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.
Windows 8 >>>wireless>>>Airport Express>>>router
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?

  • ITunes on Windows Vista PC can't connect to AirPort Express. PC returns error message -15000

    I'm running PC with Vista and newest update iTunes.
    I have set up a network through my AirPort Express, and i am streaming music wirelessly from my PC to AirPort. This used to work, but now i get an error message saying that an error occured while connecting to the AirPort, with the error code -15000. What's wrong? this used to work earlier?
    This is particularly annoying since it used to work, until the latest (or the one before that) iTunes update.
    Need help!

    This is always a Windows firewall problem. Try opening UDP port 6002 in your firewall software.

  • I just upgraded to ITunes version  10.6.0.40 and now I am having trouble connecting to my Airport Express.  I get error message 15000.  I am connecting with an ethernet cable so it is not a wireless problem.  Any ideas?

    I just upgraded to iTunes version 10.6.0.40 and now I am having problems connecting to my Airport Express and I get an error message 15000.  Does anyone know what that means?  I am using an ethernet cable so it is not a wireless problem.  Trying to find out if this is realated to the iTunes upgrade.  Any ideas out there?

    Sure...

  • Airport Express and Windows Vista

    I cannot get the Airport Express software to recognize the Airport Express in Windows Vista. I installed the software and the setup assistant doesn't even show up. Any recommendations?

    Ah Ha!
    I have been waiting patiently for the last few weeks for posts to come up on this subject.
    I have had the same problems. My new samsung sets up a wireless contection with the aiport wonderfully but as airport admin assistant does not install with the 4.2 version I cannot configure hence set a password or any security. It cannot be done through utility as it does not recognise the airport as being there.
    A long sequence of phone calls with a lady from apple confirmed they are aware of the problem. Apparently the 5.1 version does install in vista (although its existance maybe a myth).
    The funny thing is that you cannot tell what version is in the box. The staff in the apple stores do not know either. So I have ended up buying three airports opening the packaging, finding the wrong software and then getting a refund. Just like charlie lookig for the golden ticket.
    They are of course selling loads of these to PC users and most of these will now be using vista if they have new PC's. So lots should be being returned. A serious problem for their cross platform marketing plan.
    Apple! a sticker saying not compatible with vista would have saved me alot of hassel.

  • 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.

  • Using my Actiontec modem's wifi, it doesn't find my new airport express.  When I use the new airport express network I created error message says ip address is wrong.  Help setting this new airport express up

    Using my Actiontec modem's wifi, it doesn't find my new airport express.  Using the new airport express network I just set up it says the ip address is invalid.  What can I do to overcome this blinking amber light and error messages?

    You need to begin by configuring the AEX to Join an existing network (Bridge Mode.) You can then connect to it using Wi-Fi, but the AEX will not extend your existing network.
    If you can connect the AEX to your existing router using Ethernet, then you could use it to Create a new network. Otherwise, if you want to extend your existing network you will need to get a Wireless Access Point - WAP - from a non-Apple product like D-Link.

  • Trouble setting up Airport Express and Windows

    I am trying to help a friend set up Airport Express to work with her Windows computer. The goal is to use the Airport Express so she can stream iTunes to her stereo system. There is an existing Linksys wireless network. First I tried to connect add the Airport Express to her existing wireless network. I was able to see the base station and I chose to add it to her existing network. I was able to go through all the steps updating the Airport Express. After the base station restarted, the configuration tool couldn't see the base station anymore. In iTunes on her Windows computer, I could see the base station but when I clicked to select the speakers, it wouldn't select.
    I reset the Airport Express to factory settings and tried again with the same result.
    I reset again and tried using the Airport Express to replace her wireless network and to also stream iTunes. In the configuration app I chose to create a new wireless network. I was able to set up the Airport Express as a wireless network and could connect her Windows laptop to the Internet through the Airport Express. But I had the same problem in iTunes: I could see the speakers in the drop down list, but I couldn't select them.
    I've returned everything to how it was (Linksys wireless network).
    Can anyone let me know how to make this work?
    Thanks

    As I mentioned in my post, I followed the directions exactly. I used the same set of directions in the previous post. At the last step of the set up, the Airport Express restarts. After restarting, I got an error saying the utility could not find the base station. I reset the Airport Express to factory settings and went through the steps again and had the exact same result.
    I am using an Airport Express at home with a Linksys router and I had no problem setting it up to join my network. The only difference is that I use a Mac at home. The one I am trying to set up for my friend is with a Windows XP machine.
    Has anyone ever had this problem?

