Airport express connects to internet, but not print server

hello all. i hope someone can help me with this. 2 days ago, my wife was able to print using her ibook/airport expess setup. today, the network diagnostics has this message: "network diagnostics was able to connect to the internet but not to the server EPSON Stylus CX3800.pdldatastream.tcp.local. this could be caused by problems with the server, or an internet problem between this computer and the server." she says this happened when she turned it on. what could be causing this? any and all help welcome. mcrat

You can reset the AirPort Express (AX) following the directions in Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ.
Then you can use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the AX.

Airport Express connects to MBPro but not to my Lenovo or Blackberry

I just got the new Apple Express and here's my setup:
Optimum online cable modem --> Airport Express [Note that I don't have a regular router or Apple Extreme]
Airport Express software installed on my Macbook Pro 2010 (Snowleopard) to set up the wireless network. After struggling for a few hours, I managed to get my MacBook Pro to connect to the wireless (with and without password). However, I am unable to connect my work laptop (Lenovo T410...my wife has the same and it won't connect either), nor my Blackberry Bold.
The problem is that the Lenovos and our Blackberrys detect the wireless connection, but fail to connect (or acquire a network address). I am constantly getting "limited or no connectivity" message.
At first, I thought it was because of my WEP / WAP2 security, but I disabled my security and am still facing the problem.
I know this is a common problem, have searched forums extensively but have not yet found a solution. Any help will be much much appreciated.
Cheers

I've been having similar issues with a Blackberry 9650 (5.x) but I'm using the Apple AirPort Extreme with an AirPort Express as an extender, it seems I've tried everything to get it working (change to WEP, WPA/WPA2, Mixed Mode, 5.0 GHz, etc.), but nothing seems to work.
Can you see the Lenovo or Blackberry in the DHCP logs of the AirPort?

Airport Express connected to WiFi but not visible on iPad

I have set up the airport express and it is connected wirelessly to my new BT HomeHub (green light on Airport Express). However, I cannot see it in the choices (I have Apple TV also) so I cannot play my music through my stereo via Airport Express which is how I used to do it with the Sky router. Am I missing something obvious here?

OK - Just started from scrath again - and it all seems to be working

IMac Connects to Internet, but not File Server

Got one iMac (Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.5.8) that has a network issue. It can always connect to the internet, but sometimes it stops seeing a file server on the network (Tiger server). The server connection will drop out on this computer, but not on any of the other computers on the network. Things I've tried that don't work:
- restarting computer
- re-seating ethernet cable
- trying new ethernet cable
- zapping PRAM on computer
The connection to the server just comes and goes randomly, but only on this computer. Suggestions? Thanks!

Same here with an iMac 27" connecting to a windows server.

Hi i use the hp lap in connecting for internet but not open the bro

hi
i have some problam in my laptop in connecting for internet but not open for broswer and not update for software tell the solution

Hi @jerry3 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and not getting to the Internet. First try just to reset the router. Unplug from the power wait a few moments and plug back in.
Can get to safe mode with command prompt? F11 upon startup choose safe mode with Networking.
Can you get to the Internet in safe mode?
Please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Airport Express works with Skype but not with internet

Hi,
I recently bought some new Airport Express' for my company. However, when plugging it in we seemingly get full access, but only Skype seems to work. If I do a search on the internet it can sometimes look like it find the address after a long while, but don't manage to open the page. E.g. writing www.google.com in the search field doesn't give access to that page.
I brought them home to check if the Airports worked there, and they did. No problem. But at the office the Airports don't. If I connect the same plug which is connected to the Airport into the MAC / PC, then I have full connection to the internet.
What to do?

After Grant pointed out the DNS thing, I started to check that part, and I noticed something funny. I called Apple Support regarding the problem, and now it's solved
Here is my experience:
1. My Airports worked fine when home, but not at work.
2. Checking the LAN DNS addresses I received three addresses. 2 in the 158.xx... range and one in the 129.xxx... range.
3. The Airport Extreme and Airport Express does only support two DNS addresses, and since the two 158.xx... DNS addresses came first in that range the 129.xxx... was left out.
4. I manually changed one of the 158.xx... addresses to the 129.xxx... address I got on my MAC / PC when I connected directly to the wall and did a "ipconfig /all" on the PC. The three same addresses is listed under network - airport on the MAC.
5. Now suddenly it all worked. This due to that the two 158.xx... addresses seamed to be internal addresses, and the 129.xxx... address was from outside delivered from our operator.
Summarized:
When you receive 3 DNS addresses you MAC and PC can handle it fine, but your Airport not. Find all your DNS addresses and write them down. Enter Airport Admin Utility and do a manual setup. Change one of the two equal address to the third address. Most probably listed as the last DNS address when you are connected directly and type e.g. "ipconfig /all" on your PC or you enter the network settings.

