Can Mail remember SMTP with am airport network?

I,
I have searched these forums to no avail...
I seem to remember that MAil is suposed to be able to remember your outgoing SMTP server
along with the Airport network.
Can't find a setting in mail for this. IS it there somewhere?
I, like many hop between airport networks ,and it would be great to have mail remember and know
which SMTP server to use on a specific airport network.
TIA and regards

Mail has no way of knowing how you are connected. You would need to create new accounts mail; the POP details can't be duplicated from an existing account, so just enter garbage but add the new SMTP details. Go into 'Advanced' and uncheck 'include when automatically checking for new mail' (or you will get lots of error messages).
Now when you answer or create a message you will have the option to choose a different account for a different SMPT server.

  • Can I use my built in airport network to sync to my apple tv?

    I have an ibook. And Create a network with airport in the menu bar. But the apple tv doesn't show this network. I do not have a base station and i do not have the internet. But I have no touble finding the my ibook network with my imac.
    The question is:
    Can I use my built in airport in my mac to connect wireless to my apple tv?
    ibook intel   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Well, I'm just using my Mac Mini's ariport to create a network between it and my AppleTV. No Airport Extreme base station or anything.
    The reason his setup may not work is because he said he also has no internet... and the AppleTV needs an internet connection to function.
    My biggest problem was: When I first tried my network, I wasn't able to get it to work unless I turned off my firewall entirely. (I had 'unblocked' all the required ports, but apparently the firewall would really only 'unblock' either the Internet OR the Ethernet, but not both for some reason (according to Mac Tech Support)... and since Internet sharing was required to get my AppleTV to the interet - no love.)
    But now, for some reason, (maybe one of those recent OSX updates...) my network seems to work fine with my Firewall running (proper ports 'checked'), so I'm not complaining, and haven't had to invest in an Airport Extreme yet - which is nice, since my Airport signal is full strength coming from the Mini.

  • Can't connect Windows computers to Airport Network/Base Station

    I'm looking for some help with my Airport Extreme. I presently have it set up and working on my MAC. I can connect to the internet with no problem. But when I have tried to allow 2 family members to connect their windows computers to the internet (I give them the WPA2 key, etc...) using our wireless network they are unable to do so. Their computers detect our wireless network but when they type in the key it gets stuck "acquiring the network address". Any ideas what's happening? I greatly appreciate your help.

    I suggest using the following instructions to re-check your AirPort Extreme Card/Antenna cable installation in your G4 iMac just to be sure nothing was missed: iMac (17-inch 1GHz) and iMac (USB 2.0): Customer-Installable Parts Instructions
    Also, check that the antenna cable is firmly attached per this Apple Article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108039
    I have the base station connected to a pc so I can't download iStumbler.
    For the PC, you can use NetStumbler instead.
    I'm not sure how to check if a signal is being sent through Airport utility.
    Instead of the AirPort Utility, you can use the Internet Connection utility to verify signal strength of your base station. To access this utility, just right-click the AirPort status icon in the menu bar, and then, select it from the drop-down menu.

  • Can't Add a Password to Airport Network

    With old PowerBook, password caused problems. With New MacBook, I want to add a password, but can't.
    System Prefs > Network > Airport > Advanced > dbl-click on network name, set security to WPA 2 Personal, Click OK, click Apply, job done. Log out, log in, the Airport network is joined automatically, no password asked for, no padlock next to network name.
    Go back to Network prefs, Security is back to 'None'.
    Anyone know what's going on?

    It is when you do it right.
    Wireless security is implemented in the router, not the computer. The computer just logs in to the wireless network.

  • * Share One Cable Modem with 2 Airport Networks ??? *

    I'd like to have my one Motorola cable modem shared with an Airport Extreme G base station and an Airport N base station on 2 seperate Airport networks (G and N). Is this possible?
    If not, if anybody has any ideas for a workaround, that would be great.
    - thanks in advance.
    Ted.

    Yes.
    Just connect the cable modem to the WAN port of the first AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    Then connect the WAN port of the 2nd AEBS to the LAN port of the first AEBS.
    Configure the 2nd AEBS so that it is acting as a bridge (not distributing IP addresses).
    You can find reference to this setup in threads describing a "dual-band" network. Also Apple's documentation describes this setup.

