Airport Express won't forward port 1119

I can't seem to get my Airport Express to forward traffic to port 1119 to my laptop, even though it forwards traffic to port 55555 just fine.
Airport Express is sharing the public IP with my DSL modem, the laptop has a DHCP reservation, and I have forwarded both ports via Airport Utility > Advanced > Port Mapping. However, tools like the port scan at whatismyip.org show that port 55555 is open but port 1119 is not. I get similar results with port 1120, and putting 1119 and 55555 together inside the same item gives me the same results.
Does anyone know why this is happening or what I can do to troubleshoot? I am comfortable with the Terminal and most networking concepts but this I can't understand.

Some questions...
1) Are you forwarding UDP and TCP?
2) Does the server you are trying to contact require both UDP and TCP?
3) Does netstat show a listener on port 1119 on your machine?
4) Are you running firmware 7.5.2? I and a number of other persons have had
    problems like you are describing with this firmwre. In my case a UDP port used
   by VPN would suddenly quit forwarding packets. I had to downgrade to 7.4.2 in order
   to clear the problem.

Older Airport express won't see the signal from the cable modem.

Older Airport express won't see the signal from the cable modem.
My macbook sees the AP express and I can stream music to it but no internet. If I plug the ethernet cable directly into the macbook I can see the internet

Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Airport Express won't connect to internet...all is green

My Airport express won't connect to established Network in my office. I am connecting to a 10/100 base T in the building (as the modem, I assume) and want to broadcast the network for wifi. Express sets up ok, but than cannot find the internet....any suggestions? The port is live as I can directly connect it to my Mac Book and find the internet without issues.

It is possible to have a green light on the Express if some network errors are overlooked, so it may be necessary to reset the Express back to factory default settings and start over again.
Keep in mind that some networks will not allow a router to be added to the network, so a computer might work, but a router may not.
What model number of AirPort Express do you have?
What operating system are you using on the MacBook?
Do yo know if the Express has been configured to operate in Bridge Mode?

I have a HDD attached to my AirPort Express through a 7-port USB

I have a HDD attached to my AirPort Express through a 7-port USB hub. How come it doesn't show in my iMac?

To add to what Tesserax said -
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2421
The USB port on the Express only supports a USB printer. You will need to connect the hub to your iMac.

AirPort Express won't work with 7.0.2

Everything was fine til I bought a new Shuffle. It made me upgrade to 7.0.2, now my Airport Express won't work. I have firmware 6.2 and just uploaded all of the newest updates from apple.com for it (AX). The security is off on my network and the AX is connected with a green light. Still no option to choose my home stereo which is hooked up to the AX. HELP! I have spent all day trying to get this to work!!!!

My Airport Express when it is setup to extend my network while plugged into Ethernet will Create a network under settings
This is the correct setting to "extend" the network using an Ethernet connection. Technically, this is called a "roaming" network.
If I change this to Extend A Network it doesn't work properly.
This is because "Extend a wireless network" is used only when AirPort devices communicate with each other using wireless only......not Ethernet.
It would help if Apple used settings like "Extend a network using Ethernet" and "Extend a network using wireless only".....but they don't.
The AirPort Extreme will need to be configured as the main router if you want it to provide a Guest Network. It cannot do this if it is configured in Bridge Mode.

My Airport Express won't extend range. How to set up?

My Airport Express won't extend the range of my Airport Extreme. How should I set it up to get it to work? Stuart

When the Express is configured to "extend" it is a wireless repeater.
"Adding Wi-Fi base stations when it is unnecessary
Speaks for itself
can reduce Wi-Fi throughput because the Wi-Fi network will require more data management overhead."
As will adding another computer, iPhone or any wireless device to the network, for that matter.
FWIW, I have run 4 AirPort Expresses all setup to "extend" and noticed nothing except faster Internet browsing and download speeds throughout the house.
IF...you can connect the AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme using an Ethernet connection, that will provide better overall performance. That is the way any commercial network is designed, except on a much larger scale.

I have recently changed my bt home hub and now my airport express won't connect to it? Any suggestions?

I have recently changed my bt home hub and now my airport express won't connect to it? Any suggestions?

Anytime you change out a modem or modem router like the HomeHub, the AirPort Express needs to be reset back to factory default settings and then set up again.
The reason for this is that the Express is retaining some or all of the settings to connect to your "old" modem or hub, so it will not work correctly with a new device unless you start over again from factory default settings on the Express.
Power up the Express for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the side of the Exprsss for 8-10 seconds, then release and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Now, set up the Express again, like you did originally with the "old" modem or hub that you had previously.

