Can't see desktop Mac since I switched to AirPort base station

Since I switched from my old 3rd party wireless router to an AirPort Extreme base station, my wife's G5 iMac no longer shows up in Network even though File Sharing is on on her computer. In my Network settings in AirPort Admin Utility, I have "Share a single IP address" checked, with 10.1.1 addressing. Is there anything in here I should tweak? Thanks.

What is your current network configuration? Is it...
DSL/cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AirPort Extreme Base Station [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] G5 & AirPort Extreme Base Station > (wireless) > PowerBook?
What is the IP address assigned to your PowerBook? To her G5? Are they both in the range of 10.0.1.n?

Downloading the right file for XP? Check to make sure that you are running XP SP3.
AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows
AirPort Utility is required if you need to set up or change the settings on an Apple AirPort router. It is not required if you are simply connecting to the wireless network from a PC.

Mac mini won't recognize airport base station

Hi,
I am posting a new thread because I can't find one that is similar to my case. I have a late 2010 Mac Mini. Here is what happened:
1. Using it this morning to wirelessly print a document. Recieved notice that printer appears off-line.
2. Re-booted printer, re-started airport base (snow white) , no luck.
3. Did above again and restarted Mini... no luck
4. Airport signal indicator suddenly went gray on the bar and notice asking me to join an unrecognized netwok.
5. restarted Mini... would not recognize my network and Airport Base station
6. restarted mini and ABS.. still the same gray bars but being prompted to join someone else's network
7. did no.6, 3-more times... no change
8. Opened airport utility... does not appear in the scan
9. opened network preferences and clicked remember network... restarted... same SIGH!
10. checked system profiler... airport card is on but is "not associated". (Could it be broken but on?)
11. did no.6 again and also restarted DSL modem... same thing
12. Turned on my Macbook ABS recognized and was able to print my document through it no problem.
Until an hour after I turned on my Mini, it was fine.
All other devices 2 macbooks, 2 windows PCs, iPod Touches and wireless printers work.
my first instinct was to do a permissions repair but it was taking to long to finish and had to leave... will this help?
ABS and Mac-mini all have latest updates. frustrated ,have to go to work... PLS HELP.
thanks

I'm sure if this is related but I'm also having a problem connecting a pre-2009 mac mini to an Airport base station. I have two others and they are working fine but one will not connect.
I can see the airport station and get a prompt for my password. When I try it, it times out and cannot connect. Another strange thing is the signal is only showing 2 out of 4 bars. The base station is less than 15 feet away and other devices like my iPhone show a very strong signal. The older mini is only 802.11g so I have left the multicast rate on the base station at 2.2 which I believe is the default.
I had been using an 802.11n USB adaptor but I wanted to go back to the internal wifi because the USB adaptor would disconnect whenever the computer went to sleep. I have the mini connected as a media center on a tv so having to always log again was getting frustrating.
I may try a clean install again, but the machine was just formatted and updated with a clean 10.6 about 2 months ago. I didn't install much beyond eyeTV and a few FrontRow plugins. Any ideas on how to debug wifi problems?

What can I do when saw this? "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"

What can I do when I saw this? "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"
My Time Machine is not working. And is not connected to my computer.

Did you update the firmware.. this seems to happen a lot.
Do a full factory reset and start over.. this is easier with it pulled from the network.. plugged into a computer by ethernet.. then do the reset and when you finish put it back in the network again.

How can I find out the IP address of my airport base station, model number A1143?

I see an airport ID and an ethernet ID, but neither seems to be the IP address? How do I find that out? Thanks for your help!

Open Airport Utility. You should find it in there under the Internet tab.

Can't see other Macs/PCs on the network...

Since installing the Safari 6/Apple Remote Desktop Update I can't see other Macs/PCs on the network. If I restart I can see 2 Macs, but after a while they disappear, and I can see/connect to nothing...

If you are using DHCP check that it is getting the correct addressing. In the event that it is but still not working then test by giving it a fixed IP and see if it then works.

Do you have a home network?
Personal File Sharing: You can connect Macs on a local network with Tiger’s Personal File Sharing, which allows you to mount folders from the sharing Mac on the master Mac—note that the slave Macs do the sharing; the master Mac doesn’t have to. To turn on Personal File Sharing on the slave Mac, do this:
Open System Preferences.
In the System Preferences window, click Sharing.
In the Sharing pane, click Services.
In the Select a Service to Change Its Settings list, select the Personal File Sharing checkbox.
Now that the slave Mac has sharing turned on, you can mount it on the master Mac’s Desktop:
In the Finder, choose Go -> Network.
In the Network window, select the sharing Mac.
Click Connect.
In the Connect to Server window, click Registered User, enter the user account name and password for the sharing Mac, and then click Connect.
In the window that appears, select the volume that contains the folder you want to sync with, and then click OK.

