Airport Express - How to set proxy settings?

Hello all
I have an AirPort Express in for testing at work.
The internet access at work requires going through a proxy. This proxy gets set on domain clients via gpo.
We have some devices we dont want to put on the domain (wont get the gpo) but we need them to have internet access.
We could set the proxy on these devices manauly but theres a lot of them.
I have been trying to find where in the Airports settings you can set proxy settings but cant find anything.
Can you set proxy settings manualy in the device and if so, where abouts?
I'm using windows for accessing the Airports settings.
Thanks for any help someone can offer.

unfortunately i have to use 1.4 which makes this a bit more tricky.
my other idea was to use system.setProperties to set the 2 proxy fields and then afterwards set them back to what they were -- however in the case they were null I get an NPE when I try and set them back, so I'd need a workaround for that as well.

How to set proxy authentication using java properties at run time

Hi All,
How to set proxy authentication using java properties on the command line, or in Netbeans (Project => Properties

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

How to set gprs settings in i phone 4

Dear Sir

See pages 11 and 135 of the iPhone User Manual:
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 6.1 Software)

I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac. Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before. I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings.

I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac.
Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before.
I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

When the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is connected by Ethernet, you will find an option in the AirPort Utility, labeled: Enable AirTunes over Ethernet on the Music pane. Just select this option to allow streaming iTunes via the AirPort's Ethernet port. You should also be able to disable the AX's wireless so that it shouldn't interfere with the nearby TC.

Airport Express -- how high off the ground?

I'm thinking of getting Airport Express. I'd put it by my TV in the living room since that's where the stereo system is so I can pipe iTunes into the main system.
Only thing I'm now hung up on is where to plug the thing in. The closest available outlet is rather low to the ground.
So I'm wondering, for those who have Airport Express, how high off the ground do you think the outlet needs to be in order to allow all the cords to hang underneath and whatnot...?
The outlet is actually oriented sideways... do you think the unit would be able to stay in place if it's hanging that way? If not, I can easily use an outlet rotator, but this then brings me to the issue of clearance off the floor...
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the discussions!
In general, wireless devices like the AirPort Express need to be placed in a higher location to avoid as many obstructions as possible. There's nothing wrong with attaching an extension cord to the device to move it up higher if that is possible.
If you must plug the device into a low wall socket, try to allow the Express as much of a free look into the room as possible.

Owned an iMac for 5 years - have no idea what my password is for my AirPort Express which I set up about 3 years ago My wife has just purchased an iPad 2 and it is asking for my forgotten password - how do I retrieve it ?

How do I recover my password set up when I added AirPort Express to my iMmac a few years ago.. My wife has just purchased an iPad and it is asking for that "forgotten" password to make the Wi Fi connection ?

From the airport express user manual:
If You Forgot Your Network or AirPort Express Password
You can clear the AirPort network or AirPort Express password by resetting AirPort
Express.
To reset your password:
1 Use the end of a straightened paper clip to press and hold the reset button for one
second.
2 Select your AirPort network.
On a Macintosh computer:
=> Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar to select the network created by AirPort
Express (the network name does not change).
3 Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a
Macintosh
4 Select your AirPort Express and click Configure.
5 In the dialog that appears, make the following changes:
Â Reset the AirPort Express password.
Â Turn on encryption to activate password protection for your AirPort network. If you
turn on encryption, enter a new password for your AirPort network.
6 Click OK.
AirPort Express restarts to load the new settings

Can't see Airport Express unit, nor Airport Express Setup in my Network Settings

I can see my Airport Express in the Airport Express Utility App, lights are all green, but I can't see the unit, nor see the Airport Express Setup section inside my Network Settings. This is the case when trying to find the WiFi signal from 3 MacBookPros, as well as my iPad and iPhone (all running latest OS versions). I've been through the screenshots on line about how easy this is supposed to be to set up, but I cannot see the Express units at all. Oh, and I've downloaded the firmware updates and recycled the unit. No change. Bad Unit?

Do you want the Express to create a wireless network?
How did you configure the Express to connect to the Internet, and how are you connecting to the Internet now?
Here are the instructions: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1613/en_US/airport_express_80211n_2 nd_gen_setup_guide.pdf
Let me know the page where you're getting stuck or where things aren't making sense.

My AirPort Express was successfully set up, but internet won't connect.

I recently purchased an AirPort Express to be used as the main source of Wi-Fi in my home. I followed the instructions in both the manual and on the computer to set up a new network, and the AirPort set up successfully and lit up green. Only problem is that when I tried to connect to Safari and Mail, it said there was no internet connection, even though it recognized the network. When I went to change the settings, it said there was no valid IP address. I've tried this on 3 different computers, resetting it for each one, and got the same results every time.
If you have any ideas to what could be causing this and how it could be fixed, could you please help?
Thanks.

Whenever you connect something different to a cable modem, they usually have to be power-cycled for the change to be recognized. It wouldn't hurt to reset everything else while you're waiting.
Here's what Tesserax usually says in this sort of situation:
It's always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your network components when changing configurations.
Please try the following:
o Power-off the broadband cable modem, AirPort Express Base Station (AX) and computer(s); Order is not critical. Leave all off for at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-on the cable modem; wait at least 10 minutes.
o Plug-in the AX; wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s).
Your Express should be configured to connect via Ethernet, configure IPv4 "via DHCP", and connection sharing should be set to "share a public IP address" which will distribute individual IP addresses to your computers.
It should go without saying, but also be sure your computers are all connected to your Express's wireless network (under the "fan" icon in the menubar), and that their network port configurations are correct - if all this doesn't make sense to you, reply for more help.

