Airport problems under XP on BootCamped iMac

Hi,
My install of XP using BootCamp has gone very well, and even though it still feels very very wrong I am pretty darn happy about it!
The only problem I am having is connecting to my wireless network. I don't have any problems with Airport under Mac OS X, or with my wi-fi enabled Windows XP laptop. I'm using a password protected WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption on all, connecting to a Belkin wireless router.
It hangs for a while when trying to acquire a network address, then says it is connected at 54mbps but with limited or no connectivity, and it doesn't work - no internet or anything. I've tried repairing it but to no avail. Before I start messing about with manual settings, I was just wondering if anybody knows what the probem could be here.
Omigod!
Do you realise what I just did?
I just posted a request for Windows XP help on the Apple discussion forums! Is this the beginning of the end? lol
20" iMac (Intel Core Duo) which I've just Boot Camped with Windows XP Home!   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   I've got a Windows laptop still... just in case.

  • Airport problems under osX, but working on bootcamp (mbp mid09)

    Hi, that's the problem:
    Airport used under snow leopard can't connect to my wifi network, but all others pc or internet devices are working(iphone, 2 notebook, nokia phone).
    I tried to delete preferences in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration, but.. nothing to do.
    The preference panel tells me "autoconfigured IP" if i set it to dhcp.
    When i use static ip configuration seems to be connected (green light on airport), but i cannot charge any page on internet.
    Curious thing about the ping utility: time of some packets are about 23000 ms, and the tranmission works randomly for 5 second, then disconnect itself.
    It's obviously a software issue, now i'm writing from the same mac using bootcamp and windows 7. I update my mac to 10.6.2, but the problem is still unsolved.
    What can i do?

    @I run a Windows 8.1 -  Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
    If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
    I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
    Ram available = 1588 MB
    Range = 873 -1143 MB
    Recommended Photoshop usage range =  857  however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
    The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

    Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins.  They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

    AirPort Utility should be here:  Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    If it is not there, you can download it from here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/#airport
    Temporarily, connect an Etherent cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the back of the Time Capsule
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click directly on the word Status (2nd line) and a window will open to explain why the Time Capsule is complaining along with suggested actions to remedy the issue

  • IMac G5 (Leopard) airport problem

    Hi, I have a problem with my airport. When I start my iMac, I can use the airport without any poblems, but when the iMac go to the suspend mode, and I aktivate the iMac again, I can't activate the airport card or sometimes the sysinfo says, that there isn't any airport card.
    A logout of the user or a reboot has no effect.
    Only after a shutdown of the whole system and restart is everything allright again.
    What can I do against this, My system is up to date.

  • Can't connect to router through airport (problem with encryption)

    We have a small office network with several computers connected to a wireless router. A while back all the macs using airport suddenly were no longer able to connect to the internet (email still worked fine) while the windows computers on wireless and macs on lan still work fine.
    The router is using WPA personal encryption, and when using this the macs can connect to the wireless network no problems, but then they aren't able to use the internet. as i said though email still works without any problems. We spoke to the tech support at our ISP but macs aren't very common in south africa, so they just suggest we change the encryption from WPA to WEP encryption. I tried both 64 bit and 128 bit but every time i get an error saying: There was an error joining airport network. If I turn off encryption though everything works fine and the macs are able to access the internet without any problems. Anybody have any ideas what might be wrong?

    I am having the same problems since 3 days ago (Imac core 2 duo 20" 2,16). I think it was after the 10.4.10 upgrade.
    I haven't tested if I can connect an open network (without encryption).
    I can't connect to internet using the wifi network... sometimes, i can't even locate the SSID's network.
    Even using windows xp with bootcamp i can't use the network, so it's really strange. This can only be firmware/hardware... cause XP on my mac was able to connect and now it can't too. I tried with other computers (notebook) and i can connect without problems.
    Have you solved this issue ?
    Anyone can help?

