Cannot find Airport after attempting to set up Bridged Network

I had a previous post on creating a bridge network (with two base stations - one plugged into a modem "A" and one plugged into my Mac Pro with an ethernet cable "B". After doing the following, the bridge does not work - and more importantly - I cannot find base station "B" with the airport Utility at all.
I did the following:
Set up base station "A" to "Share a Public IP Address"
Set up base station "A" to "Allow this network to be extended"
Updated settings on "A" (allowed it to reset)
Set base station "B" to Bridge Mode
Set up base station "B" to connect to the wireless network on "A" (with the same password and configuration (WPA2 Personal)
Configured the TCP/IP on "B" to be the same as on "A"
Updated settings on "B"
I did this initially and it did not work - on "B" there was an error concerning "Network Extended" and it said the airport was having problems extending the network (which is in the next room, I don't know how that is possible). Anyway the bigger problem is after updating "B" again, it is not recognized by the airport utility at all - not by my macbook pro (which was seeing it before with the wireless network) or the Mac Pro that is plugged into it with an ethernet cable (I've double checked that it is one of the "out" ports, not the input for the airport). I have also plugged it into my macbook pro with an ethernet cable and get the same problem. It is just delivering a flashing amber light. I have unplugged it and plugged it in again, reset all of my computers, but nothing I do allows me to connect to Airport "B" to use the utility. Any ideas?

The thing I am not seeing in your posting is that each of these devices has a similar but not identical IP Address.
Are you using DHCP to assign addresses? Which Router is assigning them, what range are you using? If assigning by hand, are they all similar, but not identical? It may help to list them.

  • Macbook cannot find airport extreme to configure it

    macbook pro cannot find airport extreme to configure it to join an existing network.

    By default, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) will be broadcasting a wireless network with a name like, Apple Network NNNNNN. Be sure that the MBP is connected to this wireless network BEFORE trying to access with the AirPort Utility.
    If this still doesn't work, try temporarily connecting the AX directly to the MBP by Ethernet, and then, try accessing it with the AirPort Utility.

  • Utility cannot find airport extrme, how can I set it up? thanks

    trying to setup the airport extreme but utility cannot find the deviceto begin setup , any suggestions be gratly appreciated

    Which model AirPort Extreme is it, are you using a Mac to configure it, and if so what version of OS X is it running?
    In general, start with a "hard reset" - hold its reset button depressed continuously, five to ten seconds, until its LED flashes rapidly. After it restarts the Extreme will create an open wireless network to which you must connect and subsequently use AirPort Utility to configure it.

  • HT1178 Airport utility cannot find Airport Time Capsule base station

    I just purchased the new AirPort Time Capsule 2TB and after trying to set it up with my MAC I realized that the AirPort utility software was old and instead tried setting it up with my ipad that has iOS 6.1.3. However eventhow I remain connected in the internet, I cannot find any base station with the updated AirPort utility. Reseting Time Capsule and modem has not helped. Has anyone else had the same problem and how have you solved it?

    Sorry, can you please clarify, and provide a bit more information?
    You can "see" the Time Capsule using your iPad, but not using AirPort Utility on your Mac, correct?
    If yes, what version of AirPort Utility do you have on your Mac?  If you are not sure, open AirPort Utility, click the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen and click About AirPort Utility.
    Post back with the version number that you see there.

  • PC AirPort Utility cannot find Airport extreme w/ ethernet but has internet

    Hello, I have set up the airport extreme to use with a MacBook. I pluged everything in just fine (PC using ethernet) but had to configure the base station with the MacBook as the PC could not find it using the Utility. However the PC is connected to the internet just fine through the base station's ethernet port.
    My problem is trying to get the PC (running XP home 2002 sp2) to see the Airport Extreme using the Airport Utility in order to start configuring network printing and eventually AirTunes.
    I cannot seem to find this solution anywhere. Please help if you can. Thanks!

    Hi I don't know for sure if this is your answer, but with your mac go into setup again. Under wireless tab, then wireless options , make sure 'create a closed network' is unchecked. This may allow the pc to see any Apple base stations. Good luck
    Can you please tell me exactly where to find the "create a closed network" box? I am brand new to mac and am still finding my way around. Thank you so much!

  • Itunes cannot find Airport

    Hey All,
    We have an Airport in our office that's hooked up to our sound system. This lets us stream music from our laptops to the sound system. The other guys have macs, and they have no problem sending music from Itunes to the Airport. However, I am on a PC, and am unable to join the fun. Itunes does not give me the option to stream music to the Airport, presumably because it cannot find the Airport. I turned off Windows Firewall, so I don't think it's a firewall issue. Do you all have any ideas on why Itunes can't find the Airport?
    Thanks.
    --Jeremy

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem with a Fritz WLAN Repeater N/G. If the airport express is connect to it, I'm able to configure it with the AirPort Utility but iTunes just shows a connecting dialog and times out after approximately 2min.
    Were you able to fix it for you?

