Airport express in windows cant find dns

I got my macbook dual booted and my airport express is working perfectly on the Mac OS X side of things, but on windows 7, my macbook sees the airport express and can connect to the network but im told i have no internet connectivity due to the DNS server not responding.
What can i do?

Hmm. As you know the last step in configuring Windows under Boot Camp is for you to install the Mac hardware drivers off the OS X Installation disc. There may be newer drivers available and I would recommend checking for these first. You should be able to check for them here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/, and then, check the "Apple Downloads" list in the upper-right corner of the page.

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.

Can't Autodetect AirPort Express in Windows

I've just recently started being unable to autodetect my AirPort express from Windows machines. I use it primarily as an AirPlay speaker, but applications such as iTunes (for Windows), Airfoil, and the AirPort Utility can't see it. This seems to be limited to Windows machines; iTunes on the Mac can see and play to it just fine, as can an iPhone. It's just my two Windows 8 machines that can't see it -- one of them used to be able to, the other I just tried installing the AirPort Utility on today. The AirPort Utility can be used to manually configure the AirPort Express when given its IP, just can't find it automatically. Tried disabling the Windows Firewall; tried repairing and uninstalling/reinstalling Bonjour (current version is 3.0.0.10).
Not really sure where else to go from here -- between everything that is/isn't working it seems like the only possible cause is some issue with Bonjour for Windows. This problem cropped up within the past month or so -- I don't use AirPlay from my Windows box all that often -- which looks like it would roughly correspond with Bonjour v3.0.0.10 coming out.
Any ideas? I want to try going back to Bonjour v3.0.0.2 but I've been striking out so far finding a download for it.

Hi Bob, thanks for stick with me on this. I did get it and I'll share some points here for those that may be having the same issue. My opinions: Extreme find Express is a bit finicky. Reason even though I had it plugged directly into the Extreme via ethernet cable, sometimes it saw it sometimes not. The thing I found the best to do is unplug the express, unplug the ether cable, plug it all back in and press the hard reset. I had to do it a couple of times until it worked and I only new to keep trying from some other posts outside of this support forum. One of the most iportant things here is what Bob says, you must know your Extreme security level and the password. Also, its a bit peculiar because once your Express shows up in Airport Utility and you are following the 'wizard' it provides a drop-down to select a wireless network to join. At this point I expected to see the wireless network but its not there. I had to type it in. Lastly is not clear why you would choose join a network vs extend a newtwork - could use some docs on that. Hope this helps others.

I have a second generation airport express and i cant manage to extend my wifi

I have a second generation airport express and i cant manage to extend my wifi

So im going to need another airport express to extend my wifi wireless
That is correct.
One AirPort will connect to your router with a short Ethernet cable and be configured to "create" a wireless network.
The second AirPort will be configured to "extend" a wireless network.

If the AX is working properly, it should not show up in your list of available networks (since it is "joined" to your router). Have you unplugged and replugged your AX? Unplugged and, after a minute, replugged your router? Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on your router? (if so, disable it to see if the AX works ... it will broadcast its MAC address to the router, and you can add it.) Is your firewall turned on? Turn it off and see if you can access Airtunes. You will have to open a port in your firewall if that is the case.
The AX should have the same network name as your router the wireless tab. When it shows up, what name is it broadcasting?

TS1717 windows cant find itunes exe.

Installed new version of Itunes onto pc.On start up I get massage that windows cant find programs/itunes/itunes exe,check address again.Has anybody got an idea?

Can you check something for me please?
In Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive your Program files are installed on).
If you have a 32-bit Windows Vista, open the "Program Files" folder.
If you have a 64-bit Windows Vista, open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Doubleclick directly on the iTunes.exe file. Do you still get the same message?

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 Utility cannot find my Airport express on Windows 7

   I have a working Airport express with a static ip address. The static ip address has been hard coded in my main router. The airport express is connected to my network via ethernet cable. Airport Express Version 7.6.1. I am having conectivity issues from my new Windows Desktop. The airport utility 5.6.1 on my new desktop cannot find my airport express. The manual setup button has been greyed out. I can ping the device. I can click on "configure other" and configure the airport-express (which is how I set it up).    If I reboot my desktop and then quickly fire up the airport utility, it finds the device. On hitting rescan, in a few minutes everything gets greyed out again.
The airport utiltity on other computers is able to find that airport express.   I am able to stream music through the airport express from other computers in the network.
How do I find out what is blocking the airport utility on my new desktop. The Bonjour Service is up and running.   Any help/advice on trouble shooting this issue is appreciated.

