Can't see my own Airport - can connect to other networks. Basestation works

Until recently my Airport Express worked fine (and had done so for a year or so). But a couple of months ago I started having problems connecting to it, and finally a month ago my Powerbook couldn't see the basestation at all. I could still see the other networks in my area, and connect to these (including some airport express networks), so I reasoned that my Airport Express was dead and had it exchanged for a new one...
BUT when I brought my new basestation home i STILL couldn't see it from my powerbook (even if I placed it 3 ft away). To double check I tried it at a friends house (with his PC), and he could see the basestation just fine...
So my question is this:
If I can see (and connect to) other networks than my own airport base, and another computer can connect to my airport, and my ADSL works fine with a cable - where is the problem? I really have no idea where to start looking...
please help me, this is frustrating...!
thanks, Lars

Back again, more frustrated than ever...
I had my friend come over, and with his PC and my Powerbook 10 inches apart, both situated less than 10 feet from the basestation, we can see exactly the same wireless networks - EXCEPT my very own basestation, which only my freind can see (on my friend's computer it's named "Apple Network edc585")!!!!
This leads me to think that somewhere in some program on my computer there's something blocking my access to my Airport... The only thing I did recently which has to do with the internet is that I installed an Apacheserver, but this didn't have immediate effect on my airport - so I can't think why it should have now...
Where can I go? Is there something I can uninstall and reinstall? Should I trash the Airport-assistant and reinstall from my airport-cd?
Help pls...

  • Can't see my own airport network

    Hi,
    My iPhone does not find my own airport expres N (only 5ghz). I do not have a hidden network name nor use a MAC adres blokking but WPA2 security. If I try to connect to a hidden network (because the iPhone does not find mine) I get the message that te iPhone is not able to find it.
    Both our Macbooks work fine. COuld it be that I only use 5ghz on the airport express?

    The iPhone does not support wireless N, only the older wireless G. If you have your Airport setup to only transmit/only for Wirless N connections that your iPhone will not be able to connect:
    Options:
    1) Setup your wireless network at home to allow N and G connections
    2) Piggyback your iPhone onto a Neighbors Wireless G connection (more feasible in an apartment complex or townhome setting).

  • How to access time capsulewhen connected to other networks using back to my mac and iclous

    so i need help on using the back to my mac through iCloud to connect to my time capsule so i can access my time capsule when im connected to other networks like at work, firends house, school so i can get my files and use the timemachine

    Is the TC the main router in the network.. if not it doesn't work??
    Did you read the instructions Apple give for connection via BTMM?
    Most important.. you must have full access to icloud from behind whatever firewall your workplace, school etc has otherwise it won't work.
    Finally, don't use TM over BTMM.. it is far too slow and is going to corrupt the backup.. there is a huge amount of checking going back and forth.. the general internet upload speed is not good enough. Just use cloud for backup on the move.. forget try to connect to TM. Or carry a 2.5" drive which are light and portable.

  • I can't see my external hard drive connected to my TC

    I can't see my external hard drive connected to my TC, I have connected to the USB port on my TC but cannot see it , any ideas

    Hello Bob,
    I have a powered hub plugged into my Time Capsule.
    Into the powered hub I have a printer; printer works fine.
    Into the powered hub I have an ExFAT formatted disk.
    The ExFAT disk is seen in the AirPort Utility as an "AirPort Disk".
    I cannot see the ExFAT disk in Finder or in Window's "My Computer".
    When I plug the ExFAT drive directly into Mac or Windows computers the drive is seen in Finder and My Computer.
    When the ExFAT drive is plugged directly into Mac or Windows both can read and write files.
    Do you think that I need to format the USB ExFAT drive as FAT 32?
    I have heard mention "need to map the drive". Do you think this would help?
    Thank you for your time.
    Rob

  • I can not see the PC I'm connected to over VPN in the MY Network tab.

