  • Airport Express and Internet Connection Sharing through XP

    Hi all,
    Quick question that I'm stumbling over a little.
    I'm currently staying at a relative's house using their XP desktop, so I can't change the settings too much without seeming like a discourteous guest! Their PC is set up with a USB broadband modem, and no router. What I would like to do is share that internet connection with a couple of Macbooks wirelessly.
    Internet -> USB modem -> XP desktop -> LAN cable -> Airport Express -> Wireless Macbooks
    I have added an Airport Express and connected it straight into the PC's LAN port. The AE is in bridge mode, so it does not distribute IP addresses. Instead, the PC is distributing IP addresses in the range 192.168.0.xxx. This is working without a problem, as no fewer than four laptops and an iPhone have been designated unique IPs without problem.
    Unfortunately, I don't know where to go from there, as nothing but the XP desktop will connect to the internet. Also, curiously, the XP machine can ping everything on the network, but the devices connecting to the AE wirelessly can only ping as far as the AE, and can't 'see' the XP desktop.
    I feel like I'm not far from a solution, and any suggestions would be hugely appreciated!

    Never mind! Figured it out myself. Turns out my relatives had McAffee running on their XP desktop. Disabled it, and everything works wonderfully.

  • Airport Express and Bootcamp Windows 7

    I have a Macbook, purchased Dec 09
    Airport Express Mar. 2011
    June, 2011, installed Bootcamp, Windows 7. Cannot access the internet from Windows. I note that the Airpot Ex I have is intended for XP and Vista--W7 was not out yet. Do I need a new Airport Express? Or?

    This is not an issue with the Airport Express, your Windows OS is likely missing the drivers it needs.
    You need to download and install WindowSupport software and drivers. Reboot your computer to Mac OS X and open Boot Camp Assistant. Click Continue on the introduction and ONLY select "Download the Windows support software for this Mac". Click Continue again, and next select the method you would like to save the software. After the download has completed, reboot computer to Windows OS. Open the WindowsSupport folder you downloaded to a disc or drive, and open Installation. Follow through the on-screen instructions, and after the computer restarts you should have internet access.

  • Can I stream AirTunes to my Airport Express and my windows media center?

    Hello all, I am just about to install a windows media center in my lounge room and I would like to know how I can stream from my office mac to not only my airport express in the dining room, but my new windows box in the lounge.
    I have iTunes installed and a wireless card on the PC and speakers attached, so just wondering how I can stream from the iMac in the office to both devices? Any advice and tips? I love streaming from my iMac to the dining room, just want to be able to get the media center in on the action now
    Surely this is possible?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    To the best of my knowledge, there isn't an easy way to stream iTunes from a Mac to a PC in the manner you desire, with the PC essentially emulating an Airport Express.
    What you want to do is supported by the third party utility Airfoil (see http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/ ) if the sending and receiving computers are both Macs, but I don't think the Windows version of this utility supports this feature.
    I suppose you could use third party software to set up your Mac so that it streams music over your network, in a manner that your PC and (for example) Windows media player could receive - but that is a solution beyond the scope of this discussion forum.

  • Airport Express and Internet sharing.

    I have been told that I can share the internet connection, wireless, of a Mac that is connected to the internet via the ethernet port by using Airport Express. I am at a loss on how to create this environment. Can anyone help? I am trying to create a wireless network to use my itouch through internet sharing.

    Please see this Apple Tech Help page.

    AirPort Express wireless connection, when I surf the news sites so I linked to **** pages. And must close the window. If I use my iPhone with Internet sharing the same computer, then I have no problem.
    I believe that it is in AirPort Express, and would have to clean it. How do you do that?

    You need to use the Express in router mode.. I think you are trying to use it in bridge mode.. but you need to give us a lot more details.. screenshots might help more than anything.

  • I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. any soln ?

    I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
    Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
    Thank you a lot in advance.

    I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes:  Latest software versions of everything.  No iPad, iPhone or Touch.  Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this.  The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX.  I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today.  Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped:  Turned off IPV6.  Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX).  Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'.  Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it).  Here's my discoveries:  Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.)  iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts.  So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing).  Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether.  No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED.  That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan.  Works for me, written using Chrome.  The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch.  This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet.  Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

  • Airport express and Windows 8 dns error message

    I have just purchased a HP windows 8 machine.  It works fine on my old Airport (5 years) wireless, but with the Airport express it does not.  I can connect with CAT5 cable direct.  When I bring up the available connections I see the airport express and pick it, type in the password and it says connected.  Next I click on IE and I get the error message "This page can't be displayed"  I run the fix connection problems and it says "Your DNS server might be unavailable".  Check list of items.
    1.  Windows 8 wireless machine works fine on old Airport
    2.  Windows 8 direct connect works fine on Airport Express amd old Airport
    3.  Windows 7 wireless machine works fine on both old Airport and Airport Express
    I am using the default settings on the Airport express except password is being used.