The airport utiltity on other computers is able to find that airport express.   I am able to stream music through the airport express from other computers in the network.
You only need one computer on the network to access the settings in the AirPort, so unless you like to look for things, it is probably not worth the effort to try to troubleshoot the blocking action on the Windows 7 machine.
It is not always the Windows Firewall and/or the anti-virus program that blocks connection attempts like this, but that would be the first place to look.
In general, you have to get into the Firewall settings to create an "exception" for the AirPort connection. The same would be true for the anti-virus if that is what is blocking the connection attempt between the PC and AirPort.

Unable to see Airport Express from Windows Airport Utility

I am setting up an Airport Express to connect remote speakers for a friend with windows base system. The router is a TrendNet.
I have managed to add the Airport Express to the network. I can ping the router, and if I put in the IP address to Airport Utility it is found and I can configure it. Airport Utility on it's own however will not find the Airport Express.
I can currently play to the Airport speakers from multiple iPhones also on the network, so I know that part is working as well. What is not working is the Airport Express is not showing up in iTunes as an available speaker. I am guessing that as the Airport Utility also will not recognize it that is had something to do with firewall rules on the Windows 7 computer or Trendnet Router. I checked Windows 7, and there are four Bonjour entries and one iTunes entry. All seem set open for incoming requests.
At this point I'm puzzled. Any network gurus out there have new ideas?
Thanks
Gary

I just ran both the verify and repair options on both the permissions and the volume. The ~/Library permissions are repaired, but that was all. I also checked the software update, but I have all the latest installed, it seems.
Where can I check my AirTunes version? I tried spotlighting for it, but that search came up empty. I did install the version that came with the AirPort Express. It says "AirPort 4.2", so I guess that's the version installed at the moment. My iTunes version is 7.0.2. I upgraded the firmware to version 6.3.
I have very little knowledge of networking, I'm afraid, and I'm starting to think that maybe the problem could be my router being set up in such a way that it won't allow the AirPort Express to connect properly.
The reason I believe it's my network rather than the AirPort Express is because when I reset the device, I see that new network named "Apple Network xxxxx". When I connect to it, iTunes properly displays that AirTunes selection box in the lower right and I can stream music to it. With the ethernet cable plugged in, the sound does lag every now and then whenever I use an applications that needs Internet access.
The MacBook, router and AirPort Express are about one to two meters apart (that's three to six feet, I think). I'm not quite sure if the SpeedTouch router is set up properly. Luckily, a friend of mine who's a system administrator is coming over today, so I'll ask him if he could have a look at my network setup.
Thanks for all the help and the fast replies! :^)
my thumb is all sore
Bathe it in salt water
I'll try that, haha. :^)
Your English is excellent .
Thanks! :^)

Printing to Canon Pixma MP170 on Airport Express from Windows XP

I got a Canon MP170 basically for free with the rebates.
Connected to my Airport Express, installed the drivers on my PowerMac and I can print just fine (I am aware that the scanner will only work when connected directly - which also works fine).
Now I installed the drivers on Windows XP, then added a new printer, selected the Standard TCP/IP port where I had my other printer on the Aiport Express before and changed the printer driver to the Canon MP170. Could not print.
Deleted the port (only managed after deleting the printer(s) defined with it and restarting Windows ...) and created the port from scratch - Standard TCP/IP port, IP address of my Airport Express, device type Generic Network Card, raw port 9100. Won't print.
Anybody managed to get this going?
Thanks in advance and Best Regards,
alex

Try Port 9101

Trouble printing to Canon ip4200 over Airport Express from Windows XP

I've just spent the last 4 hours trying to get my Dell laptop running XP to print to my Canon ip4200 USB printer connected to my Airport Express. My PowerBook (10.3.4) connected without issue and has been working fine. The XP laptop just refused to print, and the "troubleshooter" was useless. It would print fine over a direct USB connection, but, despite following the directions for connecting an Airport Printer in XP to the letter, it failed to print every time.
I was tearing my hair out in frustration when I eventually discovered this post at macosxhints: "RAW port has changed!" (scroll down thew page a bit):
http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=display&sid=2003072510530643&title=R AW%20port%20has%20changed%21&type=article&order=&pid=0
The default Raw configuration for "Standard TCP/IP Port" was set to 9100. I manaully changed it to 9101 and all works great now.
I don't know where the default of 9100 came from, but this has cost me an entire morning of frustration. GRRRRR!

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?
