AEX as client with Win 2000...Can it work?

I thought I was rather AirPort savvy after successfully wading through all my problems setting it up under XP. Then a friend asked if I could help him get his AEX up and running. Five hours later I am still at a loss. With an eathernet connection the airport admin software connects to the unit and all is well. But the unit still does nothing but flash amber when no wires are connected. He wants his Airport Express to join the existing wirless network. His setup is as follows:
Windows 2000
Trendnet router (the same that I am using)
No WEP or WPA protection
Network name "wlan-g"
No MAC filtering
Server assigned DHCP/IP
Admin utility setup with the same details as above
Factory reset unit w/ latest firmware
Thanks in advace for any help

Presumably you followed David Lovell's instructions at:

If the PC running Windows 2000 can "see", view, and alter the configuration of the Airport Express, then the PC is not the cause of the problem.
I don't immediately see what you are doing wrong based on what you have told us. Long shot but - you might try renaming the router using only letters, numbers, and no punctuation like the "-" character.
Trying to go for excessive range, having the Airport Express located behind a pile of cables and stereo equipment, and radio interference from neighboring networks can also play a big role in preventing the Airport Express from communicating with the router.

  • Ipod nano possible with win 2000???

    my wife just got an ipod nano \(3rr gen) for her bday, and we have a computer with win 2000. now the only itunes we can find for win 2000 is ver. 7.3. when i downloaded this it tells me that i need ver. 7.4 or better. anyone got any info or tips for me... PLEASE

    NO. That is NOT what the website says. When you go to the 732 for Windows 2000 d/l page, it clearly states you can use Win2k. The website says "iTunes is the best way to enjoy your digital music and video with your PC, iPod and Apple TV. iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000 is designed to work with Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later. To use iTunes with Windows XP or Windows Vista, visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ to download the latest version. Use iTunes to import CDs or download songs and videos from the iTunes Store. Make playlists perfect for any occasion. Burn playlists to CDs and play them on your home stereo. Sync your media with iPod to enjoy it on the go, or play your collection on your TV with Apple TV."
    Why have so many missed this??? Apple is clearly stating they support Win2k - including sync to ipod. I so got one. I d/l the iTunes 732 for Win2k and it works fine - to play music (using it right now). But once I connect my new nano, I get the error message "The iPod 'IPOD' cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.4 or later. Go to www.blah blah to d/l v7.4..." So.... what now??? I'm stumped. And never-mind the "win2k is old and nobody supports it..." stuff... Microsoft still offers SP4 for d/l.
    Why would Apple put a utility in a backward compat. program that is not backward compatible?????
    In addition (and this may be over my head), but why does the website show the file @ 47.7MB, put once on my hd it shows 37.9MB?? I've d/l the file twice to be sure but have the same result.
    Please forgive me - I am not shooting the messenger, I'm terribly confused. I am clearly missing something. Would someone PLEASE set me straight??? I'm a big boy - I can take it.

  • Win XP Client Cannot Connect to Mac OS X 10.4.4 Server but Win 2000 Can

    Anyone run into this problem? Just basic Apple/Windows stand alone, no domain or interaction with other Windows Servers. User can log on fine with Windows 2000 client, but same user cannot connect with Windows XP client on same network.
    Any workarounds out there?
    Mac G4 MDD, 1GB RAM, 80MB main drive, 400GB data Mac OS X (10.4.4)

    I had trouble with a WinXP client a while back, and
    only vaguely rememeber things I did to fix it. I'm
    thinking it's the Win system, not the Mac. On the win
    machine, try deselecting the box "Enable IEEE 802.1x
    authen. for this network" in the Properties >
    Authentication tab for your network
    interface.
    Thank you for the suggestion. It worked!

  • Problem using instant client with Win 7

    Hi,
    I have a Powerbuilder application that runs very well with Win XP and Oracle client 8 to 10.
    With new computers (Win 7), we try to use instant client... but there are problems with accents ! In fact, all accents are replaced by a "¿" in the database.
    It only appears when we are using our programs from a Win 7 machine with instant client.
    Do you know if there is something to configure to solve this problem ?
    Best regards.

    If the characters only appear on certain clients, then they are NOT being "replaced ... in the database".  What you are seeing is an issue with presentation, not data.

  • Installing 8.1.6 Client on win 2000 - Compaq Evo

    We have just had delivered a number of new Compaq Evo PCs with Windows 2000 and Compaq software pre-installed. On trying to install 8.1.6 Client nothing happens - the setup.exe does not run. We have tried closing the Compaq software that initiates at start up but that seems to make no difference. Has anyone else had similiar problems with Compaqs or knows how to get thiese install working?
    Many thanks.

    Are they Pentium 4 PC's? There's a known installation bug with the Oracle Universal Installer and Pentium 4's. If that's
    the case one of the workarounds is to copy the entire CD to a temp directory on the PC, rename the file symcjit.dll to
    symcjit.old and then run the setup.exe file from the temp\install\win32 directory on the PC.