Bouw

When I hook up my airport express I loose internet, but it shows I'm connected and my printer is connected. It does not work though!!!

I set up my airport express and it shows it is properly set up, green light and all... However, it shuts off my internet and does not print through the printer it shoes hooked up. Bummer!!! Help???
Kim

I had similar issues setting up my airport express this afternoon. Finally got it to work by unplugging my cable modem and the airport express at the same time. Then plugged in cable modem, once it was running, plugged in the airport express, and it finally started working.
Per Apple's poor documentation, I had already restarted them individually many times, but doing them together finally got mine working. I was getting very frustrated though.
Hope it works for you too.

AirPort Extreme (n) connecting Internet, but not Printer or AirTunes

I have had a new AirPort Extreme (n) network for about 6 months, installed with the newer utility etc. Connected was ADSL Internet and a printer. Also a previous-gen AirPort Express/HiFi playing AirTunes, all on the single network, "hosted" by the Extreme. All working well.
Suddenly, the computer won't recognize the printer connected to the Extreme, yet the ADSL wireless internet still works! The Network also doesn't recognize the Express connecting AirTunes either!
Going into the utility, a scan for local AirPort Base Stations reveals NONE, not even the Extreme which is clearly transmitting my ADSL! How can this be???
The computer recognises the printer normally when connected via USB.

Are you sure that you are connected to your wireless network or are you perhaps connected to a neighbor's wireless network?

Airport express connects to internet, will play via airplay, but not through itunes.

Hello all-
I just updated to the latest iTunes 12.1.1.4 64 bit and now itunes can no longer send music to my airport express. It is directly connected via an ethernet cable. The wifi portion of the airport express works, I can find it in the airport utility, I can send music via airplay from my iphone...just cannot connect to the device in itunes to play music. I also tried airfoil and it cannot find it either. Thanks for the help

Thank you for responding, Duane, I'll give it a try. I suspect the cordless phone is the culprit. I do wonder though, if it is why my Safari and Mail aren't kicking in even if the Wireless Network is working fine.
If I may repeat that part of the issue: often, when downstairs, I actually can connect to the wireless network, and I see in the network connection window the words "Connected via PPoe", yet Safari will not connect to the internet, claiming "could not find PPoe"; and Mail will not connect to the online server, instead reading "working offline" no matter what I do. At such times it's almost as if Safari and Mail are in a different non-functioning universe than my functioning wireless network. Why won't they go along for the ride?

Airport Express for music streaming, but not Internet?

I currently connect my PowerMac G5 to the Internet via a direct connection. How do I setup the A/E to stream music from my PowerMac G5 (Airport equipped), without disrupting the existing Ethernet connection?

If you want your G5 to be on the Internet AND stream music at the same time, the AirPort Express (AX) must be connected to your Internet source. The G5 can not use the Ethernet connection for Internet and the AirPort connection for streaming music at the same time.
If you have a wired router but do not have a wireless router, you could connect both the G5 and AX to the wired router.
If you do not have a router of any kind (other than the AX), you could connect AX to the ISP connection and then have the G5 wirelessly connect to the AX.
OR you could connect a wireless router to the ISP connection and then have the G5 and AX wirelessly connect to the router. Alternatively the G5 could be connected to the wireless router via Ethernet.

Airport will connect to network but not internet

Hi,
My MacBook air started out working beautifully on my wireless network-high download speeds, solid connection, etc... After about six hours of operation however, it has stopped being able to find the internet consistently, no matter what wireless network I try. I use a NetGear wireless hub in my room, and my laptop is able to consistently find and connect to the network (the hub is only about 3 feet away) but it cannot connect to the internet. Under network settings I get the message "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet" or "Airport cannot connect to the internet." I know that the internet is working, because the network works fine for my MB Pro, iPhone, TiVo, and xBox 360. In fact, the MBA is occassionally able to find the internet and get an IP address. Sometimes this IP address allows me to load web pages extremely slow and sometimes I cannot even find google. The problem extends beyond my one network, however, as I have difficulty connecting to other wireless networks. I am on a college campus and sometimes can connect to the campus WiFi, but it again frequently connects without being able to figure out an IP address. Some help would be great.

