Can't get more than one mac online at once with aiport express

Hi, I hope someone can help - I've searched the forum and been on the phone to level 2 support at Apple for 6 hours to no avail!
I have a D-Link DSL 300G+ modem connected to an airport express and can connect to the internet fine on just one mac if I uncheck the 'Distribute IP addresses' option - if I check this option, whatever settings I have entered has prevented me from accessing the internet at all (I have no idea what settings to enter, I have just followed suggestions from Apple).
This problem arose when following Apple's diagnostics on a minor ichat issue, I disconnected my modem and reset my AX settings (until then everything had been fine.) I have called my ISP and D Link and they tell me the issue is with the AX.
This is my first posted question so I hope I have given all the relevant and necessary information.
Much appreciate any help at all.
Thanks,
Wayne.

Hello Wayne Rosie. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings ...
Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
o Power-off the ADSL modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 30 minutes.
o Power-on the ADSL modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
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, check these settings:
AirPort tab
o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o Create a closed network (unchecked)
o Wireless Security: Not enabled
o Channel: Automatic
o Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
o Connect Using: Ethernet
o Configure: Using DHCP
o WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
o Distribute IP addresses (checked)
o Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network.

  • How can I get more than one firewre port ?

    Hello,
    how can I get more than one firewire port ? I'd like to be able to connect my canon HV30 camera as well as my firewire external HD at the same time so I can use firewire to upload the videos I've taken. Is this possible?
    TIA

    Hi ginestre-
    Many FireWire hard drives have 2 firewire ports so that you can daisy-chain devices and connect the camera that way.
    Daisy-chaining is not the most reliable method, but it works, so you could buy a FireWire hub.
    Luck-

  • Can not get more than one computer to access internet

    using airport and can not get more than one computer to access internet wirelessly... currently airport is in bridge mode and internet sharing is set to "off" in network preferences...
    help - what should the settings be in airport and network preferences?

    are using internet connection as dhcp?
    Yes.
    bridge mode seems to only work with pppoe connection to internet which is what my set up is
    But you've never said why you're using bridge mode (I'm not), which -- as I've explained before -- is probably the reason you can connect only 1 client at a time.
    If you'll setup the AX as a regular, main base station, connect using DHCP, and share IP addresses, you should be fine.

  • Can you have more than one profile open at once in FF 4?

    I'm having problems with Profiles but if I can't have more than one profile open at once then I guess that's why.

    Thanks, but I just found out about Tab Groups and I think I'll stick with them as they seem to be designed to solve my problem in an economical way. If I'm wrong please let me know!

  • Can I get more than one account on iphone microsoft exchange server

    Hi all,
    I was trying to get more than one account on iphone microsoft exchange server for mail, but it seems to only accept one. Is this true with everyone else out there. I guess I am one of the few people with more than one email account that uses microsoft exchange. I would love to have the convience of accessing them through iphone mail but it seems that I will be forced to use safari for the other two by typing owa... in the url.
    any workaround to the one email account per iphone policy??

    Yu can only have one Exchange Server account per device. This is true to iPhone and any Windows mobile device in the market. The work around is to set your other accounts that reside on an Exchange server using IMAP or POP settings as you used to do before the Version 2 update allowed you to sync directly to the Exchange Server. This methode will allow you to add as many accounts as you want or have.

  • I can't get more than one window of Firefox to open no matter what I try. Help!

    I recently had a virus and had to do a system restore to about a month ago. After the restore everything worked okay, except for Firefox. Now I can't open more than one Firefox window at a time and the window that is open is having a bunch of problems (right clicking won't open things into tabs, the back button isn't working, etc.). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but that did nothing.
    == Yesterday

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Can on use more than one hard drive to backup with time machine ?

    Can one use more than one hard drivewith time machine ?

    Yes, if you have the Mountain Lion operating system installed on the Macs that you want to back up.
    I don't know what the maximum number of hard drives might be, but I have tested with 4 and it works fine. Time Machine automatically rotates the backups when you do this, so drive #1 will be backed up first, then #2, #3, etc. and then back to #1, etc.

  • Can I use more than one html5/js animation produced with Flash/createjs in a website?