  • Help!! Can I do this with the Airport?!

    Hi,
    I have my Airport express set up with my wireless router so I can use it with iTunes wireless speakers. Is it possible to plug a machine into the ethernet port on the airport express to allow it join my home network?
    Or can the ethernet port on the airport express only be used as a router?
    Thanks for your help,
    John

    I have my Airport express set up with my wireless router so I can use it with iTunes wireless speakers. Is it possible to plug a machine into the ethernet port on the airport express to allow it join my home network?
    Yes, but only if the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is set up as a Remote Base Station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). For that to work the wireless router that you connect the AX to must be either another AirPort base station or a DD-WRT compliant one.

  • IPhone can't access internet via home Airport network

    Hello,
    a work colleague of mine has an iMac at home with a single Airport Express unit through which he plays music. He connects his iMac to the internet via an ethernet cable. He has just purchased an iPhone with an Orange contract. His son also has an iPhone through his employer.
    Neither my colleague nor his son can access the internet with their iPhones via my colleague's home Airport network. Both iPhones recognise the Airport network, evidenced by the 'fan' icon that appears on their iPhones.
    (Hope the above makes sense.)
    I have emailed my colleague several 'help' articles, including those put out by Apple. My colleague has also communicated with someone from Apple (AppleCare I think?) but the problem persists.
    Both iPhones apparently perform okay apart from this one irritating instance. Can anyone suggest what is wrong?
    Many thanks,
    Bob.

    If it's an N Airport, I have heard that iPhones don't play well with N routers even if they are backward compatible with G.
    Otherwise, they could try going into Settings/Wifi. See if the network shows up. Try clicking on it and see if it connects.
    If that doesn't work click on the little arrow on the right side next to the network. This will reveal the network settings. Make sure that it's set on DHCP if that is how they acquire an IP address or static if that's what they use. If it's static, you'll have to put in the settings.

  • Can the Ipad2 work with any cellular network?..Celtel Tanzania?

    The Ipad2+wiFi+3g from the Apple store are configured for AT&T or Verizon...If I buy this on line for the store, can I then reconfigure for any celluar network or does that men its locked and tied to these networks only?...I need to use it in the US, UK, Europe, Tanzania and Kenya.

    The iPad 2 is not locked to any carrier.  In the US, you can buy an iPad with an AT&T sim card, or a Verizon model without a sim card.  The AT&T model can be used with any GSM carrier's 3G micro sim.  The Verizon can only be used on a CDMA network.

  • Airport in Lion can't remember my preferred (and only) network.

    I have one WiFi network set up in my house. My old iMac G5 ALS running Mac OS 10.5.8 Leopard had no problem remembering this network; why can't Mac OS 10.7.5 Lion? Is it because the G5 connected via 11b/g and the Intel iMac uses 11n?

    Closed - fixed.

  • HT4623 I just updated my iphone 5 to the latest update: 6.1.2  After update was complete, I can no longer connect with my local network, apps no longer are transfered to my phone.  I lost all of my apps and music and can't get them from my computer to my

    Has anyone else had trouble with update 6.1.2 for I phone?  After the update, I can't get back on my network (password is correct), ICLOUD doesn't transfer my downloads, nothing seems to work.  It saved my calandar and address book, but lost all of my apps and music (except for a few songs, figure that out) and I can't get them back.  Any suggestions?

    I had this problem post 6.1. Not sure if it was a coincidence, but I'd just recently changed my password after being convinced I'd been hacked, due to being told I was entering my password wrongly, repeatedly by iCloud / iTunes.  It turns out my iCloud account on my Settings -> Mail, Contacts and Calendars was listed as Inactive.  Putting in my details, turning off Contacts over iCloud (thus deleting them) and turning them back on again, repopulated my contacts from iCloud with numbers attached to them.

