Cannot connect to internet on PC laptops with Airport Express

I had to purchase a new Airport Express today - old one failed. My G3 I Book connects to the internet with no problem. My two windows laptops (Toshiba and Dell ) are showing a strong signal but cannot connect to internet. Can anyone help with advice for settings on these two laptops ? By the way, I had no problem with my old Airport Express and these two PC laptops - need them for work ! Thanks!

Can't connect HP laptop with Airport Express

My gov't agency has just allowed employees to connect to its intranet through wireless connections. I have an Airport Express which I use for my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad. No problems. The work computer is an HP laptop running Windows. I contacted our tech support and they didn't know what to do and suggested that it may be an Apple problem and that the AirPort will not connect to non-Apple devices. Is this true? Do I need to buy a new wireless router? Anyone with any suggestions on what I can do to get the AirPort to work?
Thanks in advance.

All wireless routers must adhere to the same standards for wireless networks, so there is nothing unique about the wireless network that the AirPort Express is creating. Visiting relatives have no trouble connecting their PCs to the Apple wireless network here at the house.
Chances are, the Windows Firewall or anti-virus applicaton on the HP may be blocking the attempted connection as a security measure.
As a last resort, you could also try reducing the security level on the AirPort Express in case the HP is not able to connect to the most secure wireless networks.
To do this from your MacBook.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab located below the row of icons
Change the Security setting to WPA/WPA2 Personal
Click Update at the lower right and wait 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart

Cannot use DSL for wireless & phone simultaneously with Airport Express

Hello, I've just moved and switched to DSL from cable modem.
SBC DSL
One phone jack with the supplied filter on it allowing connection to the phone and supplied wired router
They provided a CD that configured the connection for me. In their ethernet connection it is not PPOE. Just DHCP. When I connect the laptop directly to the router via ethernet, I am able to surf and talk on the phone. When i connect the router to the Airport express and connect wirelessly, I can use either the phone or the internet. When I make a phone call the wireless drops.
Does anyone have any idea as to why this happens?
Thanks,
Neobe

It's a 2.4 GHz phone
This is likely your problem.
2.4GHz phones are notorious for interfering with WiFi networks, as they share the same frequency range.
This is a very common problem.
I would suggest switching to a 900Mhz, or a 5.8GHz cordless phone.

How connect to 802.1x (PEAP) ethernet with Airport Express

Can´t figure out how to connect the Airport Express to an ethernet configurated with 802.1x (PEAP).
It is no problem connect directly to the ethernet to my iMac, something I do with "Internet connect" (but then I can´t share my connection with any laptops etc.)
Can anyone explain how I can solve this problem? Would expect it´s possible through the "Airport-admin"-utility?
Thanks.

Yes but that doesn't help, the Apple TV still has to connect to the Internet in order to set the time for the time zone. It can't do that as it isn't connected due invalid certificates- due to the wrong time!
This is a plea to apple. Now you have updated apple configurator to put Apple TV on enterprise networks please can you allow us to set the time manually so we may join them!

Cannot Connect To External Speakers Through iTunes 10 & AirPort Express

I am trying to play music through my stereo from iTunes 10 and my AirPort Express. IMy Mac & AirPort Express are on the same network and the speakers are connected correctly to the Airport Express. I don't see the AirPlay button in the bottom right corner of iTunes though. Any thoughts?

i'm having the same problem, there used to be an icon in the lower right hand corner to connect to my airport express and it doesn't exist anymore, i tried shutting down, unplugging and plugging the airport express back in, but i still have no option to send music to it. any luck with yours?

I have internet service on iMac but cannot get connection for Blu ray with airport express.

Why am I not getting internet connection for blu ray on tv with airport express?

Which exact model of the AirPort Express do you have?
Did the Blu Ray player connect wirelessly to the Express before or has it never been able to connect to it at all?

Configuring the time capsule airport wlan function as "connect to wlan", the time caspule gets a correct IP adress from the other wlans IP range, but does not assign this to the ethernet ports. With Airport Express it worked!

Configuring the time capsule airport wlan function as "connect to wlan", the time capsule gets a correct IP adress from the other wlans IP range, but does not assign this to the ethernet ports. With Airport express it worked, the single Ethernet port got the IP Parameters passed through!
My setup is a Vodafon Esaybox connected to ISP. Time Capsule is not able to extend the wlan of the easybox, neither airport express can do.
Only the option "connect to wlan" is succesful.
With airport express I was able to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the lan via ethernet to stream pictures, the TV set got an IP adress from the easybox.
With the time capsule the easybox dosn't find devices connected to the ethernet ports to submit IP adresses. The TV set get another IP adress (169.xxx.x.x.) in subnet mask 255.255.0.0 and I don not now where from.
My notebook is a MacBook pro.
Any idea????
Thank a lot in advance!
Kind regards
Ingo

Neverthe less, could there be the chance, that this feature could be implemnented with an firmware update?
That would appear to be a question for Apple to answer. You can make suggestions to Apple here:
Apple - AirPort Extreme - Feedback
If the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule are configured to "extend a wireless network" they will provide additional wireless coverage....and...the Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup.
The "catch" here is that you must have an Apple router providing the network to be extended.

TS1286 Cannot connect to internet with USB

I am a new user of Ipod touch 5th gen 32 gig I cannot connect to internet with usb?

Hi bikernblondie,
When you say that you're trying to connect to the internet with USB, do you mean that you're trying to connect your iPod to the internet so that you can surf the internet with a browser on your iPod, or that you're trying to connect your iPod to your computer so that you can sync it with iTunes and bring over songs, movies, apps, etc.?

Cannot connect to Internet (using Safari)

Hi all.
I got my Macbook (unibody) for about 7 months ago. I have never had any problems with it, but now suddently Internet has stopped working. I am using only Safari. It just says "cannot connect to Internet" when i try get online. The weird thing is that Internet works to all other computers here at home, but not on mine. I have checked that all the cords are plugged in and all lights are on. I have tried using the internet cords for the other computers on my Mac, but they dont work. The cord i am using is working on other computers too, so there is nothing wrong with it. It is like my Mac doesn´t "recognize" that i have the cord plugged in. When i am on the systems settigns it says that everything is offline, and when i am on the Ethernet settings it does not have any IP adress written or anything, and i have chosen "Use DHCP".
What should i do? I was watching a movie yesterday and had the laptop in my lap, maybe it got overheated or something? Or is it something wrong with the network card? Please help, this is so frustrating!

When you use the Airport utility what happens?
What is in the System Preferences control panel for Network settings?

Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
Things to consider before you begin
Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

Cannot connect to internet in Solaris 10 OS.

I setup X4500 running solaris 10 OS. But, I cannot connect to internet. I do not understand whats wrong with that. When I ping google or any other site from X4500 its not transferring any packets. I can ssh it from a remote computer. So, running fine on the network. I have a static IP for that. Could someone please help me with this.
Thank you

Can you ping your own default gateway's IP address?
Can you traceroute to a public IP address like forums.sun.com (72.5.124.102)?
Can you use nslookup to resolve hostnames to IP addresses?
Does your /etc/resolv.conf have lines like:
nameserver 192.168.0.10
Where 192.168.0.10 is the IP address of your local DNS server(s)?
Did you copy /etc/nsswitch.dns over /etc/nsswitch.conf before trying to reach websites?
I hope investigating these questions help.
regards,