    Hi, I am producing some animations with Flash that will be delivered in html5/js trough createjs. The trouble is that, after including the first animation in my html website, the rest of the animations are overwriting with the first one, therefore, if I attemp to insert a second animation in my website, it will actually replace the first animation I already had placed...
    I have already tried the following:
    - change the default canvasID for another one
    - change the resources and Javascript name spaces in Createjs export settings 
    - change manually the name of the functions (lib, img, cjs) in the Javacript file
    None of these seem to fix the problem. So, I am now wondering if is actually possible to insert more than one animation in a website....
    I would really appreciate a quick answer, as I am working on a project with a very tight timing, and really need to sort this out a.s.a.p.
    Thank you very much in advance for the help.

    then you made some mistake.
    start with two different flas.  one with a red rectangle on stage and the other with a blue rectangle on stage and nothing else.  publish your html and js files.
    combine the two into one and, if you have a problem, post the code from  your one html file and your two js files.

  • Can't get more than one month of backups with Time Machine

    I seem to be having persistent problems with TM. I have a 1TB HD and in the past I have been able to get up to several months of backups from around 140GB with exclusions. However, lately I seem to be plagued with "SystemFlipper" messages that start a full backup and result in the removal of previous backup such that I seem unable get have more than just over one month of backups.  This seem to occur mostly at the first backup of each day and then works fine for each subsequent hour after doing the "Full Reset" as per Pondini (http://pondini.org/TM/A4.html). Other days it seems to work fine.
    I have been reviewing other related discussion in this forum and cannot seem to find an answer. It is possibly to do with residual pre-Intel programmes is the best I can determine, but the problem is how to find the culprits in my list of applications either remove them all together or transfer them to another HD I use for non-essential data and files. I have done this for a lot of other data and have added exclusions for some file that were giving me identified issues.
    Would appreciate any suggestions as I'm getting a little frustrated at having to do a reset so often, and  not being able have a greater time period of backups given that there was a time when I had nearly a year's worth.
    Thanks, Dave

  • External MIDI device, can't get more than one sound, Logic Express 9 & Korg N364

    Hi, I just beginning to use Logic. I trying to get Logic Express 9 to work with and use my Korg N364 keyboard/workstation as an external MIDI device. I can only get one sound at a time even though I create multiple tracks and assign different programs (or patches) to them.
      Each time I do the following: I add a new external MIDI track, change the Channel to new number, put a check in the Program box ( as well as the Volume & Pan), and choose a instrument or patch from the Program drop down menu. What happens, though, it changes the sound to that instrument alright, but ALL THE PREVIOUS EXTERNAL MIDI TRACKS HAVE THE SAME SOUND NOW. I've followed the tutorials I found on the web and it seems like I'm doing everything correct in Logic. I hooked up the MIDI cables, added a new device and connected virtual cables in the MIDI studio window of my Mac OS, and have added the proper Korg multi instrument in the environment window of Logic and "un-slashed" the 16 channels. I get the sounds from the Korg no problem, it's just that I can only assign one sound and no more to the external MIDI tracks. Is there something in my Korg I need to do? Or am I missing something in Logic?

    It's not Logic, it's how you have the Korg setup.
    I'm not familiar with that model but it is a workstation so I'm pretty sure you can set it to a "Multi" mode.
    Right now you are running it in single patch mode.
    In single patch mode only one sound is available on a single MIDI channel, your Korg probably has a Multi or Combi mode, this is where multiple sounds can be played, each sound has to have it's own MIDI channel.
    You will need to set this up on the Korg first.

  • Can't get more than one Ultrabeat sound setting in one project. If I have a drum track with an Ultrabeat "downtempo kit" and I make another drum track with "hip hop kit" in the same project, the settings of the other track transform to "hip hop" setting.

    So here's my situation.  I'm using Logic Pro 9.  I'm trying to use multiple drum tracks each with different Ultrabeat settings.  So let's say I have drum track with a loop from Ultrabeat that has the "downtempo kit 2" setting on it.  If I make another drum track and create a different loop in Ultrabeat with a different setting, let's say "hip hop kit" for example, and put that loop onto the new track, then the previous loop that I had in the first drum track will still be the same loop but the sound kit settings change to that of "hip hop kit."  So I can have different loops, but they all have to be "hip hop kit" settings or "downtempo kit 2" settings.  I am unable to multiple kit settings.  Is there a box I need to check to turn some automation off or something, because this is pretty inconvinient?  Why do I have to have only one Ultrabeat sound/kit setting per Logic project?

    Sounds like maybe you're using the same channel strip on multiple tracks? Make sure you're creating a new software instrument channel strip for each independent instance of Ultrabeat you want to have. If you use the same CS, then all tracks that use it will have to have the same kit.