  • Trouble with Airport Express and Windows 7

    I have my airport express connected to my computer via ethernet cable and I have the airport connected to my network.
    But in the network connection settings it says that I'm connected but there's no internet access. The map in Network and sharing center looks like this:

    Can you please help me find a solution?
    Thanks!

    The last bit.. how do you have the Express connected to the network??
    What IP does the Express have and what IP does it hand to the computer??
    I presume you can access the express from airport utility in windows.. if not please do load it.

  • Airport Express and iTunes give error: 'An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device'

    Hi guys & girls,
    Yesterday I bought an Airport Express 802.11n (1st generation); solely for the purpose of listening to my music without connecting any cables to my speakers.
    I've done the set-up (i.e. linked the AE to my existing network without any Ethernet) and connected the AE to my speakers, and the light turns green. However, when I try to make a connection in iTunes to the base station, I get the following error: 'An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Base Station 5bf269”.'
    I'm quite a noob with computers and the technical aspects, however, I normally get around by googling and trying out some things. I've tried the following things already:
    - Downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to change the IPv6 to Host (Configuration is set on automatic)
    - Firmware update for the Airport Express to 7.6.1
    My iTunes version is 10.6.3, am using MacBook Pro Mac OS X 10.7.4. I really have no clue what could be wrong and how to fix this. I'm only sitting 2 meters away from the AE so it cannot be about the range. Can someone help me please?
    Thanks!!

    No more need for an answer... the problem has been solved!

  • Airport Express and Windows

    I'm running Airport Utility 5.6.1 on two computers.  One with Windows 8 and One with Windows 7.  I am trying to connect to my wireless network.  However the Airport Express cannot see it.  It can see the neighbors networks.  But not mine.  Any ideas?
    I had everything working before, but I just upgraded my router.  I thought I would just change the network connection to the new network name.  It can also see the guest network that comes gratis with my router Lynksys E1200 v2. 
    But I need to access the primary network to stream my iTunes to my stereo.
    Thanks.

    Since you replaced your wireless router its previous wireless network is now gone, leaving the Express to forever search for it.
    You must reconfigure the Express, and it is easiest to do that starting with a "hard reset": press and hold the Express's reset button and keep it depressed long enough, about five to ten seconds, for its LED to flash amber rapidly.
    A moment or two later it will flash amber, slowly. In Windows, select the open wireless network it creates. It will appear as "Apple Network nnnnnn". You may need to temporarily disable your Windows firewall / anti-virus / security software.
    Then, launch AirPort Utility and configure it to "join" your Linksys's wireless network.
    After you complete the Express's reconfiguration and it restarts, the open wireless network created for the purpose of configuring it will cease to exist, so just quit AirPort Utility. Re-connect to your Linksys network and the Express's speakers will appear available in iTunes.
    Then, re-enable whatever Windows wireless security / anti-virus software you had been using.

  • 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.

  • Help! Epson Photo R200 with AP Express and Windows XP

    Hello all. I need help with configuring my Epson R200 with my airport express and windows XP. This seemed to work absolutely seamlessly when I had a mac hooked up to it, but now that my company put me on a God-forsaken Dell Latitude it absolutely refuses to work. Anyone else out there have any clever ideas? I'm about ready to hurl it out the window. If no ideas, can anyone recommend an inexpensive printer with better compatibility? (this one is on the hit list with "some problems")
    Many thanks - Wendy

    I did, thanks for the help - but to no avail. It recognizes the printer, both in Bonjour and in the AE setup utility, and installs fine using Bonjour. However, when I try to print it searches for a long time, then dies on the vine and shows an error message. I have a good signal in my office, so I can't think of what might be triggering it.

  • Help - Receive message "an error occurred printing this document" when using airport express and Ipad

    Hi, I am trying to set up an airport express hub to work with a Star tsp100 receipt printer and IPad 2. The IPad is being used to accept credit card payments and I was hoping to print receipts out wirelessly using the airport express and receipt printer. I checked to make sure the airport express has the latest firmware and it does. The IPad software is also updated to the latest 7.1.  I then connected the Airport express and IPad and the network setup with no problems. I connected the receipt printer to the airport express using the USB slot available. While the printer comes up as available, when I attempt to print something, I get the error message "An error occurred printing this document" and I can cancel or Try again. No matter how many times I try, I continue to get this message and I lost as to the cause. When I disconnect and reconnect, another instance of the printer appears, but receive the same cryptic error message when I try to print. Totally lost, please help

    Hi kelston3,
    In order to print from an iPad you will need to use a printer that is compatible with AirPrint, which is described in the following article -
    About AirPrint
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    AirPrint printers must be wireless on your network - not connected via USB to the base station. There is a list of printers that are known to be compatible with AirPrint in the article.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