    As Windows 7 uses NTLM2 by default, please try to set it to “Send LM & NTLM – Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”

  • Can't open camera RAW image in CS4/Bridge with Win 8.1.  Worked fine with XP

    I upgraded from Win XP to 8.1 and got a new computer in the process.  I'm using CS4, and I think that works okay, except it does not recognize a RAW file.  Bridge won't open thumbnails for RAW files, and if I try to open one it doesn't open it in Bridge; it goes straight to CS4 and that says it's 'not the right kind of document'. It doesn't matter if the file is on the hard drive or on a Canon card in a reader. Bridge will display thumbnails for JPG files and open them in CS4.  It will not show the thumbnails for TIF files, but it will open them in CS4. How do I fix this?

    I did all that, in the order you recommended.  I downloaded, expanded and installed all three updates. I then checked the start page for CS4 and it is at 11.0.2. I also rebooted, but Bridge still won't display thumbnails of RAW files, will not open a RAW file in Bridge but sends it to CS4 which still says it is not the right kind of document.  If I try to open a RAW file in CS4 directly, I do get thumbnails, but it won't open the file.  On a more positive note, I called a friend who also has CS4 and who also recently bought a new computer.  However, his is a laptop with Win 8 Professional. He had not tried to use Photoshop since he got the new laptop, and he discovered that he had the very same problem. However, downloading the updates fixed him right up. My new machine is a desktop with Win 8.1.  What do I do now?

    The way to setup windows sharepoints other than your home folder can be done using an easy to use shareware app called Sharepoints.
    Set up your mounted CD as a sharepoint and your windows PC should be able to log into your mac and see the whole volume.

  • File Sharing OSX with Win 2000 & XP

    Hi, I have an existing MS Windows network that works fine and has a LinkSys Router and Switch. I am attempting to connect my G4 PB via Ethernet but have trouble mounting the Win volume. I can see, and transfer files, to the G4 via Win Networking but can not mount the Win volume from my Apple. I can see the Win computer, via network, on my Apple.. double click on the computer, get the window that asks me to select the volume, select it, get the authentication (workgroup, name, password) window, click OK and get a window that says "The alias xxx could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found." This was working before my F&R with the help of the Apple engineering team. There was a single check box, on the Windows side, that fixed this but I can't remember what it was. PLEASE HELP...

    Hi, After my post, I followed your link and realized that what I suggested had been covered by the article, sorry. Sounds like we have similar situations so let's see if we can work this out... I remember when I originally connected my G4 to my Windows network last January, I could not get the volumes on the Win side to mount because of this "alias" error message. I finally resolved the problem with a setting change on my Win PC, not the Apple. I have a LinkSys Cable Modem, Router, Switch and AirPort Extreme (wireless) for my Network equipment. All PC's and APE are connected to the Switch via ethernet. The Switch is connected to the Router and the Router to the Cable Modem. All connected devices are set to DHCP (automatic) and my Router is configured as the DHCP server. All devices automatically are assigned an IP from the Router when they boot up. Now... when your Mini is connected via ethernet... what do you see when you click on Network? I see my Win computers with the name I set up under Network ID. When I click on the computer (to mount a volume) I get the first window which asks me to select a shared volume on that computer, then I get the authentication window. Make sure you have entered the correct workgroup and user name/password for that computer/volume. I find it easier if I just share the whole drive for testing as it is easier than setting up individual shares. Once it is working, I can go back and re-configure.

  • Is Oracle 8.0.4 compatible with Win 2000 Advanced Srv

After I have installed Win2000 or Winxp Pro( first time boot, it pop blue screen with the msg systemroot\system\ntxxx.dll..I have to turn off and and turn on computer, it let me to boot up.) After that, when I restart the computer it boot up with blue screen(Sometimes, it let me boot up without any problem). I didn't install any third party software(OS only). It's weird. Even though, I have installed FAT file system and the result is the same.  I have tested windows 98. It's very stable and no problem at all.Here is my PC configuration
    AMD 950
    MS-6167

    Any clue? Do I need to update bios? But I can't find MS-6167 model bios. How come it's doesn't support win2000 and win xp? I got another PC AMD 1.1 Thunderbird with ASUS A7V.

  • Boot Camp with Win 8 Can't See The USB External Drive [MBR with NTFS, Fat32, HFS Partitions]

    Hi. When I boot to Boot Camp with the latest Apple Windows Support drivers can't see my USB Flash Drive, DVD and OS X volumes but not my USB external drive that has an MBR partition scheme (using iPartition from GUID) and in there it has different volumes [HFS when I boot to Snow Leopard, Fat32, NTFS]. What can I do with Boot Camp to make it see my USB external drive and why isn't it seeing the USB when it can see the USB flash drive both use USB?
    Thank you in advance.

  • N97 Sync With Win 2000

    Hi,
    Just got the N97 as an upgrade to my 5800.As with the 5800, I've a problem in trying to sync with my work PC which runs on Win2K. Current versions of PC Suite and Ovi Suite doesn't support Win2K, so my question is, does any of the older Win2k compatible versions sync with the N97? If not, is there anyway to sync my office calendar with the N97?

    hmm i think that you might be able to connect your phone via  ovi suite through usb option and sync your contacts in that way. for contacts and messages also consider those options until ovi figures itself out and actually becomes stable and usable.
