AirPort Extreme (Still) Looking for a PPPoE Host

Help! I have a PowerBook G4 (OS X 10.4.2) that I've used with my AirPort Extreme for over a year and half without any major problems. I upgraded to AirPort 4.2 last week without incident, but since yesterday my base station hasn't been able to connect over PPPoE to my DSL.
Sometimes the AirPort Admin Utility can't find the base station, even after a hard reset; sometimes it can find it but not configure it ("there was an error configuring the base station"). Even if I can connect to the base station and configure it, though, the base station still won't connect to the internet ("Looking for PPPoE host" for about 5 minutes, followed by "Not connected via PPPoE. There was no answer.") I can get on the internet without any problems if I connect through the built-in Ethernet, at least once completely reconfigure the network port settings.
I'm not sure what to do at this point; I've tried to reset both the base station and the modem over 20 times (including leaving them unplugged for an hour), and "rebuilding AirPort from scratch" like one of the other posts suggested, but nothing seems to work. At this point I'm considering re-installing the software AirPort came with (3.1) or re-installing Tiger, though I'm not sure 3.1 will work with Tiger--and I'd prefer not to rebuild the entire system.
Any ideas?

I'm suffering from the same problem but was able able to run airTunes. First, go to admin and tell it not to connect using PPPoE but make sure you uncheck the PPPoE in Network. Now the other problem that I have is the latest Airport Admin Utility. It will not connect. Solid green light, AE is just a metre away and it says 'can't connect to the net. So how do I remove Admin 6.4 'cause that's the main problem. i've installed the Express firmware 6.1.1 & 6.2. I'm buggerd if I know.

    I cannot add a Wi-Fi guest network. Gone to Utilities>Airport Utilities and all I get is an image/browser of my Airport Extreme. Looking for the browser window which has the title Wireless but cannot find anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

    Open AirPort Utility. The first screen looks something like this:
    Click on the AirPort Extreme and another screen will appear. Click Edit, then the window with the Wireless tab will appear.
    If you do not see these screens, you will need to start over and configure your AirPort again.

    I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

    Hi,
    The reason that you are getting the ! is because iTunes is still looking for the music on your external hard drive.
    You need to create a new library iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
    Now turn on iTunes Match and select add this computer. You will now see all your music in the cloud. When you want to add new music, revert to the original library on your external hard drive.

  • My printer is a Samsung ML-2010R.  Still looking for a driver solution to run Mac OS X Lion through a new Macbook Pro.  Previously, I was running Mac Os X version 10.5.8 through this printer  on a 4 yr old Macbook. Any further help is most appreciated:-)

    My printer is a Samsung ML-2010R.  Still looking for a driver solution to run Mac OS X Lion through a new Macbook Pro.  Previously, I was running Mac Os X version 10.5.8 through this printer  on a 4 yr old Macbook. Any further help is most appreciated:-)  Humbly, bowiej

    Apple seems to be naming their operating sytems usability based on the respective turd size of the feline in question. Lions are big, very, very, very big.
    I had a system that served me well for 2 years until I mistaking bought a new machine which runs mega-turd (Lion). Foolish me, now nothing works properly, its a daily struggle to get anything working smoothly using my NEW mac mini. All my other machines work fine, even the windows machines and my Android tablet see all the network components and can talk to each other.
    My Internet service is over 3g which I share to the house using internet sharing via my brand new €800 mac mini running POS Lion, everytime the service is interrupted, Kaboom, the mini resets the DHCP server, but doesn't seem to refresh any of the components so connections drop everywhere.
    Its amateur hour at Apple folks.
    There are several posts alone relating to internet sharing, I have submitted a bug report relating to the non user controllable DHCP server (which may be at fault), but the response / solution from Apple was lacklustre and ultimately didn't work.
    See this, there are some work around's in there;

  • Why tomcat is still looking for old jar files?

    Please help me it is a very serious problem.
    I updated one of the jar files used by the project. I am using a new method that is available only in the new library. I removed the old jar files in my local system, and everything worked fine. Then I commit those files to the subversion, which is in the testing server, and then I created the war file. The war is successfully created, then I deployed to the tomcat. But, now there is an error in the portion I am using the method that is only available in the new jar files.
    One of the error when I go to that portion is:
    1. No Such Method Exists
    The other errors on log files are:
    1.
    WARNING: Failed to open JAR
    java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or directory
    2.
    validateJarFile(tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/j2ee.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spe
    c 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class
    Please help me, I have tried every other way to solve this. I have tried removing all the old jar files there were, and replacing with the new one. I have tried creating a war file and ftping to the testing server.
    I problem is still there and it is because the testing server's tomcat is still looking for old jar files. I used Netbeans and add jar files as usual method.

    Check the contents of your WAR file that you are deploying on the testing server to see if it contains the JAR that you can't find.
    More than likely you are building your WAR file and your new JAR file is not being included in the build.

  • Can you use airport extreme 802.11n for files backup

    Can you use airport extreme 802.11 for files back up and sharing

    You can if you connect a hard drive that has been formatted correctly to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups for this type of setup, but you could store regular files this way.

    Is teher a way of modifying the playlist files?
    Thanks,

    I've had this problem too. Only way I know is either use smart play lists or rebuild your play lists from scratch
    If anybody else has a solution or a program that can resolve this it would be great.
