Airport Express ; Airtunes via ethernet not working...

Hi there,
I have a problem with my airport and I can't find any solution online...I explain. I have an airport express (version 7.5.2) connected to my network on ethernet. The airport is connected to a router in bridge mode.
When I want to listen music with my laptop on Wifi it work perfectly but I can't make my desktop computer, which is also connected to the router via ethernet, detect the speaker with Airlay and I can't find why !
I already tried to disable firewall of course but no luck...
The only possible cause I see is that perhaps IPV6 is needed to make it work ??
Any explanation ?

Your laptop presumably is connecting via Wifi directly to the Airport Express.  From the perspective of the AE, it is on the LAN side.  Your AE is connected via eithernet to the rest of your network.  From the perspective of the AE, this is on the WAN side.
Use Airport Utility to check the settings of the AE. 
1) Select the Airport Express Device
2) Click Manual Setup
3) From the icons across the top, click "Music"
4) Is the "Enable Airplay over WAN" checkbox checked?  I'm guessing probably not.  Click that checkbox and update the AE (it will restart).  You should then be able to see it from the WAN/ethernet side.

  • Airport Express: AirTunes via ethernet?

    My current setup:
    Verizon DSL wireless router & an Airport Express on a WEP wireless network (the Airport Express is not wired to the router).
    MacBook streaming music to my stereo wirelessly via AirTunes.
    My question:
    If I connect a Mac Pro to my AirPort express via ethernet
    1) will I be online?
    and
    2) will I be able to stream music to my stereo from the Mac Pro?

    If I connect a Mac Pro to my AirPort express via ethernet
    1) will I be online?
    Only if the Verizon router supports ProxySTA. Normally when the AirPort Express (AX) is connected as a wireless client the Ethernet port is not active.
    2) will I be able to stream music to my stereo from the Mac Pro?
    Only if the Ethernet port on the AX is active.

  • Airport Express and Extreme are not working together

    My new airport extreme came up just fine. All my Macs and PCs connected effortlessly.
    The same can not be said for my Airport Express. I reset it, and it takes the config, then vanishes. Connected directly to my Mac, to the Airport Express, or via wireless to the express, it still just disappears and gives a blinking amber light.
    I tried re-installing 6.3 firmware, with no luck. Any ideas?

    Dan,
    Thanks for the clarification. The behavior you're encountering sounds as if it may be the expected behavior of an Airport Express after it has been set to client mode, but wasn't able to join the network. Typically when setting up an Airport Express you'd want the unit to be in the same room as the Extreme, and then if the Airport LED is not going green then it's typically an authentication association relates situation. Have you reviewed knowledge base article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302153 ?

  • Airport Express USB printing suddenly not working

    Hi, we have an airport express which doesn't seem to be working properly. We've had it at least 2 years now. All has been working fine but suddenly USB printing is not working on it. When I load up AirPort utility and go to the printers tab, it says "USB printers: None". It didn't use to say that! I've checked the printer - it works fine when printing direct from computer to printer over USB (hence both the printer and the USB lead are fine). We use the airport express for iTunes and it works fine. The airport is running version 6.3. We used to print (when it worked) from both Windows computers running XP and from macs running Snow Leopard...
    Any thoughts?
    Edward

    Erm... help!
    In a bid to try to sort out the problem myself, I decided to restore the Airport Express (b/g) to the factory default and see if that helped... I did this through the airport utility. The airport reset fine and I then went through the set-up wizard. However, when it then tried to restart as part of the setup process, it said that there was an error and that it could not restart. It said to restart the airport utility and try again. This I did but it cannot see the airport. If I rescan, it says the same thing (unable to find any apple wireless devices). What should I do?
    All thoughts and suggestions gratefully received!

  • How to extend wifi range using Airport Extreme and Airport Express connected via ethernet cable

    Hello,
    I'm having an Airport Extreme fifth generation in my living room. I bought yesterday an Airport Express to extend the range of my WIFI in the house and I put in in my bed room. The two devices are connected together via an ethernet cable, from airport extreme (lan 1 port) to airport express to (wan port). Now from the airport utility what configuration I have to set to the airport express in order to extend my wifi range? Inside the wireless tab what i have to select in the network mode?
    1. Create a wireless network (use same same wireless network name and pass work as the airport extreme)
    2. Join a wireless network
    3 Extend a wireless network ?
    Thank you

    You are way overthinking this. The utility will literally configure everything for you automatically. All that you need to do is name the device and click Next during the setup.
    You can use your Mac using Mountain Lion or an iPhone or iPad.
    Post back if you need the steps.

  • I did a hard reset on the airport express, but it did not work

    I successfully reset the airport express once, got it set up, plugged in the new speakers, they worked for about 1 minute, then the blinking yellow error code started on the airport express.  Since then I have tried to do a hard reset numerous times and stil get the blinking yellow light.  Please help!

