Can I create a home network withous dsl connection with airport express

can I create a home network without dsl connection with airport express?
So it means I can't connect to my HP Airprint/Wireless printer without exretnal connection through ISP?? Just need to print from my Mac and iphone. I have Vodafone Prepaid connection, which is directly connected to my Mac. Does that make an internal network possible?

You have to set up the Air Port with an internet connection to set up a network. Do you have a modem? If yes you can set up the network.

Connect to Win (wired) network from MacBook connecting via AirPort Express

Hi,
I have a MacBook (OS 10.4.10) that I was connecting to my Windows network via a Linksys WRK54G Wireless router (configured as a WAP), which in turn was connected to a Netgear FVS318 VPN Firewall Router. The FVS318 connects to my cable modem and 2 Windows XP Pro PCs. The Linksys WRK54G has been flaking out, so I replaced it with an Airport Express. My MacBook and a Windows XP Pro laptop are both able to connect to the internet via the airport express, and they are both able to ping the IP addresses of my (wired network connected) Win XP Pro PCs. However, the PCs no longer show up under "Network" on the MacBook, nor can I connect to the shared directories on the (wired) Windows PCs from the Win XP Pro laptop (via Start Menu => Run => enter IP address). I have not found any answers so far either using Google or Apple Support website. Surely this is possible -- what am I missing? Thanks.

Hello sborisch. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
If I understand your network configuration, you just need to configure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge...
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), make these settings:
Network tab
o Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
o Apply the new setting.

Itunes 10.4 and Lion 10.7 create remote speakers not to keep connection using Airport Express

MACBOOK with 10.5.8, then 10.6.8 and today 10.7...Lion
There is a major problem regarding the connection to remote speekers with Itunes 10.4 and Airport Express using LION OS X. This is a problem I never encountered before, nor with 10.5.8 or 10.6.8.
Please correct that problem.

Hi,
At you question : Lynksys 160-wr ore something....
This is something above my capabilities.
The way that tab is configured is AUTOMATIC.
Trying to do it manually require IP for rouer, and I dont't know how to get it, even if I perfectly know what an IP address is.
It is also required to enter IPV6 address, and there to I am lost.
Lastly there is the last tab, amaller bar that I don't know.
May be explain in what way, having this manually entered is different that automatic would make me understand correctly. Then, may be indicate how to get these info to fill in.
But, I can say that I am now using APPLE TV-2, and that the first Lion 10.7 patch seems to have solved this.

Can't get the Toslink (Optical) out to work with Airport Express

I have the monster cable hooked up but get no optical out. I hooked up the mini plug to RCA and that works but the optical doesn't. Is there a setting I'm missing. I know the cable is working because I hooked it up to my mini computer and get the red light coming out the end. I don't get any light from the airport expess mini plug to Toslink.

Same problem here. Just bought an optical cable with the mini toslink connector (to work with the express and computers). I can get audio if I connect the cable to my computer, but no audio from the express. Regular analog audio comes out fine, but I cannot get the optical to work.
I can't find any preference or setting to change and have tried resetting the base station. Anyone have an idea?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

please advice!
i am using the 802.11n (2nd generation)

I have already tried this but still the same. I have also tried un-pairing my speakers and re-pairing! Still get broken playback at times. This even happens when I am close to the bluetooth receiver.

Can't find my home network

Greetings,
I have tried searching this forum and the Apple support pages, and can't find a solution. My new iPod Touch can't find my home network. I have an AirPort Extreme base station and am using WPA/WPA2 Personal security. My MacBook Pro has no problem finding my network, and works flawlessly. My iPod Touch, on the other hand, can not. Even though my home network is not a closed network, I still tried entering the network name and password manually, and it still doesn't see it. I tried turning security off completely in my Base Station>AirPort>Wireless settings, and that didn't help, either. My iPod Touch does see one or two other networks in my neighborhood, but not mine.
For the record, I am sitting less than two feet away from my AirPort Extreme base station, so I'm definitely within range, my iPod Touch can see other networks, so it would seem that it's antenna is not at fault, and my MacBook Pro sees and connects to my network without any problems, so it would seem my AirPort Extreme is set up properly. So what am I doing wrong?
Any thoughts?