New Mac OS Server on network, Windows box can't see other Macs anymore

I just put a Mac mini server on my network and the only services I have enabled are SMB, AFP and Open Directory. Before I put the server on the network (and if I turn the server off) the Windows 7 Pro machine I have on the network used to be able to see the rest of the Macs on the network in the Network section... I could see them, log on to one, grab files, etc. This also went for the Macs seeing the PC on the network in the Finder. Now that I have the server on the network though, I can't see the PC on my Macs and can't see my Macs on the PC. I can, however, do a "Map network drive" on the PC and enter an address to one of the Macs and connect that way. Anyone know why this could be happening?
Like I said, if I turn the server off or disconnect it from the network, the Macs will see the PC and the PC will see the Macs, but once its back on the network, they stop seeing each other, so its definitely something the server is doing that's causing it.
TIA

Confirm you have unique addresses and unique host names for the IP host names on your network. In absolute specifics, make absolutely certain your Mac OS X Server box is not configured at a conflicting address, or with a host name that conflicts with the Windows 7 box or with some other central and critical network resource such as your firewall or an IP router.
It's also possible you've got (for instance) a bad cable or a bad NIC and that's jamming up your network, though that's less likely.
Your Mac OS X Server box requires DNS be configured locally, or within your network.
Confirm unique host names. Confirm unique IP addresses. You can launch Terminal.app and use the dig command at the bash shell (+dig -x 192.168.1.1+ with whatever the local address, and +ping 192.168.1.1+ again with the local address and not with the 192.168.1.1 value shown, and +dig hostname.example.com+ or such for your domain name) or (if you're not comfortable in bash -- do go learn bash, regardless) then you can use the Network Utility in the Applications > Utilities folder.
It's also possible there's a problem with the managed switch configuration or such, but that probably isn't in use here.

I mean, I have a Mac in the office and a Mac at home. Is it possible not to carry mine, just to connect it to the office's one? Thank you very much

"Sharing" the way Mac OS X uses it means giving permission for others to use something. Once Sharing something is enabled, you just use the thing that has been Shared.
To access your Mac at work from the Internet would require changing the configuartion of the Router at work to allow port-forwarding.

Can't see desktop with blue screen after login

Hi
we have a server 2008 ent SP2 that sometimes when use remote desktop or via vmware console to access this server, after login we got blue screen and can't see desktop. after force reboot it recovery.
From application log, we find some error:

Hi,
In general, event ID 1530 means there are some data in the user profile are still be accessed when the user log
off from the Terminal Server. Please check if any of the data is still remained in the user profile supposed to be deleted. You can use Process Monitor or Process Explorer in order to find the software which is using the data and find the solution. If there
is no such data remained, the Windows have possibly stopped the process and deleted the data when log off. In such a case, you can ignore the Event 1530.
In addition, I recommend running SFC /Scannow from an elevated command prompt and check a dump file for Windows
Explorer under C:\Localdumps.
Besides, you can also download
Autoruns to troubleshooting Explorer issues. Please run Autoruns as Administrator, go to Options menu, Filter, select Hide Microsoft Entries and Ok. After that, open the Explorer tab,
and you will see all DLL that are running inside File Explorer, so start disabling and testing if Explorer crashed.

CAN'T SEE DESKTOP AFTER LOGON, ONLY BLUE BACKGROUND AFTER PROMOTE A DOMAIN CONTROLER

Hi, my name is Omar
I promoted two domain controllers yesterday with Windows Server 2008 R2. Both work fine as a domain controllers role but when I logon, I can't see desktop, I only see a blue background, I 'cant see any desktop Icon. We have already had that problem and i

Thanks for your assistance

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Firstly please update the driver and in addition you can try below registry workaround.
To do this, change the value of the following registry subkeys to 3 (Manual) or 4 (Disabled)：
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cdrom
Name: Start
Type : REG_DWORD
Data: 3 or 4
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\parport
Name: Start
Type : REG_DWORD
Data: 3 or 4
Note: If the above registry is changed to 4 (Disabled), the related device is not usable because a driver used in the device is not loaded. Therefore, if the device will be used in the future, the above registry should be set as 3 (Manual).
More information.

2. Event ID 7026 — Basic Service Control Manager Operations
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

I can't see the Mac partition (and I can't install Mac Os X!)

Well, I installed Windows XP, I used MacDrive, etc. Suddenly it appeared a blue screen (in XP) and now I can't see the Mac partition, even pressing Alt while booting. Also I can't reinstall Mac Os X because the Mac partition doesn't appear in the install's menu or in the disk utilities (in the disk utilities it gets freezed when I try to enter to it, so I can't manage or restore the hard drive)
Help!

Hi, Ralph,
The problem is that I did erase the partition, using disk utility, but I can't go back to my original disk size pre-partition, as disk utility won't let me do it and gives the message "Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." When I try to use Boot Camp Assistant it won't let me select the third option to remove windows.

I can't see incoming calls since update when I'm on the phone

I can't see incoming calls since the update when I'm on the phone with someone. The calls don't show up in my recent as missed either.

I went through the steps as suggested.
Until someone calls through, I won't know if my swap icon appears, and I can see who my incoming caller is. I'll let you know when that happens.
Geez, I have a 4 not a 5, no wonder my phone did not appear up to date!
