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.
Best regards,
Bouw

  • Airport express working on mac but not on pc

    My airport express works wonderfully on my Macbook Pro, but I would also like my PC to connect to the same network. I have tried everything that I have found online, and the PC will not recognize or "find" the airport network. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Ok, thanks for the additional info.
    I suggest trying the following:
    o Temporarily disable the WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless encryption, and then, check to see if any of the XP devices can now access the network/Internet?
    o If they can't then, while the encryption is still disabled, change the radio mode on the AX to a non-"n" one, like "802.11g only." You can access this mode, by holding down the <Option> (Mac) or <Control> (PC) key prior to selecting the mode within the AirPort Utility. Can they access the network/Internet now?

  • Airport express works w/itunes, but not when streaming any website

    My airport express works fine when using itunes. However, when I go to my favorite radio websites, my ibook g4 does not recognize that the AExpress exists. Is there a remedy?

  • Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

    I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube  with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

    Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
    I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
    Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
    You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
    For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
    No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
    Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
    Thanks,

  • Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

    For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
    The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
    I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
    The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
    Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

    The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
    http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
    This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
    You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
    It's the same problem in the other feed.

  • I get sound from Youtube with Safari but not with Firefox

    I get sound when using my MacPro with Safari but not with Firefox.

    Did you check the volume setting in the player to make sure that the sound isn't muted?
    You can try to clear the Flash local storage.

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

  • 8.5 Report works with OCX but not with CRAXDRT

    Post Author: kjwatson
    CA Forum: Older Products
    I have an application using Crystal Reports 8.5.  It uses the crystal reports OCX to view and print reports.I added the CRAXDRT to the application so I could export PDF files.  It works fine except that Running Total Fields and Formula Fields to not seem to evaluate correctly.  Formula Fields only work if they reference a Database Field.  If they reference a Running Total Field, they do not evaluate. I'm initializing the connection of the tables on the report and sub-reports.  Could I be missing something else? The reports work fine with the older OCX, but not with the CRAXDRT. Any help/ideas are appreciated!Thanks,Kevin

  • Typekit works with Dreamweaver but not with Muse?

    Why is it that I can use all Typekit's fonts together with Dreamweaver and not with Muse?
    The fonts currently available via the TypeKit font menu in Muse (3.1) are of very low quality. 98% of them are "display type fonts" at best in my humble opinion. I need high quality fonts when designing high quality projects for my customers.
    If I want to use Minion Pro or Futura in my Muse projects — are there any workarounds that does not get lost when I update the site with Muse? For example via the "HTML for <head>" field via the Page Properties dialog window in combination with some other Muse features?
    Does the Adobe Muse Team (or someone else) have a step-by-step guide how to accomplish this?
    Thanks a lot!
    Kudos to The Adobe Muse Team –  Muse is a fantastic piece of software. Easy to work with and really fun to use. Looking forward to the next update!

    This is strange, but hopefully good. 
    I searched for Typekit, fonts and Muse etc on the forums before posting and did not get any relevant hits. But now I think I've found the workaround in the column to the right of this very post under the headline "More Like This".

  • Setting margins works with ExportToDisk, but not with ExportToStream...

    I'm filling out a report with SetParameterValue, and not with database, and setting the margins with:
    templateCredencial.ReportDefinition.Sections["DetailSection1"].ReportObjects[elementNumber].Top;
    templateCredencial.ReportDefinition.Sections["DetailSection1"].ReportObjects[elementNumber].Left;
    After that when i call ExportToDisk to write as pdf, the margins that i setted are there, but when i use ExportToStream like that:
    MemoryStream stream = (MemoryStream)credentialTemplate.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat)
    And call stream.ToArray() as return in FileResult, the pdf that shows up on browser is without the margins that i setted. Does anyone have idea how can i return the pdf to the browser with correct margins without get file from disk, using only the stream?

    I don't know because you did not say what the results were or answer any other questions I asked.
    I said what the results were in first post:
    And call stream.ToArray() as return in FileResult, the pdf that shows up on browser is without the margins that i setted. Does anyone have idea how can i return the pdf to the browser with correct margins without get file from disk, using only the stream?
    And, where are you other questions? Sorry, i didn't see it.
    Why can't you simply export to Disk and then stream that file?
    I need performance, and if i need to write a pdf with 10mb, and after read it, and next return (with asp.net mvc 3) to browser like a FileResult, i 'll lose performance.
    What is the right way to change the margins and return it like a byte array without losing the margins that i setted?

    I am not sure...but have you heard that NS 6/Mozilla are use based on standards. So they dod not support some of the proprietary JS/CSS/Misc functionality of IE or NS 4.0+ versions. You can read more about the JavaScript differences on Netscape's NS6 evangism site. Maybe you are missing something. I think I remember reading something about getElementByID/Name ...

  • Express works for mac but not for pc's

    my airport express works for my mac and iphone, but it won't work with my wife's and friends' pc's. the password works for me, but when they attempt to enter the password their computers ask for a network key instead of the password. please help!

    I had successfully set up my Powerbook and PC to use Airport Express on a closed network. Been working fine for 5 weeks until tonight when neither machine could find the network. I reconnected the Mac but I can't get the PC hooked up again. Any ideas?

  • 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.