Airport Express won't connect to Extreme by ethernet

Hi,
Here is my setup:
a) Airport Extreme (802.11n 2nd gen) connected by ethernet to cable modem
b) Airport Express #1 setup to wirelessly extend network
This has worked fine for quite some time.
Now, what I tried to is add a 2nd Airport Express via ethernet, so
the new setup is:
1) cable modem via ethernet to Airport Extreme
2) ethernet connection from Airport Extreme to D-Link 8 port gigabit switch
3) ethernet from switch to several devices (Tivo, GoogleTV,etc) and also to an in-wall ethernet connection to another part of my house
4) ethernet from that in-wall ethernet to another D-Link switch
5) ethernet from that other switch to printer (currently works fine) and to Airport Express #2
6) Airport Express #1 still connected wirelessly
Problem: Airport Express #2 will not connect. Won't show up in Airport Utility. Nothing.
I have tried several factory resets.
After many tries, I finally tried connecting it wirelessly. This worked, and I was able to see AEX#2 in the Airport Utility. But, when I then tried to connect it by ethernet, it shut down my entire network. I can not anywhere find step by step instructions on how to connect the AEX by ethernet to the Extreme.
I have reviewed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145 but find no help there.
Looking forward to some great help.
- Blue

If I switch Express#2 (the one I would lilke to connect by ethernet) to "create" a network, with the same SSID and PW, then I can only see Express#2 in the utility and the Extreme and Express#1 dissappear.
As soon as you set the Express #2 to "Create a wireless network, the setting for Connection Sharing will change from Bridge Mode to Share a public IP address. That is likely what is throwing you off.
Setup Express #2 to "Create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, same wireless security and same password.
The next...and last....and critical....step before you click Update must be to change the setting for Connection Sharing from Share a public IP address to Off (Bridge Mode).
Now click Update and wait for a green light on Express #2.
Then, you have to power cycle the entire network.
Power off everything in any order you want.
Wait a minute
Start the modem first and let it run a minute
Start the AirPort Extreme next the same way
Then the switch, etc.
You get the idea....keep starting devices one at a time until the entire network is back up.
Now all the AirPorts will be on the same subnet and visible in AirPort Utility.

AirPort Express won't connect because of self-assigned IP address

For years, my old AirPort Express worked just fine. Then it quit (no little lights, no action), so I bought a new one.
Now I am running into the dreaded "apple self-assigned ip address 169.254.29.74" error, which is apparently a chronic Apple thing. There's discussion all over the internet about it, and nothing seems to help.
First, the equipment:
AirPort Express
OS X 10.6.8 (Please don't tell me to upgrade because my old hardware won't support the newer OS)
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. (I don't have money for a new computer and this one is working fine except for this glitch)
Memory 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Actions taken so far:
Ran the AirPort setup utility (at least ten times)
Reset the AirPort to factory specs (at least ten times)
Deleted all the old Keychain references to the old network
Deleted all the old preference files, including one for a firewall
Reset the cable modem (five or six times)
Powered down the cable modem and turned it back on (only two or three times)
Physically typed in the IP address that works for Ethernet, but got the error message that it's being used by another device (This is insane because all the other devices that could connect are physically powered down. There's only one live computer trying to connect.)
Results:
I can get a new network to show up on the AirPort icon.
The Network part of System Preferences tells me that the problem is an apple self-assigned ip address 169.254.29.74 that won't connect. ("I made this and it's useless. Aren't you proud of me?)
Questions:
The documentation says this equipment will work with Snow Leopard. Is the documentation wrong? Should I try to find a simpler wireless router that doesn't demand as much from the computer?
Perhaps the AirPort is simply broken and I should return it for a new one?
Is there some secret work-around to defeat that self-assigned IP address glitch?

I am pretty sure the Express is running in the wrong mode..
The idea to plug the computer in is to check the setup.. not to need it permanently like that.. you can use either wireless or ethernet on the new express.. the old one you could only use wireless.
Please give me a screenshot of the setup of the express.
It must be in router mode.. ie when you open the airport utility and click edit.
Then go to the network tab.. it must show DHCP and NAT.. the DHCP range does not much matter..
But I also need to see that the wan port is getting an IP correctly.

Airport Express won't connect to internet

I configured the AX from factory settings about 3 times. I tried configuring with "using DHCP." I've tried to manually enter the IP address info to both the AX admin utility and through my macbook preferences. I've followed all the trouble shooting tips. I've restarted everything I can restart. I've even changed ethernet cables.
Ultimately, my mac says I'm connected to the internet on AX (network prefs> TCP/IP) but the AX blinks amber and the cable modem is all green lights, but won't register as "online"
Why can't I connect to the internet? How do I fix that problem?

Ok, let's double-check your AX's settings...
AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling (optional)
- Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Perform a "hard" reset of the AX (optional)
- (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
Setup the AX
With the network components powered down, set up the AX, using the AirPort Admin Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure: Using DHCP
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)

Airport express won't connect to existing network

Hi, I have a new airport express and an iPad. I want to plug my express into an existing Ethernet point in my room at work (I work at a mining camp) it worked before and my friends express works in the port. When I flew back to work this time it wouldn't work so I reset it and tried to set up a new network. I have the etherenet cable plugged in and the green light is on at the port in the back where the cable goes. When I try to set up the express it says it won't connect to the Internet. I also cannot see it on airport utility on my iPad. Is there're anything that I can do to fix this? It won't let me finish setting up the network at all and just reverts back to set up airport express in settings on my iPad. Thanks. Work uses a Cisco system if that helps, but like I said other people's work in the same prt in my room so it's not that.

tthis is wha is shiwn. I obv can't turn the modem off and on, unless this means turn the AE off and on which I have tried a lot.

