Airport & Webstar DPC2100 config advice needed!

Recently moved into a new house with cable internet & television from Virgin Media.
I'm having some trouble setting up Airport Express with the modem we have. The modem has both USB & Ethernet ports which the manual instructs can be used at the same time.
To start with I did a hard reset of Airport and waited to see if a DHCP connection would work. No joy so I set up a manual connection using the information I could find from the Modem's page at 192.168.100.1
Currently the Airpor is set up as follows:
TCP/IP - manually
IP: 192.168.100.5
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.100.1
DNS: 10.226.112.144 (the cable modem's IP address according to it's status page. Leaving the DNS field blank yields the same result, I tried this to see if it worked - it didn't)
Airport's light is glowing green, and I can connect to the network fine, but there's no access through Safari/Firefox/Mail/Thunderbird/MSN Messenger or any other network app I care to try.
Safe to say, I'm stumped and I'd love any advice anyone has.
Thanks in advance!

The modem has both USB & Ethernet ports which the manual instructs can be used at the same time.
The AirPort Express (AX) must be connected to that devices Ethernet port. You can not connect to the Internet using the AX's USB port.

I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link-601 tech 802.11n. My emac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?

You need the Airport card OR Airport Express but not both. Considering the age of your machine, I recommend Airport Express as you will find other uses for it whenever you replace the eMac.
To set up the AE, you do need OSX 10.4 or higher.

I have a BT HomeHub 5 and internet on my Mac mini airport is slow. do I need a wireless add-on or booster?

I have BT Home Hub 5 but the wireless reception for my MacMini is slow. It is in a separate room. Is there an Apple wireless booster or should I have Airport Extreme?

First you need to determine what, if anything, is the problem. The Apple Apps store lists a number of Wifi network ananlyzer tools for little or no cost. WiFi Explorer provides a great deal of information including maximum data rate, band width, signal strength and signal to noise ratio. These four numbers provide the essential information about your WiFi network and the signal reaching your computer. You will also see if there are any other networks in your vicinity that are competing on the same network bands. Another factor is the speed of the internet reaching your location. There are any number of online services that will give you those numbers with a reasonable degree of accuracy. I generally use the speed test on WhatIsMyIP for no other reason than the URL is easy to remember. It is also important to check with your ISP to find out what network speed you are paying for.
So once you know what speed you are paying for and what speed you are receiving then you are becoming equipped to figure out what, if anything, is your speed problem. Get some data and report it back here and some user will be glad to help you maximize what you got. Hopefully without spending much, or hopefully any, money.

WRV200 + WebSTAR DPC2100 = Internet Connection lost?

I have a Linksys WRV200 with firmware 1.0.38 (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9930/index.html)
The router is set to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP" to get ISP IP.
I also have a WebSTAR DPC2100 cable modem with an argentinian ISP called Fibertel (http://fibertel.com.ar/).
More information about my modem:
Tx: 41.7 dBmV
Freq Tx: 28600 MHz
Rx: -5.5 dBmV
Freq Rx: 567000 MHz
MER: 36.8 dB
Equipo: WebSTAR DPC2100 Series Cable Modem
Descripción: S-A WebSTAR DPC2100 Series DOCSIS Cable Modem Ethernet+USB <>
Versión OS: "v2.0.2r1244-050506-CVA2"
I have computers connected to my router:
2 computers with Intel WLAN and LAN cards
1 computers with Broadcom WLAN and LAN cards
So, my problems is this...
I'm trying to download a 1.5 GB file from MSDN Academic Alliance Software Center (http://www.e-academy.com/).
When I start the download, after more less an hour of download: the conection stops.
No more download.
No more Internet on any computer connected.
Also, the router shows no IP address from my ISP.
To get back my Internet connection, I have to unplug from the power the modem and the router. Plug them back... and everything back to normal.
But, I don't have this problem when I'm only browsing the Internet.
So, this only happends when I'm downloading... from one peer (as the example) or from multiple peers (P2P).
This happens no matter I'm using WLAN or LAN conection.
Also, this doesn't happend if I connect a LAN cable directly to the modem.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected via ethernet all the time?

Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected to the router with an ethernet cable all the time?

AirPort Setup....the configuration utility in Mountain Lion...will look at the connection and configure the Express accordingly.
If you have an Ethernet cable connected during the setup, then you will need to leave the Ethernet cable connected after the setup.
If you want the Express to connect using wireless only....then you must configure it using wireless only.