  • AirPort Express+Stereo+iTunes+XP not working since download

    I added an AirPort Express Base Station to boost my wireless LAN coverage and hook up my Stereo to iTunes. It all worked fine when turned on. Used it for about a month. I downloaded the latest iTunes lately and now I don't see the option to direct the output to my stereo system. I am using iTunes on a PC but my LAN includes a wireless connect to an old power book(OSX), a laptop PC(XP), a wired Linux box(SUSE) and a couples of wired Sun Micros. Once in a while the wife tunes in on the wireless LAN with her Apple laptop. How do I get the stereo to connection to show up on iTunes again?
    Thanks!
    -Bob

    Hi Chris
    Thanks for your response. However, the firewall is not blocking iTunes from accessing the internet. The exception is already added as per the instructions in the link and iTunes can 'see' both the Airport Express and Apple TV. It just can't stream music to either with the firewall enabled.
    Note: The inbound rule for iTunes is there and allows access on all ports and all IP addresses.

  • AirPort Express (802.11g) suddenly not working

    Hi;
    I've been using my AirPort Express unit for years now. For the last 6 months I've been using it to supply music to a set of speakers in my living room with no problem.
    Suddenly today, I notice that for some reason, AirTunes can't see the Unit, nor can AirPort Admin Utility nor AirPort Setup Assistant.
    The Unit has a solid green light on it, indicating it thinks it's working, but I can't seem to find it.
    Any clues?
    Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE: I reset the unit, and was able to configure it using AirPort Setup Assistant, but although the light is still solid green, iTunes and AirPort Admin still can't see it.

  • Airport express, green light but not working.

    while streaming music to airport express, it suddenly stops. Green light on AE, but connection with wireless net is gone. iPad airport express app tells that the AE was in a network and isn't anymore. Only way to get it back working is power off/on. Sounds familiar? Any tips what can be the issue?

    Is the AirPort Express the only wireless router in your current network configuration or is it configured to "join" another wireless network for streaming. If there is another wireless router, where is the Express placed in relation to it ... same room, different room, different floor?
    When streaming from your iPad, is it in the same room, different room, or different floor than the Express?

  • Airport Express dmz (Default address) not working same with port forwarding

    My configuration is as follows: MacBook Pro w/10.5.4 Server and standard, Comcast HighSpeed cable, Airport Express.
    With the laptop connected directly, all services work fine. Specifically Web serving, Quicktime streaming server.
    With Airport connected, all browsing works. Forwarding to web server port 80 works.
    Forwarding to QTSS doesn't work.
    Setting the default address (DMZ) doesn't solve problem.
    Ideas?

    I used the Expess presets. Ports 554 and 7070. I even tried adding UDP ports from the setup manual.
    My real issue is that the DMZ should direct all traffic to the server and it doesn't seem to be working.

  • Airport Express 802.11n does not support 5 ghz range

    I have a Airport Extreme and a Airport Express both are 802.11n. I have the Airport Extreme setup to 802.11n (5ghz only). The Airport Express 802.11n will not work in the 5ghz range no matter what I do.
    If I change the Extreme to 802.11n (2.4 ghz only), and set the Express to 802.11n 2.4ghz, it works fine.
    Both systems have been upgraded to the 5.3.1 firmware.
    Apple claims the Express works in the 5ghz range. The unit I have does not..so what is the deal?
    Steve

    I finally got this to work at 5ghz.
    BUT,
    The Airport Utility that supports the Express is less then great. There is no manual option to set the Express at 5ghz as a client. I assume that Apple will fix this soon.
    I also had the problem described in several places in this Discussion group, that the Express becomes un-available after changing the config. I finally just restored it to the default, unplugged it and let it sit overnight. Then I reprogrammed it, saved it, verified it works, then let it sit all day with out unplugging it. I then unplugged it and moved it to the location I wanted it at so I could stream music, and it worked fine at 802.11n/5ghz.

  • Airport Express/AirTunes Not Working with New Verizon FIOS Connection

    I was just set up with the new Verizon FIOS high speed internet, and now my Airport Express/AirTunes will not connect to my remote speakers like it did previously. The option for them is still there on iTunes, however when I select them, I get the horizontal barber pole for a minute, then the speaker selction goes back to computer.
    In more detail:
    Previously I had a Comcast internet connection which went through a Linksys wireless router. My Mini picked up the internet with this connection. Then I had an Airport Express hooked up to some remote speakers. They worked fine. Now, I have the Verizon wireless router hooked in directly to my Mini through the ethernet cable. I see the wireless network created by the Verizon router. I still see the wireless network created by the Linksys router. However, my iTunes can not connect to my AE/AirTunes speakers.
    Note, I did reset the AE and then using Airport Setup Assistant, tried to locate it again, but it came up with nothing (other than my neighbor's new Verizon router).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Still no luck. The green light is on for the AE.
    Thanks in advance for the help.