Thanks Scott, that did it. Within range of everything is a wireless security camera that was creating an interference issue with my MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme, and the only solution, other than disabling the camera, was to switch from 2.4 GHz to 5.0 GHz under Base Station>AirPort>Wireless>Radio Mode, which eliminated b/g compatible. At the time, that was fine because my MacBook Pro was n compatible. I see now that my iPod Touch is not. I tried switching back to b/g compatible, and the iPod Touch found my network right away, but the MacBook Pro lost it.
Can't win for losing.
The security camera has now been disabled, and both the iPod Touch and the MacBook Pro can access my network. I just won't be able to film the guy who tries to steal them.

Can't create a wireless network without a wireless card on my Mac

Help!
O.k. I tried searching the forums for an answer but the odd nature of my problem, and the immense database of topics made it very difficult to find a similar post.
The general issue/idea:
Run a wireless network using Airport Extreme - Connect desktop mac via ethernet and Roku player via wi-fi. Can't get the desktop mac to connect via ethernet when I restart the network/Airport Extreme.
My Father in law has my old computer; It's a PowerMac G5 (Dual 1.8GHz CPUs) running OS 10.5.8), connected to internet via cable (TimeWarner) modem. It does NOT have an Airport or Airport Extreme card installed. The computer works fine, and I don't believe that I 'need' an Airport Card in order to use the Airport Extreme (it's a brand new/refurbished model) in the manner described below.
I would like to use the Airport Extreme to generate/run a wireless network (Do I need an Airport Card in order to generate/run a wireless network? Doesn't the AE actually do that?), connect the desktop Mac to the network via Ethernet (I shouldn't need an Airport Card to do that, should I?) and connect a 'Roku Player (802.11g capable) to the network via wi-fi.
As far as I know, this should be possible.
Basic steps/as I understand them:
A. Connect ethernet from cable modem to AE.
B. Connect ethernet from AE to desktop Mac.
C. Create the wireless network using desktop Mac and Airport Utility.
D. Restart AE to start the wireless network running.
E. Connect Roku to wireless network over wi-fi.
I have no problems with A & B. Once the AE is connected to the desktop Mac, I'm able to get internet via ethernet as it passes through the AE. I can then create a wireless network (step C.) using the Airport Utility (and setup assistant). The problem starts after I've configured the wireless network.
Once I've configured the wireless network, the Airport Utility software prompts me to restart the AE in order to start the wireless network.
As soon as I restart the AE, my desktop Mac tries to connect to the 'wireless' network, even though it's already connected via ethernet. I don't have a wireless card in the Mac, and I don't want to connect the desktop using wi-fi/wireless. It's connected via ethernet, works fine during configuration, and I don't ever anticipate a desire to connect the desktop via wi-fi.
No matter what I do, I can't get the desktop to connect via ethernet. The only network connection option I'm offered is 'Rescan'. O.k. the desktop can't find the wireless network (because it doesn't have a wireless card), and I'm unable to continue with the Airport Utility. I can't make any further changes to the network (the options to manually change the network configuration are not available as the desktop Mac cannot currently talk to the AE - It's still trying to connect wirelessly), and the desktop has no internet connection as it's trying to connect wirelessly.
*How can I...*
*Setup/run a wireless network, while keeping the desktop Mac connected via ethernet?*
I'm perfectly willing to factory reset the AE and start over.
Any help appreciated.
Thwarted by the network.

My Father in law has my old computer; It's a PowerMac G5 (Dual 1.8GHz CPUs) running OS 10.5.8), connected to internet via cable (TimeWarner) modem.

The computer works fine, and I don't believe that I 'need' an Airport Card in order to use the Airport Extreme (it's a brand new/refurbished model) in the manner described below.
That is correct, you could connect the PowerMac G5, via Ethernet, to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or any other wired router for Internet access. You do NOT need an AirPort Card for wired access ... ONLY if you want the G5 to connect to a wireless network.
I would like to use the Airport Extreme to generate/run a wireless network (Do I need an Airport Card in order to generate/run a wireless network? Doesn't the AE actually do that?)
That is correct, the AEBS is a wireless router that can provide a wireless network. The AirPort Card, on the other hand is a wireless adapter used to allow a Mac to connect to a wireless network, created by any wireless router ... not just those provided by Apple.
As far as I know, this should be possible.
Basic steps/as I understand them:
A. Connect ethernet from cable modem to AE.
B. Connect ethernet from AE to desktop Mac.
C. Create the wireless network using desktop Mac and Airport Utility.
D. Restart AE to start the wireless network running.
E. Connect Roku to wireless network over wi-fi.
Yes, these are all good assumptions.
As soon as I restart the AE, my desktop Mac tries to connect to the 'wireless' network, even though it's already connected via ethernet. I don't have a wireless card in the Mac, and I don't want to connect the desktop using wi-fi/wireless.
Do you actually have an AirPort Card installed in the G5 now? If so, then it might be possible that the "firing order" for network connectivity has AirPort at the top of the list under System Preferences > Network. Just change the order to have Ethernet at the top and disable AirPort to ensure that the G5 connects by Ethernet only.

