Can Not Access Airport Utility or USB Disk Over Wireless with WEP Enabled

I have an AirPort Extreme base station, with several Windows XP (SP2) machines connected to it. I am able to access the base station through the AirPort Utility (v5.1) using the machines that are connected to the base station via ethernet cables. However, when I attempt to configure the base station using a wireless connection on my Win XP laptop, it says that no base stations can be found. It will also not connect to the USB hard drive (no hards drives appear in the AirPort Disk Utility.) I AM able to browse the web via the wireless connection however. When I turn off WEP, the laptop is able to see the base station through the AirPort Utility, so I know it has something to do with the security, but I have not been able to narrow the problem down beyond that.
Any suggestions?
  Windows XP  

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem. I am using the airport extreme with a MacBook and a PC running windows XP, The MacBook is the computer that I used to configure the settings in the airport utility for the base station. I set it up this way with the assistance of an Apple representative. When I view the disk tab in the airport utility, I can see the USB drive connected to the base station. I can also see the USB drive on the desktop of the Mac. On the PC however, I can't seem to locate the USB drive anywhere. I can't see it anywhere in explorer and the drive doesn't show up when I use an application and attempt to open a file. Does this sound similar to your experience and were you able to resolve the problem?

  • I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.90.4

    I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.9.4 . Error Message:[You can’t use this version of the application “AirPort Utility.app” with this version of OS X. You have "Airport Utility.app"5.4.2] It also will not allow me to install "airport Utility 6.3. Does anybody has a fix for this?

    Re-run Software Update and see if there is a newer version of Airport Utility. I suspect your router or iMac may be too old to use Airport Utility 6.3 . As a work- around if Software Update does not work then try reading this article and see if the suggested solution help you.

  • Can't access airport utility in 9.2

    Hi! I’d really appreciate some help if anyone has a moment.
    I use a G5, 10.4, cable connection, Airport Express. I have a G3, wireless, running 10.2 as a back-up machine. I want to install 10.4 on the G3 but it says I need a firmware update first and that the firmware download must be to OS9. I can’t get an internet connection in OS9 – I get a message saying that the airport utility does not exist or is disabled. What to do?
    My problem is compounded by the fact that OS9 looks like a foreign language to me
    TIA.

    Hi, Alliebean -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    ...and that the firmware download must be to OS9.
    I think you have misunderstood the info on the download page for the firmware updater.
    It does not state that the download must be to OS 9, only that it must be installed while the machine is booted to OS 9. 'Downloading' and 'installing' are not at all the same thing.
    It is perfectly okay to download the updater in OSX - just be sure to not decompress it nor to open it while the machine is booted to OSX.
    Once you have downloaded the firmware update, reboot the machine into OS 9. Then decompress the updater by double-clicking it.
    You may need to drop it (the file whose name ends in .smi.bin) onto the icon for Stuffit Expander to complete the decompression of the download. the result should be a file whose nae ends in ".smi".
    Note - before dropping it onto Stuffit Expander, double-click Stuffit Expander, and open its Preferences (under the File menu). Select "Disk Images" from the list on the left, then turn off (uncheck) "Mount Disk Images". Quit Stuffit Expander.
    The result should be a file whose name ends in ".smi". Double-click that to mount the dsik image it contains - a new icon should appear on the right-hand side of the desktop. Then open that disk image - inside will be a readme (it's a good idea to print that out), and an installer program (G3 Firmware Updater), plus one additional file (which can be ignored). After familiarizing yourself with the contents of the readme, double-click the installer program and follow the instructions.

    Do you have a case on the phone? If so, what case? If you do, then try removing the case and see if it works.
    If not, then try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot. After that, try again.

    i got this when building my custom class loader and it took me sometime to figure this out since my editor generates my class templates I didn't even think to check something as basic as not having a public class - hopefully this saves someone else some trouble

  • Safari can not access any secure (HTTPS) web pages

    Does anyone have an idea why a good frined of mine using Safari 1.3.2 on a Power Book G4 with Mac OS 10.3.9 can not access any secure web pages (those that start with HTTPS)? I can not find any preferences that might control this. She can access the pages with IE but not Safari. What setting on her computer might control this? Any ideas would be appreciated. I even through away (com.apple.Safari.plist) file. Not change. An ideas??