Can Airport Express / Computer be set up to steam music and go online at the same time?

I can only connect my MacBook to one device (wireless modum and airport extreme) at a time. I have gotten a few error messages during setup that make me wonder if it is the "refurb" device that is bad. I get error messages when I try to set it up wirelessly. Or do I need the extreme to do what I want? I installed all updates it asked for as well.

Yes, both can be done simultaneously. You just need to reconfigure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to "join" the wireless network provided by the other wireless router.
AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - iTunes Setup
Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <existing wireless network>
Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup >Music
Enable AirTunes (checked)
iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
Verify Password: (optional)
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

How to set proxy server name in iasenv.ksh?

How to set the proxy server host and port in the JAVA_ARGS list in the iasenv.ksh file? IAS 6.5 is the server being used.

hi,
Below is what needs to be done.
1. Edit the variable JAVA_ARGS in iasenv.ksh to include the -Dhttp.proxyHost. For example, the JAVA_ARGS looks like this : JAVA_ARGS="-Xss512k -Xms64m -Xmx64m -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.myhost.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"
2. This JAVA_ARGS is the one under the kjs script settings. You will find this below the comment ## Set all user level JVM flags for KJS here.
3. Now stop and restart the application server.
4. Any new URL connections from the servlets/applications within the appserver will now go through the proxy server.
I have tested this on iAS6.0 SP3. But this should work in 6.5 too. Please let me know if this helps.
Cheers,
Vasanth

Airport Express and IPTV Set Top Box

I want to connect an IPTV Set Top Box to my wireless router but my provider's STB doesn't have Wireless networking. So I though to connect it to my wireless network with an Airport Express.
I made a scheme of how it would be connected:
Is it possible to make this?

The Ethernet port on the AirPort Express (AX) is ONLY active when the AX uses WDS to wirelessly connect to a network. Unfortunately very, very, very few non-Apple devices support Apple's WDS.
So if your wireless router is another AX or an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), this is possible. But otherwise it is most likely not possible.

Multiple Airport Express Base Station Set-up

I live in the country and need to re-configure four Airport Express (AE) stations for coverage to multiple buildings. I set this up successfully about two+ years ago. Last week, our place got struck by lightning which took out our modem and main base station (which was an AE). Modem is replaced/working and hooked up to a new AE main base station (additional one I had around) and sending wireless signal. I have been able to set-up one additional unit (AE) as a remote station and it seems to be working fine. However, I cannot get the additional two units to communicate with the wireless network.
Some additional background information:
1. all AE units are model A1804 (with software version 6.3)
2. the "remote" unit has been reconfigured as both a relay and remote in an attempt to communicate with the additional units.
3. I am configuring the units manually and all appears to go well with a successful update of the unit. However, on restart the unit cannot be found and never joins the network. I end up doing a hard reset and trying various options with no success.
4. I have been using several of the tips offered on this site, with the main one providing good results for setting up the main base station and one additional AE being: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2422028&tstart=0
5. I have the main base station in the home office upstairs in a two story house in the SE corner. The second unit is downstairs in the NW corner. The other buildings are NW and W of the house and will connect to the network from the downstairs NW house unit.
Again, I had all four of these working and communicating just fine for over two years. I am pretty sure this system was set-up on an older OS (10.4). I am now using 10.5.8. I am pretty frustrated and would appreciate any input.

That advice should be sufficient. I've had the most trouble configuring a "static WDS" arrangement when I didn't use the exact same network name, encryption type, password, band, and channel settings for each station.

Airport Express: How to switch out of Bridge Mode

I have an Airport Express connected to a Westell 7500 Modem/Router.
Talking with Airport Express support from Apple today they told me that since I was running in Bridge mode there
was limited amount of support that they could provide. Since my AE is only provisioning wireless.
I'd like to change that. I suspect that on the AE I need to unconfigure Bridge Mode.
The Apple person said that the modem would need be configured from 'Private IP to Public IP'.
In the config for the Westell there is an Advanced/Lan/Private Lan which is enabled and has a DHCP start address of 10.0.0.2
and end address of 10.0.0.33.
There is also an Advanced/Lan/Public Lan page which is currently disabled.
It has Public LAN DHCP Server Enable, Public Lan Enable, Public Lan IP address (set to 0.0.0.0), and Public Lan Subnet Mask (set to 0.0.0.0).
Are these the areas I need to change?
I'm currently using two of the Ethernet ports on the Westell. One feeds into the Airport Express.
The other is connected to one of my Windows 7 PC's.
Thanks for any advice or help!

I think my concern is support as we are becoming more Apple centric.
I would suggest that you check with your Internet service provider to see if they can furnish you with a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway device.
Then, Apple will fully support that setup....and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will as well.
If you are thinking of trying to configure your modem/router to function as a simple bridge mode modem, it might be a good idea to first ask your ISP.....
1) if this is even possible and, if so,
2) how to do this, and
3) if they will support you when the device is configured this way.
I would be very surprised if your ISP will satisfy all three conditions above, so if service and support is important as you state, you might want to think of both your ISP and Apple in that regard.