Airport Express won't extend Airport Extreme Network

I use an Airport Extreme (AE) to connect to the internet. I use an Airport Express (AX) to extend the network via a WDS network. Until recently all was fine.
Last week I updated the firmware for my AE. Since then my AX has not been acting as a WDS extension. I have tried several times tonight to make the AE and AX talk to each other in this fashion. I have reset the AX to factory defaults and reset the AE as well. So far, nothing works.
Thought the AX might have failed. However, the AX will connect to the AE network just fine. It just won't extend the network.
Any ideas will be most appreciated.
Thanks.

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station. I just bought an Airport Express to extend my network and connect a wired device in my living room to my network via the Ethernet port. The Airport Express obtains an IP address from the Airport Extreme but I can't seem to get out to the Internet ...at least via the Ethernet port. When I installed the Airport Express, I updated it to 7.3.1.
This sounds like a similar problem to the original post.

Airport express won't extend network via ethernet but shows GREEN (HELP!!)

I have the following routers setup up the same network and are working.
10.0.1.1 Airport Extreme (connected to hardline from IP)
10.0.1.2 Time Capsule 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to computer via ethernet)
10.0.1.3 Time Capsule 2 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox1)
10.0.1.4 Airport Express 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox2)
Not working correctly
10.0.1.43 Airport Express 2 (wanting to set this router up to extend network to plug into desktop)
The router seems to join the network fine and will show GREEN but doesn't show a similar IP address as the rest of the routers. It also doesn't provide any internet connection via ethernet to any computer, the network pref page says that it shows RED and that nothing is connected to the computer for internet but airport shows GREEN.
Reset the router multiple times, tried every which way of setting it up and no go. I also tried assigning it a IP and not using DHCP and gave it a 10.0.1.5 and still the same outcome.
Right now just at complete loss as to what to try next.

Sorry, the older version of the Express does not have the option to "extend a wireless network", which is the setting on the new Express that provides more wireless coverage and also enables the Ethernet port.
What you want to do can be done with a different setting..."participate in a WDS network" on both the Time Capsule and Express, but I am not recommending that you do this because WDS operates only in "g" wireless mode. Your Time Capsule would lose most of its performance in this setting and the network would slow down tremendously...defintely not what you want for gaming.
You'll have the best performance if you connect the PS3 directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable. If it is not possible to run the cable, the next best performance option would be to use a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the existing AC wiring in your home.

Airport express and the ethernet port

Since January, I've had my older g/b model of airport express set to "join the network," which is an 802.11n airport extreme connected to my cable modem. Until last week, the ethernet port of the airport express could be used to connect in my DVD player or TV. I could do software updates on the DVD player, and watch youtube on the TV, etc. The connection became slow last week, so I decided to reconfigure the airports. Since then, the ethernet connection to the airport express is no longer recognized.
Please note, although the airport express is not an "n" model, this set-up did work just fine! The DVD or TV was automatically able to display my IP address. The express has a green light, it has no errors in Airport Utility, and AirTunes still works just fine — it's only the ethernet port that has become completely inactive.
Any thoughts?

Not sure how you managed to do this with an 802.11g AirPort Express unless you had it configured to extend the wireless range of the 802.11n AirPort Extreme in a WDS. As far as I know, the ProxySTA (wireless Ethernet bridge) capability is only available with the 802.11n Express.

Configuring Airport Express to enable ether port while connected to Extreme

I have an AE (Express) & APE (Extreme). Right now I have them joined, and I can listen to music through my home receiver via optical from the AE. Tonight I thought I would try to use the Ethernet port on the AE and I'm not having any luck. My PS3 will not obtain a IP Address. But when I connect it directly to the Extreme using the same cable it works just fine.
Is it possible to configure the Express to work with the Extreme so that I can still use the optical port & have my PS3 connected to the Ethernet port?
Any guides or help would greatly be appreciated.

You need to configure the AirPort Express (AX) and AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to join together using WDS.
To set up the main base station to share its Internet connection with
other base stations:
Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a Windows computer). Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
Click the Wireless button, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computers to connect to this base station.
Click the Add button and enter the MAC address of the base stations you want to connect to this base station.
If there is a base station listed that you’d like to remove from the list, select the base station and click the Delete (–) button.
Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS. By default, the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox is selected. If you deselect the checkbox, and later want to change the settings on the base station, you must connect to the base station’s LAN port with an Ethernet cable. You will not be able to connect to the base station wirelessly.
To set up the AX to connect to the main base station:
Open AirPort Utility. Select the AX, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
Click the AirPort button, and then click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
Enter the MAC address of the main base station in the WDS Main field. The MAC address is also referred to as the AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom of the base station.
Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.
