://www.whydaddydrinks.net/?feed=rss2 so the other feed URL you posted is irrelevant.
    This feed has episodes up to 13 which contain playable media, and these all show in the Store and when subscribing. However the URL for the media file for episode 13 is
    http://media40.podbean.com/pb/89ea6f327345e33833ff09885e48b8a1/50e904db/data2/bl ogs48/462271/uploads/YBIWDD_Episode13.mp3
    and there is no file at this address. The previous episode downloads OK.
    This feed contains two later episodes but neither has an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of a media file and so the episodes don't show in iTunes. You are using WordPress to make your feed, and this problem arises a lot - it presumably means that you have failed to do something you need to do in WordPress to get the media file into the feed, but I can't advise on specifics of WordPress.
    The other feed has one of these two episodes, and there the latest episode does have an 'enclosure' tag and the episode appears when subscribing manually; however as I say this feed is not in use by the Store.
    So you need to do with the original feed whatever it was you did with the new feed to get the episode into the Store, and you need to chase the missing media file for episode 13.
    If you want to move the Store to using the Podbean feed you need to follow the procedure outlined here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    Note that the title in the Podbean feed is 'whydaddydrinks' which many not be what you want.