  • Airport Problem since 10.4.6

    Ever since 10.4.6, I have had issue with airport. It always stays connected to my wireless network.
    however, the internet will periodically stop working (happens several times a day very annoying). I have to turn off airport and turn it on again, to make internet start working again. This does not happen to my Powrbook and PC on the same network.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Sorry, this isn't a helpful reply, but I thought it might be worth pointing out that I have the same (or a very similar) problem.
    I'm running a 20 inch Intel Mac, which prior to 10.4.6 suffered from that other horrible airport problem described under the 'Airport Speed Problem' threads on this forum. That has since been resolved by 10.4.6 (network speeds are normal). However, my iMac periodically loses the wireless network when I wake it up from sleep mode (I go from four bars to no signal). To get it back I usually have to switch off my airport card, put the iMac to sleep, power cycle the modem (cable) and router then start up the iMac again, and even this cumbersome routine doesn't work all of the time. I know this isn't a problem with my network because I have several other computers in the house that don't register any change or problem with signal levels or connectivity. My iBook, for example, which also runs 10.4.6 doesn't notice any change.
    I'm surprised not to see more examples of this problem here, as when I spoke to a Mac genius about it, he said it was a 'known issue', though one more common to the Mac Minis. It has to be a hardware problem in my case. Maybe I need to get my airport express card checked out?

  • Slow wireless under windows XP bootcamp! help!

    Hello everyone,
    I bought my first Mac (MacBook Pro) less than a month ago.
    I have a problem with my wireless connection under Windows XP (Bootcamp 2.1).
    It works, but is painfully slow (500 kbps in download, 100 kbps in upload according to speakeasy test). Instead, wireless works perfectly fine in Leopard (more than 10X faster).
    My router is a Netgear WGR613VAL and other Windows computers have no problems with it.
    My wired connections are OK. I suppose it is a driver problem?
    I have read the forums and I have tried a couple of things, like installing the Broadcom drivers BCMREL_4_100_15_5WHQL and using Tweak Test + Dr TCP, without any improvement.
    I'll be grateful for any suggestion.
    Which is the best way to contact Apple about this issue? Anyone did it? Would it be useful?
    Thanks

    You are right in assuming it is a driver problem. Open the Device Manage and Right Click the hardware (network / wireless adapter) to see the date of the driver. Apple's updated drivers should in theory have the latest:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/bootcampupdate21 forwindowsxp.html
    Further bottlenecks to your connection speed would include software firewalls, antivirus, adware or viruses running in the background. I think you have already established the hardware is not an issue. When I had Tiger and BC Beta my Windows connection was slower than OS X. I upgraded to Leopard and the Airport Extreme card kicked in in XP no problem. XP cannot be the issue. Try the WIndows wireless out on any other wireless signals (friends, workplace, library). If it works great elsewhere you might want to work with your Netgear install disk a little or even switch to Airport Express.

  • Firefox in bootCamp (imac wtih ATI 2600 XT)

    Running bootcamp (windows XP) on an iMac with the ATI radeon 2600XT. Firefox looks terrible. Buttons do not appear, pull down menus are transparent, so I can often not read them (since the underlying text is visible). I am assuming this is a video card issue since at home I have nearly the saem iMAC with the 512MB Nvidia, and I do not have this problem with firefox in bootcamp. Also, early on I was having weird red text issues in firefox (which was a known problem with the ATI card, I believe, and fixed with a display properties "appearance" adjustment I think).
    obviously this is not a critical issue, but I really prefer firefox and would just like it to look good/correct. Anyone else see this and/or have a solution? thanks
    Windows XP SP3
    Firefox 3.0.5

    Thanks Kappy,
    This is true I found out.  The hardware is missing more modern 'components' which drivers cannot fix.

  • Unable to access Airport Extreme under Mac OS 10.6.7

    Strange problem. I'm able to access the Internet, but can't access my Airport Extreme using Airport Utility under Mac OS 10.6.7.