How to extend the range with a second Airport Express? Do I need a DSL cable?

How to extend the range with a second Airport Express? Do I need a DSL cable?

Thanks, now we need a bit more information, please, in order to provide you with the correct information that you need.
I assume that you already have one AirPort Express.....either a model A1264 or A1392.....set up and operating OK, is that correct?
If yes, you can extend the network either by using wireless or an Ethernet cable with a second AirPort Express.....either the A1264 or A1392 model. A wired connection is the way to go, if possible, since it provides better performance. But, wireless might work OK for you if you want to try that.
Let us know "how" you want to extend......wireless or wired?

Mifi devices are usually quite small. Think Credit Card size, and maybe slightly thicker. So not really a big device you need to carry around.
In any case if you are still within the 14 day return period you may be able to return it to an Apple retail store. It needs to be an Apple Owned store, not sure Authorized Resellers will let you do it.
Other than that, bob points out, you may want to try to use the iPhone as a hotspot for the iPad. If your Carrier supports it. Like the Mifi device, the iPhone will share its cellular internet connection out to other devices over a Wireless network the iPad can use.

Advice needed on buying iphone as gift

I went to apple store, they do not want to sell iphone to me unless I sign AT&T 2 years plan. I thought AT&T has locked the phone and users must subscribe in order to use it. Why Apple store still not allow me to buy?
Please advice, if I want to buy online iphone for my brother, do I or my brother have obligation to sign out AT&T plan?
One more advice needed, I found the shipment takes weeks, do I have option to arrange for self-collection?
My brother birthday is coming soon, I need above advice urgently.
Thank you very much

I'm guessing English is not your first language. It's possible that you misunderstood them. Apple Store employees won't refuse to sell you an iPhone and you don't have to sign up for service in the store.
Well that's not entirely true.
Apple Stores have been instructed not to sell you an iPhone if any of the following is true:
You state that you will not be signing up with AT&T.
You do not have an ID from a US state, also indicating you will not be activating with AT&T
You do not have a credit card
For example, I've seen US Apple Store managers refuse to sell iPhones to European residents because of the AT&T lock-in.

Video intensive work on Mac Pro? Advice Needed

Hi everyone,
I've been originally saving up for a while now for an iMac 24" as it offers the best specification price wise. But now I leaning on the Mac Pro and therefore need some advice.
I know that there are alot of posts on advice - need to buy mac etc. so therfore I would really appreciate if I am afforded some help.
I am mostly going to do ALOT of video encoding (via handbrake) and I am looking for the best configuration available to achieve lowest waiting time.

I think you should go back and look at the other threads with advice, your budget. There is "ideal" and "affordable."
Will it pay for itself in 24 months so you can afford the next revision at that time?
Start with an 8-Core 3GHz.
Add a Port Multiplier controller and two drive cases, 5 drives each, nearly 400MB/sec RAID.
Throw in 8GB RAM.
Add in costs for software upgrades, two sets of backups, four internal 500GB drives.
Seagate has 750GB, as does WD. Hitachi has their $450 1000GB monster.
Give yourself time to build, test, and optimize your setup, and expect to change it over time as you learn more.
Can't afford that? then trim the 8-core. But Apple has shown how efficient next generation applications already are for video when it comes to 3GHz 8-core Mac Pro.

I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4

I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4

The odds are that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which will only work with Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.
Since your post indicates that you are using Lion 10.7.4, you need the correct utility for Lion. The link is below:

Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them. Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport). What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them. Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport). What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

First thing to try is reset Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Next would be reset the router (power off 15 secs then back on). And, 2 minutes later, reset the printers 1 by 1.

If I have a normal printer plus an airport express device, do I need a wifi router as well?

Thanks LexSchellings
Eventhough if i connect it with the USB cable, but then i still need a wifi router to connect between Ipad and printer, am I right?

Had to have a rebuild of my laptop....advice needed!

Had to have a rebuild of my laptop....have now lost all my music from my itunes, but I can't transfer back on from my ipod. Also had to register my laptop (same) as another computers, so now no music showing as purchased, though I have. Also have hours of uploaded music from my own purchased, legitimate CDs, but won't transfer from ipod...it says it will erase. So very frustrated....thanks mr technician! PLEASE ....help, advice needed!

I believe that if you do a clean reinstall from your HD's recovery sector (D) or Recovery disks, the hard drive sector C is wiped clean. Everything goes, apps, data, address books, music, pix, viruses
Is that what you did?

Hi
That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
Hope that helps
Paul
PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work