    I have the same problem! However, this is ONLY while running wireless internet. Anytime I want to use an HTTPS site, I have to plug directly into my router, so I'm not wireless anymore, and then it works fine. Every now and then (like maybe 5% of the time), I get lucky and it will work for a short while such as logging into yahoo mail for example (logging into here didn't work at first but after waiting a bit, i was able to log in), but trying to stay on a secure connection such as a bank accnt. is impossible.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Everyone I've asked says they've never had the problem. I thought I was the only one.
    I checked my proxy settings -- nothing is checked. I've tried deleting preferences and I reset safari often.

  • HT204057 I have the latest airport extreme. can not access the files.

    I have previously time machine backups for two macbook pros on same drive.
    However, I connect the drive to the airport extreme and although I see the drives and the backups, I can not access the files over Airport Extreme. 
    What am I doing wrong?

    You can't access a Time Machine backup that way. Connect the drive directly, hold down the option key, and select Browse Other Backup Disks from the Time Machine menu.

  • I can not access the hard drive connected to my airport extreme!  Any thoughts?

    I can not access the hard drive connected to my ariport extreme.  When I use the finder to connect a server and type in the IP of the a. extreme, 10.0.1.1 it does not work and I get an error message.
    Any thoughts.
    A

    Is the hard drive formatted for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?
    If yes, you may need to use a powered USB hub since the USB port on the AirPort Extreme is under powered and it is often necessary to use a powered hub....even if the hard drive has its own power supply
    If both items check out above.....have you checked Finder Preferences to make sure that "Connected Servers" will be displayed?
    Finder Preferences > General > Show These Items on the Desktop > Connected Servers
    Then with the Finder menus displayed at the top of the screen click the Go menu
    Click Network and the AirPort Extreme icon should be displayed
    Double click the icon to mount the drive on the desktop

    No. Not without access to a computer running iTunes. You do want to use your own computer so that you can restore from your backup and sync your own content back from iTunes.

  • Can not Access disk drive attached to WRT350N via an FTP client

    Background
     I have a WRT350N v1 running the most current firmware. I have a static IP address for the WRT350N and I can ping it over the internet.  I have a disk drive attached to the 350N with a FAT32 partition that has been set up for shared access for a selected group and user. I have worked with cicso/linksys support to verify the linksys350N is set up correctly (?).
    Problem
    I can not access the disk drive attached to the WRT350N via an FTP client. I have tried the following FTP Clients: Transmit and Filezilla.  I get a "Connection established, waiting for welcome message...' message on the FTP client. Then it says Connect timeout, Can not connect to server. I CAN connect to other FTP sites so its not the FTP client software.
    What I have done so far
    1. deleted the old  and added a new FTP group and user
    2.  unplugged and reconnected my WRT350N and my cable modem
    3. Contacted Cisco/linksys support on-line and they verified my setup and can ping my 350N but thats as far as they are willing to help
    I haven' a clue as to what to do next. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. 

    Access your router set-up and make sure you have :
    1. Enabled FTP Server and Internet Access under the FTP Server subtab under Storage...
    2. Reduced the MTU size to 1300 under SetUp...
    3. Unchecked Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
    If you have done all this and nothing works, then, you need to upgrade your router's firmware and re-configure your router and then enter the settings...
    Download Firmware 3.23 MB...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    1. Enable FTP Server and Internet Access under the FTP Server subtab under Storage...
    2. Reduce the MTU size to 1300 under SetUp...3. Uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...See if this works for you...

  • How to share an airport connected USB Disk over internet

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to get my AEBS connected USB Disk to be accessible over the internet, so I can access it when I'm not at home.
    In Airport Utility I checked both 'Share Disks over WAN' and 'Share Disks over the internet using Bonjour'.
    I've also set a few accounts who can connect to it (instead of being guests).
    But what's next?
    I can connect to the disk in Finder by selecting the menu-option 'Connect to server' and typing in 'afp://ip-address' (where IP-address is for the AEBS) as long as I'm in my home network, but I tried the same at my work but that doesn't work.
    Do I have to configure the AEBS in some other way to make this possible?
    Any help, advice would be appreciated.

    Using the AirPort Utility, you will need to both enable File Sharing and configure the AirPort for Port Mapping. (Note: It is assumed that your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) is the only Internet router in your current network configuration. That is, it is connected directly to a broadband Internet modem, and not another router upstream of it.)
    The following are the basic steps to configure an AirPort Disk to be accessed from the Internet:
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn, and then, note the IP address shown.
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
    Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
    Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
    Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
    From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
    Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
    Click Connect.
    You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
    Click Connect.