I have a similar issue. Mine does the same thing, but only if in a specific area. If I'm sitting on my recliner with the Air on my lap, then it will connect, but I can't get to any sites. The browser just stalls.
If I move to the table that's 3 feet away from me, then the internet connects without any problems.
It could be a reception issue with me, or something. I don't know. At first it connected at very high speeds. That was before 10.5.2.
I don't know if the Leopard Update has anything to do with it, since my iMac doesn't have this problem at all. And that has an N card also.
I hope Apple is looking into this wireless issues.

Airport connected to internet but not putting out wireless

Hey there,
Have a G5 connected directly to an airport extreme that is connected to the internet just fine. Not the new generation airport extreme.
My POWERBOOK G4 is not showing a wireless signal at all and usually does. I checked the powerbooks system preferences, network, airport status and it says, "Airport is connected to the network. Airport has a self assigned IP address and may not able to connect to the internet." The airport is connected to the airport because my G5 is directly connected through it.
This set up has worked before but I'm not sure when it stopped because I haven't been using my powerbook for some time.
Both computers are running OS 10.3.9 Both can connect to the internet directly through the airport. All the setting are set in the airport set up.
Anyone have any idea how to get this wireless set up back up and running ?
thanks,
tnixer

Okay, looking at the Airport Admin Utility.
INternet> configured manually (won't work automatic)
Network> Distribute IP address is checked.
And Share a single address is checked. Use 10.0.1.1 adressing is selected
IF I uncheck "Distribute IP address" then Airport can't connect to the internet.
I can't get Share A Range of IP address to even take the number I type in.
The thing of all this is it used to work.
One thing that happened is I tried a different internet provider, didn't like, changed back to my usual service. Maybe that is when this started because like I said I haven't tried using my powerbook for a while so I'm not sure.
In any case it seems like its just a matter of settings since this set up has worked for years.
Maybe sharing my settings with give some clues ?
thanks,
tnixer

Airport Issues, Connects to BS But Not Internet

Hello, I hope someone can help me out here. I have tried several ways to fix this but still haven't had any luck. My issue is my Powerbook is having issues connecting to the internet through the base station. I can connect to other networks in my building and elsewhere with no issues. I get full strength on our connection and can connect to the base station but I cannot connect to the internet though our base station. Our BS firware is 5.7 my comp os is 10.4.7.
The thing that gets me is my roommate can connect fine with his MacBook Pro. I have tried everything from reseting, hard resetting, changed the settings, reset the PMU, etc.
Any help on this issue would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to Discussions redlight24fps,
I assume you mean BS is referring to Airport Express Base Station? if so you should up date your Airport Express Firmware.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75422
Also make sure you have the latest Airport Software.

MacBook Air loses connection to internet but not LAN

Hi, I am using a MacBook Air 11" (mid-2012) running OS X Mavericks (10.9.3). I'm connecting to my home LAN via WiFi connection to a TP-Link 300M Wireless router that is setup as a switch (per instructions here http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=417), which in turn is connected via wire (ethernet-over-power) to a Technicolor cable modem/router provided by my ISP (UPC in the Netherlands; I can look up the model number of the router if needed, but it's two floors down right now and doesn't strike me that this is the cause of the problem).
I have a problem that my MacBook Air intermittently loses connectivity to the internet for extended periods (minutes) even though (a) the MacBook Air maintains full connectivity to my LAN at the same time through WiFi and (b) other computers connected to the cable modem/router maintain their connection to the internet while my MacBook Air has lost its connection.
My test to see where the breakdown is occurring is to have four terminal windows up and running ping processes:
1) ping to 192.168.0.1 (my router) - this always stays live, with essentially no lost packets
2) ping to an external address (I'm using 74.125.136.94, a google.nl address) - this is my main test for access to the internet and where I see ping failures (I'm also testing with pings to other sites when the problem is occurring to ensure it's not something on the remote end).
3) ping to 192.168.0.13, which is a Synology NAS attached via ethernet cable to my main cable modem/router - this always stays live, with essentially no lost packets.
4) a login to the Synology NAS, where I am also running a continual ping to 74.125.136.94, and this external ping does NOT fail when the one from my MacBook Air does, it stays live with essentially no lost packets.
The problem will usually correct itself after 1-3 minutes (though the time is not consistent), and also gets corrected if I turn the MacBook Air's WiFi off and on again.
Any suggestions for what I can do to stop this problem?
Thanks
John

No. If connected to WiFI served by Technicolor, the problem does not occur (even if the other AP is connected to the network).

Unfortunately, Technicolor in router mode is required by my ISP.

Yes.

Yes. A Windows machine and several iOS mobile devices work flawlesly for me.

No. The problem occurs only if connected through additional AP.

Not yet. I will not have a chance to do it for the next few days though :/