    Did you power cycle the entire network? It's always a good idea after any update.
    Try this, if you haven't already done so:
    Power everything down on the entire network, order is not important
    Wait a moment and start the modem first and let it run a moment by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Keep starting devices one at a time the same way until everything is powered back up

  • ITunes 6.0.5 and Airport Problem

    A short description of my recent problem is that iTunes 6.0.5 crashes my wireless connection when streaming music to my stereo via an Airport Express. The problem was repeatable and frequent. Reverting to iTunes 6.0.4 seems to make all the problems go away.
    Before updating my MacBook recently to 10.4.7 from 10.4.6, and updating from iTunes 6.0.4 to 6.0.5, I updated my bootable system backup on an external Firewire drive, first repairing permissions.
    After updating my MacBook, everything associated with the Airport Express seemed to function perfectly, except I had massive problems with attempting to stream music from iTunes. When first choosing in iTunes to connect to the external wireless target, music would begin playing and then my entire airport connection would dispappear within seconds. The menu bar throughput icon would go from 4 bars to nothing and my network SSID would disappear from the drop down. After toggling the airport on and off for a while, along with toggling the iTunes external/internal target control, I could eventually finagle a stable connection, which would last for maybe 15 minutes at a time. Then the connection would drop.
    I happened to be one of the early 10.4.7 upgraders who used the non-combo updater, so when Apple announced that files were missing from the delta updater, I downloaded the new version and repeated the upgrade (successfully, indicated by the suffix on the new build number). Again a perfectly stable wireless connection through the 133 MB download; wireless works fine as long as iTunes is not involved.
    The problem persisted after the 10.4.7 re-upgrade. I then tried booting from my external drive backup, into 10.4.6 and iTunes 6.0.4. The problem went away.
    I then restored iTunes 6.0.4 from my backup to my internal drive, replacing 6.0.5. So far, everything is working perfectly again, with iTunes 6.0.4 under OS 10.4.7.
    The airport problem seemed to be entirely on the MacBook side, not the Airport Express, since I never saw the Airport light change from green and the displayed connection time has stayed at x days and counting across all the times the airport connection disappeared, including when booted from the external drive.
    So based on my experience, it would appear that there is a problem with iTunes 6.0.5. Anyone else see similar behavior or, conversely, can confirm that they are successfully streaming from a configuration similar to a MacBook through an Airport Express with iTunes 6.0.5 and OS 10.4.7?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Just to bring closure to this thread, I am now successfully using iTunes 6.0.5 with OS 10.4.7: the problems I reported have disappeared.
    Contrary to my original post, with more use I saw some drop-out problems with 6.0.4, though far less severe than with 6.0.5.
    It occurred to me that maybe what I was seeing was due to the iTunes app paging, but I could find no direct evidence of that.
    It then happened that I began experiencing the random shutdown problem that some MacBook users have reported (many posts in the MacBook forum). I sent in my machine for repair.
    In the few days since I received the repaired machine back, I have had no random shutdowns. I also noticed I had no iTunes wireless dropouts with 6.0.4. I then re-upgraded to 6.0.5. No problems have surfaced. The only other software change at the system level I have made is to update the SMC firmware, which makes the machine run cooler.
    I have no explanation and speculation seems pointless. (The shutdown repair consisted of replacing the heat sink and top case; as far as I know, no involvement with airport components.) But I'm again a happy camper.

  • Airport problems on new Core 2 Duo (network attachment delays)