    As suggestions?

    What are the model numbers of both your Extreme and Express base stations? Do you have them configured for a 802.11n (extended) or 802.11g (WDS) Wi-Fi network?

  • I have the airport express and trying to connect to the internet on my Vizio and can't find a code to put in to connect..

    I have the airport express and trying to set up internet service on my TV (Vizio) but having no luck.... I need a code to enter in order to connect! Can you help?

    Hi - you might be getting full bars but a slow connection - games can be very sensitive to this - have you tried connecting via ethernet to see if it is better? - however if your wireless speed is good too then it could be a ps3 issue and a call to their support might help - otherwise there could be interference issues, radio channel conflicts, etc. - without knowing the specific aspects of your entire network environment it is hard to make any more suggestions.

  • Is is possible to use a netgear wireless router to share a cable internet connection between an airport express and a Sony BD player?

    Hi,
    I have a couple of netgear wireless routers (WGR614, WPN824 v3) as well as a Belkin wireless router (F5D8233-4v3) lying around, and was wondering if it is possible to use any of these to share the internet feed from a cable modem to both an airport express and a Sony Blu-Ray Player?  I connected the WPN824 router between the cable modem and the airport express but the airport express will only give an orange light then as if it does not have internet access.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Many thanks.

    What you are basically attempting to do is extend the Belkin router with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) via a wireless connection between them. This method is known as a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Unfortunately, WDS is not a standard and router manufacturers implemented, in most part, to only work with their products ... so it will be very unlikely that you can create a WDS between your Belkin and the AX. There have been a few Belkin model that have been updated by third-party firmware that support WDS, but the models you listed are not any of them.

  • @ Airport Express and BEWAN DSL MODEM : no internet ..why ?

    Hello,
    I connect a BEWAN ADSL Modem to my Airport Express and create a Airport network to have internet access for my Ibook.
    I have choose "Ethernet" for Internet access with DHCP parameter.
    Here's what i see : the Bewan ADSL modem give to the airport a public IP for the ip address (that comes from my Internet Provider), a netmask and a router ip that is 192.168.1.1.
    On my Ibook, i could connect to the airport (printing is ok) but I couldn't have internet access : blank page under Safari...
    My Airport Express has the last Firmware....
    I think is a trouble between the BEwan ADSL modem and the Airport because I have Internet access when i directly connect the Bewan Modem to the Ibook.. a routing trouble ?
    Do i have to manually enter IP parameter of my Airport ?
    Have you the same configuration ?
    Thanks for helping me fast.

    ouba john,
    I'd recomend trying a reset and reconfigure. Your setup sounds pretty simple. Hold in the reset button on your AE until the light blinks, let it restart, and choose your unmodified Airport express from the drop down menu. Run Airport Setup assistant from the Utilitiies menu and try to let that program do all the tweaking for you. Once it's up and running, you can go into the wireless settings with Airport admin and reconfigure security if you wish.
    This is "just give this a try" advice. It seems I've heard odd things about ADSL modems, so good luck

  • Is Printer HP Laserjet 1018 compatible with Airport Express and windows

    I am using HP Laserjet 1018 which is connected directly to the PC.
    As it is a USB printer but not a wifi one, can I connect it to Airport Express and will it be recognised ?
    Thank you for your answers.

  • Airport Express and Windows 2000

    Curious why the Airport Express documentation says that it will work with (a machine running) Windows 2000, but the software stops installing when it detects Windows 2000.
    Also, given this, wondering if there is a workaround.
    Thanks.

    The AirPort Express Assistant is not compatible with Windows 2000.
    To setup AirPort Express from a Windows 2000 computer, you must use AirPort Admin Utility for Windows version 4.0 or later.

  • Airport Express and Apple TV not seen by new computer

    I have two airport expresses (both A1084 wireless g) and an Apple TV (a couple years old).  I have the latest version of iTunes and the latest version of Airport Utility.  My new computer is a PC running Windows 8.  Everything worked fine until last week when my old computer failed (it was a PC running Vista).  I got the new machine up and running and for a little while the computer could see the airport expresses but never did see the apple tv.  Then it stopped and that was that.  I shut everything down, restarted everything, uninstalled and reinstalled Airport Utility, uninstalled Airport Utility again and reinstalled an older version, that didn't work, upgraded to the new version of Aiport Utility and that still didn't work. My wireless network is fine, my iPad can connect, the new computer can access the internet fine.  My old windows xp computer that is on its last legs can see the two airport expresses and the apple tv.  But this new computer which is the one that is supposed to take care of all this for me can't.  Any suggestions because I'm at my wits end.

    i'm assuming that the Airport Utility app for your ipad sees them?  I wonder if Win8 has a firewall active that is blocking the ports.