  • Can't connect to internet through Airport network

    Previously - worked
    Internet: DSL
    Network: via Airport Extreme
    Computers: 3 (G4 Tower, PowerBook G4, Xbox360)
    Setup: I ran the ethernet cable out of the modem into the Aiport Extreme. Then I ran another ethernet cable into a router which then split the signal into two lines -- one going to the tower and one going to the Xbox. The laptop connected wirelessly. This worked using DHCP assigning multiple IP addresses to all on the network and indeed the two computers surfed the net with ease and I had no problems connecting or staying on Xbox Live.
    Currently - doesn't work
    Internet: Cable (Charter)
    Network: same
    Computers: same
    Problem: I recently switched from DSL to Cable internet for faster speed. Here is what i found: When i connect the ethernet cable directly into the tower from the modem i can access the internet. If i connect the ethernet cable directly into the PowerBook G4 i get nothing. If i try to connect the ethernet cable to the Airport from the modem i get nothing as well. At first all i thought i had to do was change the account settings from that of the DSL to that of the Cable internet -- only there are no account settings for the Cable internet. I literally just plugged in the cable and was ready to go. I have tried resetting my airport to get rid of my previous [DSL] settings and redoing the Airport Setup Assistant to no avail.

    ok so i unplugged my modem for a few minutes and then plugged the ethernet into the airport and turned the modem back on. now i can get internet on both my laptop and my tower. that works, thanks!
    an odd aside tho is that before, when i was connecting through PPPoE, the laptop would automatically connect to my network (regardless of how many networks the airport card was picking up). now that i have the airport set to just connect via ethernet i have to manually log onto my network every time. is there a setting i'm forgetting about that enables automatic log in or is this just the case with connecting via ethernet?
    here is the next problem, though. i bought a wireless adapter for my 360 and it cannot detect my network. it detects two other different networks that are in my complex but not mine. i have no idea if this is an airport issue or a 360 issue as powerbooks just automatically detect an airport base station. i have tried testing it in the same room as the airport with no luck. the only way i have connected to Xbox Live so far was to hard line an ethernet cable to the 360, shut the modem off, turn it back on and connect that way. if anyone knows anything about the 360 or has had similar problems trying to get their 360 up and running wirelessly through an airport please let me know

  • Can you mix roaming and extended airport networks as such:

    I have my main aebs connected to the cable modem.  I want to conenct several airport expresses to the aebs via powerlien adapters to form a roaming network.  One airport express I cant connect conveniently to powerline so I want to set it up to extend the wireless network as well as acting as a a wireless to ethernet bridge (to connect a Tivo).  Any pdroblem mixing these two types of networks?

    Several is a lot.. there isn't really enough wireless channels free to make several viable unless you are running 5ghz. You can extend wireless and use the express as ethernet bridge. But it might be worth thinking if you use roaming network naming for the rest of the network.. at least use a different name for the unit you extend.

  • Using Time Capsule With Existing Airport Network

    Hi All,
    I already have an Airport connection and would like to setup TimeCapsule on that network. Do I need to plug in an ethernet cable? Will it conflict with my existing airport base station?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tim

    Hi All,
    I went through the setup on the Airport Utility but honestly I'm very confused as to how to set this up. It's being recognized by the Aiport utility but when I got to configure it, the airport utility says "Please make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)" I've connected it to my Ethernet port even though I thought I shouldn't have to and it still gives me this message. Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance!!

  • Airport network doesn't allow me to open my work exchange mail...

    I have attempted for quite some time to open a link I created to bring me to my microsoft exchange web mail. However on the airport network I created the page just loads for ever and finally comes up with a safari message that says "page couldn't not be opened". Yet this link works perfectly fine when connected to another wireless router in my apartment building. Any idea if there are any settings I should mess with on the airport and how I would access those settings?

    Hi Simplistik,
    Would you be able to talk me through this. I am unsure of where I should go to check settings. I went into system preferences, network, adavanced and really didn't see a whole lot of choices for manipulating the AE.
    Thanks if you can do this,

  • Bluetooth interfere with airport network?

    I have had my share of interference issues with my airport network....thinking about buying bluetooth speakers....will they interfere with my wifi network......ie streaming from a touch to speakers?

    According to this thread, bluetooth can interfere with WiFi on the 2.4GHz band, but not on the 5Gz band.
