Airport Express and Windows 98

I have read in other posts that it is possible to connect windows 98 to airport express. Can anyone provide step by step directions on how to do this?
Thanks

Hopefully you will find the answers on iFelix's web site.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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:
    (This computer) =============== Unidentified Network =======X========Internet
    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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either.

    I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either. I have an iphone 4 that will not connect to 5ghz.
    thank you!

    Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
    This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
    It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Express
    Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
    Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
    Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
    Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
    Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name.  2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name.

  • Airport Express and BT Homehub - how can I get it to work?

    Hello, can someone help??
    I have an Airport Express and a MacBook. My only use for my Airport Express is purely to play ITunes music through my stereo via my MacBook wirelessly. Therefore I only require my Airport Express to join my current network.
    I recently changed my phone and broadband network provider from Talk Talk back to BT. My Airport Express worked fine when I was with Talk Talk, I was using a Belkin wireless router for my network connection which worked without any problems. When I got my Airport Express, it was easy to set up - it joined my Talk Talk network without a hitch.
    When my connection transferred to BT last week, I tried to connect up my Airport Express to my new BT Homehub. However when I went into Airport Utility my AX wasn't there. So, I read the guide on the Apple Support site and reset it to factory settings. This then seemed to make it 'appear' in Airport Utility, so I went through the process of setting it up as I did when I first bought it. When I got through to the final stage when it is 'Updated successfully and is now re-starting', the AX icon seems to disappear from the left hand side of the box and eventually I get an error message stating 'Airport Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after reinstating: The settings for this apple device have been successfully updated but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the apple wireless device. You may need to select your network from the airport menu and try again' (Incidentally, this last piece of advice doesn't work)... So, I am not sure what to do. I have tried changing the format of the WEP code I need to enter by adding " in front of the code as well as $ as is the suggestion on the Apple Support site...
    Is my AX faulty? Is my BT Homehub (The 'next generation of router' as BT call it) preventing my AX from joining my network?? If anyone can help I would appreciate it, I am not very clued up on these things.... :o)
    Thanks

    I have now managed to get AX working on my BT home hub. I took my second non-working unit back to Apple in Solihull and got them to test it in store. They agreed it wasn't working. They then tested another unit in store and that did work so I brought that home. It would be worth you doing the same as I got a 10% discount off my next purchase of anything at Apple for my troubles.
    I set my homehub security to None (from WEP - in homehub manager/advanced/wireless/security), plugged in my AX to homehub using an ethernet cable, then ran Airport utility and after a couple of runs it finally picked it up. I was able to set the configurations I wanted and 24 hours later it is still working. I set my homehub security settings back to WEP as soon as the AX was configured.
    I also installed airport utility on my son's windows laptop and that is now able to print wirelessly as well. So, finally a result.
    I would suggest you take your unit back to where you bought it from and get them to test it. If they offer you another one ask for a Mac genius
    to test it in store for you first. Also ask them to run through the installation procedure with you. Don't forget to ask for something for your troubles:)
    Hope that helps,

  • My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house.  Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?

    My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house.  Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?  Network is administered through an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.  Ideally, would like for the second Airport Extreme hard drive to appear on the list of devices in the Finder window.

    Ok.. gottcha
    The problem is network wise.. Yosemite is about equal to tin cans and string.. pathetic.
    Here is my usual set of instructions to get anything working on Yosemite.
    The best way to fix problems is a full factory reset of all the AE in the network.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg AEgen5 and AEwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use AE24ghz and AE5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for AE which is router.. it is a problem for AE which is bridged.. you will need to set static IP in the main router by dhcp reservations or use static IP in the AE which is tricky.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
    5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    6. Now mount the disk of the second AE in finder... manually.
    Use Go, Connect to Server and type in the AE ip address.
    SMB://10.0.1.2
    Where you will replace that address with the actual address. The network resource should be discovered and then it will request the password.. type that in and make sure you tick to save it in your keychain.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    Do as much as you want of the above... not all of it is necessary.. only if you want it reliable.. or as reliable as Yosemite in its current incarnation can manage.
    The most important thing is point 6.. mount the disk using direct IP address and not names.. dns in Yosemite is fatally flawed.

  • Airport Express and WRT54G v8

    Airport express firmware: v6.3
    WRT54G: v8
    I'm unable to get my Airport Express to join my existing wireless network in Client mode. I've been able to get it to join other wireless networks using WPA, but with my new WRT54G v8 I haven't succeeded;
    - Has anyone got an Airport Express to join a WRT54G v8 wireless network?
    - Does the Airport Express support WPA2 when joining a non-Apple 802.11g network? It just shows WPA on the drop-down box for me.
    - Is the channel selection important?
    - For WPA, I've previously had to enter a $ before my ASCII-format password. Is that true in general for WPA and WPA2?
    Having owned this Airport Express for 4 yrs, I have to say I'm dismayed by the level of frustration I've had with it, but I'm locked into it because I used Itunes.

    I have the exact same problem. I purchased the airport express yesterday, and trying to hook it up in client mode, wirelessly to the wrt54g to be a print server. I set it up with the ethernet patch cord attached to the airport express and the wrt54g. It gets set up great and I can print and attach my clients (2 windows and 1 mac) wirelessly to the wrt54g network. If I leave the ethernet connected within 5 minutes my wireless network slows to a crawl and then stops traffic. If I disconnect the ethernet cable instantly the network returns to normal speed. But the airport express is no longer reachable. Granted it doesn't have the same IP and has to re-establish connection. However, it never re-establishes and flashes amber. Seems like it has to be security related as it seems to connect OK when the ethernet cord is attached.
    I assume that to set the airport express up in client mode that the first configuration has to be made with the ethernet cord attached. Then when it resets itself to re-read the new configuration that I am supposed to unhook the ethernet cord. As it should be talking to the wrt54g through the wireless connection rather then the hard ethernet connection.
    The setup steps I go through are:
    - push the hard reset to get to factory settings
    - connect ethernet patch cord from airport express to wrt54g
    - bring up airport utility on macbook pro
    - airport is found and press continue
    - create a password - continue
    - select I have a network - continue
    - select join the network wirelessly - continue
    - select my network from wrt54g
    - select security
    --I have tried the 40bit with the wrt54g 64bit WEP
    --I have tried 128bit WEP on both
    ---neither works...if I try something else I need details on how to set it up
    - continue and wait for when it restarts....
    - If I leave the ethernet cord in, and switch back to the wrt54g wireless network, the airport express shows up in the airport utility very quickly. and seems to work for a while before taking my wireless network down.
    - If I remove the ethernet cord and switch the macbook over to the wrt54g wireless network, the airport express never shows up in the airport utility and the airport express flashes amber. From the manual, this says there is connectivity issues. And through process of elimination, looks like the airport express can't get passed the security with the wrt54g.
    So, I too, look for assistance.
    PS. I have had the wrt54g for a couple of years and have not upgraded firmware so if that is necessary then I can do that.
    PSS. At the very first airport express setup there was a new firmware loaded. Does this have to be re-applied if the airport express is hard reset (ie, paper clip in the reset hole for 10 seconds)?