    I have just bought 17" 2GHz Core 2 Duo. Lovely machine, but I have some problems with internal Airport card.
    After startup it takes about 5 seconds to attach to the WiFi network I run. Subsequently, if I load iChat automatically at login, by the time Airport comes online, iChat is already displaying "Network diagnostic" dialogue. After you OK it, iChat will not try to login anymore (as opposed to temporarily losing network after successful login where it will log back in on its own.)
    Something doesn't feel right about this Airport on the iMac. After clicking Airport symbol on the top bar it takes few seconds for the menu to drop down and often accompanied with a beach ball. Ping time to a base station during these few seconds increase from 1mS to 100-200mS.
    Things I have tried:
    -Fresh reinstall of just basic OS X 10.4.7 from restore disks
    -Using two different access points (base stations) - 3Com and D-Link
    -WAP, WEP and just open network
    -limit connections to 802.11b mode only (11Mbps and lower)
    -Change WiFi channels and use interference robustness
    -Use PowerBook G4 as a base station in computer-to-computer and Internet sharing modes
    With all the above the behaviour does not change...
    I have a stock iMac model with no custom options, modifications or peripherals. Signal strength is excellent.
    My 17" PowerBook G4 in the same room boots up and wakes up into fully active Airport connection and it "just works" smoothly and transparently. So were all other WiFi connections I had here from Macs and PC over the years.
    I have been using WiFi for 4 years and have done multiple installations including industrial networks, I am also long time Mac user so I have a feeling how it should work so I know my iMac Airport just does not work right.
    I suspect it is drivers/OS issue. This is based on the fact that once established, the link works fine but as soon as OS tries to access the Airport card to reconfigure it (either at startup or prompted by the user), some hiccups and delays occur...
    I wonder if anybody can confirm this behaviour or suggest something I might try to fix this... I want iMac to use WiFi as transparently as PowerBook G4.
    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks, smacman, the bridge solution is brilliant and would work perfectly from technical point of view, however, I am trying to showcase the "Apple experience" to some other people and at the moment I am not winning.
    I am good enough to write shell scripts or even fix low-level source code in C or ASM but I don't want to waste my time fixing it...
    I had a quick look and the problem seems to be with iMac's Airport being very slow during existing networks scan which REQUIRES dropping current connection as channels and modulation changes during the scan. I have locked my router to work in 802.11b mode only. If I could do the same with the Airport on iMac I am sure it would have helped a lot as no 11g or 11a networks were scanned and queried. Forcing it to connect to a specific network did not help. I can't find any file with low-level hardware settings for the Airport, otherwise I'd have a go at it. Maybe I should search Darwin community's help but most probably Apple only releases compiled binary for WiFi drivers with no access to source code or settings.
    One other thought - 802.11 has a different frequency spectrum certifications in different countries and in certain areas allowed frequency range is limited. Maybe, forcing locale to e.g. France (where certified channels are only 1-7) can speed up things...
    I have tried WPA2 encryption as well but I believe the problem is occurring during the network scan.

    Depends which iMac exactly and your network setup, you can go into System Preferences and under the Sharing pane you can enable internet sharing from ethernet (or whereever you get your internet from) to Wi-Fi.

    I use the imac mainly for editing Video which when doing so it has reached temperatures of near to 60° C which causes the program to become unstable and needs to be cooled down to operate correctly.
    An Apple technician (by phone) advised me to download an smcfancontrol.  This allows each individual fan to increase speed and also advises the current temperature at °C.  The smcfancontrol has been downloaded but this has not resolved the problem.  By increasing the speed of the fan more heat is generated and creates additional noise. 
    I have since taken the iMac to an Apple Store for examination as suggested by APPLECARE when the fans were found to be working correctly.  An Apple Store technician carried out a test, but not whilst working under the pressure of FINAL CUT PRO when the iMac generates a high temperature.
    The Temperature Specification  for this model is
    Operating Temperature 20 °c to 35°C

    Clearly the temperature my iMac  is operating at is excessive and could cause the computer to break down prematurely.  Has anyone experienced this problem.

    When was the last time you cleaned/vacuumed out all of your iMac's vents, slots and ports.
    You need to do this with the iMac powered down, disconnected from power and everything disconnected.
    Lay your iMac, screen down, on a soft surface, like a heavy towel. Use a small electronics vac, or portable or full size vac with hose and a crevice tool attachment and carefully and slowly vacuum every vent, slot and port on your iMac.
    Then reconnect everything up, power up and download and install iStat Pro. Start working, then report the temps of your iMac after this has been done.
    When using SMCFan Control, it is important not to run the fans at too high an RPM. This doesn't generate heat on its own, but will suck in more dust, lint and dirt into your iMac, and that will be the cause of additonal increases in heat.
    I run my fans in the range of 1400-1600 RPMs. You can go as high as 1800 RPMs but it is important to keep the RPM range below either 1800 or below 2000 RPMs.
    I, also, run a very small desktop fan pointed toward the upper back of my iMac to keep temps down even further.
