Can connect to internet when plugged directly into linksys cable modem but

I have an Airport Extreme router, am running Windows Xp, and can connect to the internet when I plug my laptop directly into my linksys cable modem. I can also connect to the internet when I plug directly into the airport extreme via cat 5 cable. However, when I try to connect wirelessly via airport extreme, I cannot get on the internet, even though it shows I have excellent signal strength on the laptop, have a solid green light on the airport, and all lights look right on the cable modem. It says something about error -6753. This is what I am doing now; I am connected to the airport via cat 5 cable, and am downloading all software / firmware updates for the airport, do you think this will fix my problem? How do I diagnose if my problem is with the wireless settings on the laptop, or with the airport? thanks, this is extremely aggravating.

Welcome to the discussions forums airporteggstreme.
I found a couple of posts that may be relevant. They point to the fact that your PC may be looking for a different address when it's connected wirelessly versus its wired connection. I believe you'll solve the problem by making sure both your Airport and your PC are configured to get their IP addresses via DHCP. If all else fails "hard reset" your Airport, unplug your PC's Ethernet cable and set it up wirelessly. That should work.
Here's the link: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/228336.html
It refers to an Express but the Extreme will be similar. If you scroll way down you'll find the following:
In order to configure the Airport Express you not only need to connect to it as the access point but *also need to treat it as a DHCP server.*
If you connect the the AE as a base station but do not have "Obtain IP address automatically" in your network settings you will receive error code -6753. I racked my brain on that for a while after doing a number of hard resets. Once I went into my PC's network settings and removed the manual IP address I had set there (192.168.15.104) and set for automatic ip address retrieval I was able to configure the AE using the admin utility.
Once you have finished configuring the base station and set it to join your existing network, you can change your PC's IP back to whatever you need for your own purposes.

  • My internet works fine with my wired cable modem, but when i connect to my extreme base station and setup my wireless network the internet no longer works and my apple tv by default

    my cable modem works fine, but when I hook it up to my extreme base station and run through the prompts and set up my wireless network it doesnt work and neither does my apple tv by default. I am unsure how to correct this problem. It will come up saying that I dont have an IP address when I have it set to DCHP so I dont know what the problem is.

    Push the reset button on the modem and power the modem off
    Power off everything else....all devices....order is not important
    Wait 15-20 minutes or longer
    Connect the Ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Power up the modem and let it run for 5 minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 5 minutes
    Power up each other device one at a time a few minutes apart
    Check the network

  • Buffalo Linkstation is not recognized when plugged directly into mac

    I recently received a Buffalo Linkstation and tried setting it up, when i got it all up and running, the lights come on, but it won't connect to my mac, it's connected via ethernet cable
    I do not have it plugged into a router and don't want to go get one, I have two wireless routers, but when i first used one for both the internet and the linkstation, it was too slow, and when i tried using one for the internet and one for the linkstation, they interfere with each other and defeat the purpose.
    I just want it to go from the hard drive to the mac, then when i get it all set up, i'll add a printer
    I know this defeats the purpose of the networking capability and that i should just go get an external hard drive, but I did have one and it stopped working, so i sent it in and got this.
    Any help whatsoever would be appreciated

    I've never seen one of these puppies but your question
    was intriguing so I looked at Bufflalo Technology's web
    site. They claim to have a built-in ftp server, and that
    sounds like how you're gonna connect. The first thing to
    do is figure out the linkstation's ip address. Hopefully the
    default will be listed in the manual, or maybe you set it
    in the setup process. Otherwise, you've got to search
    your network for port 21. If it gets its ip address via DHCP,
    you need a DHCP server in the mix. I bet your wireless
    router has one, and you could use it to get you going.
    Once you have the ip address, you can mount the device
    in the Finder using Command-K and entering
    ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address.
    Good luck!

  • HT1586 Can the Apple TV 3rd generation be played through a Danon receiver or is the only option to plug directly into the tv?

    Can the Apple TV 3rd generation be played through a Danon receiver or is the only option to plug directly into the tv?

    AppleTV has no analogue connections.
    It has HDMI which can go to your TV or in theory to an AV receiver equipped with HDMI inputs.
    Some HDMI amps/receivers and HDMI switches can cause glitches with AppleTV but it really depends on the particular device.
    AppleTV also has optical out, so if you only wanted a connection for Dolby Digital or stereo feeds from the AppleTV you could connect AppleTV to teh TV via HDMI and also run optical to the amp.
    Audio is output over HDMI and optical simultaneously.

  • I keep getting message that not connected to Internet when trying to access an so site such as amazon, when I can still access other areas of Internet such as banking

    Why do I keep getting message that not connected to Internet when trying to access amazon yet am very obviously am still connected as can access the apple site or banking sites. Have tried resetting.

    I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

  • How can i prioritize PBX over Router? (PBX and Router plug directly into Modem)

    Hello everyone,
    I work for a small ISP and i just got hired here a couple months ago. I've been tasked to figure out a solution to this problem. We have customers that have a network, and they also have a phone system. Both devices (router and PBX box) have a static IP address and plug directly into the modem. The issue we see is that the internal network is hogging the bandwidth and this kills the phone systems quality. What i tried was putting a 2960 in between the modem and router/PBX system. Then rate limiting the port to the internal network but it doesn't work out so well. I have it set to use 8mb/800bk. Which should dedicate 2mb/200kb for their phone system at all times. But when i do speed tests i get 2mb down and 200kb up. My download speeds are not right, yet when i do a "no mls qos" the download goes to the 8mb i have set, but then my upload doesnt work correctly. Does anyone have an idea to fix this? Or any better ideas?

    Heres an update, even with the Router plugged into fa0/1 with the following config, it still only gets 2.5mb down. Ideas? Could it be because the ports on 10mb?

  • Can't use internet when I'm not connected to Wi-Fi

    I can't use 4g even when my phone tell me that I'm connected. So I can't use internet when I'm not at home. I never had that problem with my Lumia 925 just with my 930 and it's frustrating that I can't find any information on why.

    What did your carrier say about this?
    Where are you and your carrier is who?
    Did you make any changes to the accesspoint settings?
    Has it ever worked?
    If it ever worked, what changed?
    Are you on you own network or happen to be roaming?

  • Is there a USB hub that works as well as plugging directly into Mac?

    Some items don't seem to work as well when they are plugged into my "entrega machub 4U" as when they are plugged directly into my Mac Pro (i.e. my Logitech Web cam). Given the low number of USB ports on my Mac, I need a hub that can handle my accessories. Can anyone recommend a brand that works as well as plugging directly into the Mac?
    Thanks for any help.

  • I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

    I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

    The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
    The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
    Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
    WDS network
    If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
    The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
    At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.

  • I'm finally moving my photos from my PC to my MacBook Pro.  I have 8 years worth of photos organized into very specific albums.  Can I import the album structure directly into iPhoto or am I going to have to recreate everything in iPhoto?

    I'm finally moving my photos from my PC to my MacBook Pro.  I have 8 years worth of photos organized into very specific albums.  Can I import the album structure directly into iPhoto or am I going to have to recreate everything in iPhoto?

    If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
    Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
    You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
    However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
    If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.