How can I create a wifi network

How can I create a wireless network in my office for my itouch?

I am in an office Windows environment with a G3 Mac that is connected to the internet via the Ethernet port. I can get to the internet with my Mac through a Proxy server. I have tried to setup up Airport to get through the firewall without any success. Is it possible to create a wireless network for my itouch if I install an Airport card in the Mac, start Internet Sharing and install Airport Express? I have no experience with the Internet Sharing options in OSX. I am assuming that my Mac with an Airport card would pass the internet connection to Airport Express. Airport Express would then create a wireless network for my itouch to connect to the internet. Any advice is appreciated as I would really like to get to the internet with my itouch.

You don't need the AirPort Express to do this.
You can set your Mac to share it's wired connection over the wireless port and the iTouch can connect directly to the Mac.
You could also do it with the AirPort Express, but you don't need to - it's overkill for what you've described.

Can't create portable home directory

I recently changed a user's login in Active Directory (she changed her last name.) I changed her local home folder on her Mac to her new login, ran chown on the folder to update her home directory ownership to the new login name and everything was fine. She could log in and access her account using her new login. However, she now gets the message "Can't create portable home directory" when logging in. Nobody else on the machine gets that message. I understand what it's telling me, but I don't know where to look to fix it.

see how many occurrences her shortname has in netinfo and delete the second one. There is a conflict on the local machine w/ her userid and shortname or try removing the first acct and let it rebuild her new user acct on the local machine.

Iphone osi 8.0 upgraded. Now I can't find my home network. Help!

Just upgraded my iPhone to psi 8.0. Am able to find and stay connected to public wifi. Originally was able to find my home wifi. Now I'm not connected nor can I find my home network. I have tried reset via the phone, reboot of phone and reboot of router.

Thanks 11142007. I had actually tried what you suggested. But, it was only after I rebooted the router a second time that I was able to connect and, hopefully, stay connected. The key on the second router reboot was waiting at least 15 seconds to power it back up. I didn't do that the first time.

Can't restore network connectivity to Airport Express

I have both a wired network, and a wireless network at home. The wired network is provided by a DSL model connected to an EtherFast Cable/DSL router. The wireless network is provided by an Airport Express that is plugged into the the router.
A while back there was a software update for the Airport. After installing the update, I lost my wireless network, and I have been trying to restore it.
I performed a factory reset on the Airport Express. This allows me to see it when I run Airport Utility on my Power Mac system, which is connected to the wired network.
The router is set so that I specify IP addresses for each of my system rather than using something like DHCP. I tried messing around with the setup for the Airport Express, and nothing I tried would get it to work after it Airport Utility updated the base station and restarted it. I was finally able to make some headway with this by manually assigning the base station and IP address, and having it create a wireless network.
After resetting the base station, it came up, and now has a solid green light. I was able to join my iBook to the network it created. However the iBook cannot access the Internet nor any of the other systems on my wired network.
The base station shows up when I run Airport Utility from the iBook. Airport Utility from the Power Mac can no longer find it.
What can I try that will allow me to restore network connectivity to my wireless network?

If it's an older 802.11b/g router you can't use the AirPort Utility on iPhone to configure it. Use the AirPort utility for Mac or Windows. You have many more configuration options using the desktop software as well. The utility on the iPhone is very basic.

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

I have tryed to connect an AirPort Express to my wireless network. But I alwais get the errocode -4. Can anybody help. I have reset the AirPort Express and updated the software.

The ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1, as you know, is a combination DSL modem & 802.11n wireless router (or gateway device).
For your goal you will want to take a look at this Apple Support article for details on how to configure an AX for iTunes.
If you are still having difficulties with the AX joining the ZyXEL's wireless network, you can try the following:
Temporarily disable wireless encryption.
If you are hidding the SSID, disable that feature.
Change the Mode Select setting to: 802.11g Only
Change the Channel Selection from "Auto" to a set channel, like 1, 6, or 11