    Hi, 
    I have set up my incoming connection for my VPN
    on a Windows 8.1 PC.  I can then remotely log in with my Windows 7 laptop. The laptop establishes a connection and says that I have "ipv4 internet access."
    The problem I'm having is that I can’t find the PC in my network. What am I missing? Is Windows 7 not compatible with Windows 8.1 over
    a VPN? I have turned off my Norton's Firewall for a short period of time but this did not change anything. I have altered the IP range allocation for the incoming connection and this has helped to establish a stable connection.
    Any ideas on why I can not see the PC I'm connected to, in the (MY
    Network) tab, would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Hi Steve,
    The main issue is the Windows 8.1 machine is not listed in the Windows 7 machine via VPN ,right ?
    Please check the following settings in the network and sharing center:
    1.Check these settings in the Advanced sharing settings
    “Turn on network discovery” and “turn on file and print sharing”
    2.Ping the destination machine both with the IP address and the UNC to have a check .
    Best regards

    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

  • Can't see tables after a JDBC connection

    Hi,
    I made a JDBC connection with Progress9.1d database. In the Connections Navigator, I expand the nodes for my database connection and see the following nodes: Synonyms, Tables, Views.
    However, when I try to expand the "Tables" node, I can't see the tables in the Connections Navigator. A window whose title is "Retrieving Objects" appears for a moment, retrieves the objects as shown by a status bar and disappears immediately.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you,
    Meltem

    For those of you having similar problems,
    Here is the answer I received from Oracle Support:
    "We use DatabaseMetaData.getTables() to retrive the information from the database, however, I found on a Progress discussion forum that there is a bug in the Progress implementation of getTables().
    The problem is with their implementation of DatabaseMetaData.getTables(). You have to pass a null into the catalog parameter or it will not work. Under 9.1C if you pass in a blank string ("") you get a "Optional feature not implemented" exception, if you pass in a non-blank string you get "The qualifier 'catalog' was larger than SQL_MAX_QUALIFIER_LEN from SQLGetInfo (0)". My understanding is the issue still exists in 9.1D
    Since we don't pass null here, the problem occurs. So, the problem isn't with JDeveloper, but with the Progress Driver."
    Now, I am talking with Progress Support. I will post another message if anything changes.

  • Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear-) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay

    Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.

    My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library?
    On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station.

  • PS Vita + Skype - can't see my own video

    Hi @ll,
    I have installed the 1.50 Skype app on my PS Vita. Now I have made a Skype video call to another PS Vita and I can't see my own picture/video in the upper right corner. The camera seems to work, because the other person can see me. It doesn't matter, if I use the front or the back camera. The other person have the same client version.
    Is there a option, where I can switch on this picture? Or is this a well-known bug?
    Thanks for all your help!

    I'm also having the same problem. I have to keep asking the person I'm calling if my camera is working properly this is really inconvenient. it needs fixing please and thank you!

  • My new smart TV recognizes my network, & asks, "Please enter you WEP keys (10 or 26 hex digits)" but my netwotk uses a password of 6 characters. How can I get my smart TV to connect to my network?

    I have a current iMac with the latest OS update.
    My new smart TV recognizes my network, & asks, “Please enter your WEP keys (10 or 26 hex digits).  My  Airport Express, an early model, only requires a password of less than 10 characters.
    When I open “airport utility,”on my iMac it tells me this version doesn’t support my base station & says go to “Airport Service & Support.”  That’s what got me here.
    My earlier MacBook runs OS 10.6.8. Its version of  Airport Utility works. Its Airport ID has 17 characters, & uses the same password to access the internet, but it also has a “wireless password” of 26 characters, but only shows me the dots. i haven’t the foggiest notion  what the characters are, if I put them in there years ago when i did the original configuration, or if they got there otherwise..
    I’m afraid of changing those settings for fear that I’l mess up the whole thing.
    How can I get my smart TV to connect to my network, ?