  • Windows XP Toshiba laptop cannot find airport express

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing the same problems (so i've read) many others have.
    My Xp laptop cannot find the base station of airport express, while my macbook has no problems.
    I've tried some of the possible solutions mentioned on this forum, but nothing seems to work for me.
    - i can't fill in a correct ip adress in the airport aid program XP (don't know if this is important)
    - and I don't know where i can find the "channel change" option on my xp laptop.
    I have tried to change the channel to 1 at my macbook wich resulted in having to reinstall ax cause it also couldn't be found on my mac book after this change
    Long story, but i hope someone can help me!
    Kind regards,
    Sonja.

    Do you have access to the Airport Admin Utility? It should be Start ->Airport -> Airport Admin Utility.
    If you have this, and it should be there is you have loaded the AX software, you will see the AX Base Station in the window. Click on it. You will be asked for a password: the default is "Public" (without the quotation marks). Once you have entered the program, you will see a series of tabs across the top of the page. The Airport Tab will give you access to the information that you need to change (e.g., channel, etc.).
    Remember that some Toshiba Laptops have a physical switch that must be turned on in order for wireless to be used. Mine is just underneath the left-hand side at the front of the unit.
    If you purchased your AX in Europe, then you can go all the way up to Channel 13 ... Channel 11 appears to be the maximum in North America.

  • IBook G4 cannot find system after update to 10.4.8 the first startup

    Hi,
    I recently updated the iBook G4 of my girlfriend from Mac OS X 10.4.6 to 10.4.8. After restart the iBook showed up the icon for not being able to find a system to startup from. I then turned the iBook off and turned it on again, now the iBook started up just fine from the previously updated system.
    But since then, every time the iBook becomes started up it's the same procedure: First it cannot find a system to start up from, then we turn the iBook off and on again and then it starts up just fine. Any ideas why?
    Additonally, we now found some error with disk utility on the start up disk. I started the iBook from an 10.4.6 installation disk, checked and repaired the disk. The checked it again, no error found anymore... Started up from the iBooks hard drive, checked with the disk utility from the 10.4.8 system there and this one found error again. Does this make sense?
    Any ideas are really appreciated!

    Go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and reselect the system you want to use to startup the computer and then select Restart which should resolve the startup problem.
    Started up from the iBooks hard drive, checked with the disk utility
    from the 10.4.8 system there and this one found error again. Does
    this make sense?
    Not sure if this is considered a bug but this has been reported by others which you can ignore.
    I use Disk Utility from the Startup volume to repair disk permissions only, never to Verify Disk which you shouldn't use to check the boot volume for any directory errors with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc either.
    When doing so, better to select Repair Disk right off the bat and if no problems are reported, you are done. No point in selecting Verify Disk to verify again.
    If a problem is reported via Verify Disk and you run Repair Disk to repair the problem and if successfully repaired, no point in running Verify Disk again in this situation either. Best to run Repair Disk only and if any problems are reported and successfully repaired, run Repair again until no problems are reported which saves a step/time and is more efficient.

  • "cannot find file" after formatting and moving!!

    Wanted to have iTunes library included in Time Capsule backup. So had to reformat external hardrives where all my songs are from Windows do OS. Copied everything on other HD, reformatted HD with OS, copied back all songs. HD still has same name "MUSIC", but iTunes cannot find files.
    Changed in iTunes preferences the location of files to ensure it searches in the right place AND also replaced with text editor in "iTunes Music Library.xml" file all links with new address of HD (now after reformatting to OS I found it to be slightly different despite still same name).
    But iTunes still cannot find the files. Everything is the same as before, HD name, directory structure, file names, etc. ONLY difference is it all is on "OS formatted" drive. Don't want to lose ratings and playlists of over 15,000 songs....is there still a solution?

    The moment I "drag out" the Tunes Library File, then there is nothing left there, and when I open iTunes it is empty.
    That's as expected. That file is the database iTunes uses that keeps track of everything, so when you then launch iTunes, it's starting from scratch.
    I can import the Playlists from the XML and they do appear, but still no songs, all is empty. If I try to reimport from the new location, then they "do not fit into the playlists", meaning ratings etc. are lost.
    Then you apparently didn't get the XML file edited properly; it's not easy to do.
    Why does the simple location function in iTunes Preferences not work?
    It does, when used as designed. The preference is where new additions (imports & purchases) will be stored. It does not change the location for existing files.
    Put the original library file back. Then launch iTunes, Get Info on a representative track, and look at the path to where it thinks the files should be and compare that to the actual path. Any difference at all will break things. If there are differences (drive name slightly different, any difference in folder names/structure, etc.; letter case counts), try correcting them in Finder and see if that gets things working again. If not, then you'll have to use the Add to Library command to get back your tracks which will lose all your ratings, etc.
    Where does iTunes save the links to the original files so it can simply be changed?
    In the iTunes Library file, which cannot be manually edited.

  • Where is firefox setup 7.0.1.exe saved. Cannot find it after downloading it.

    Trying to download Firefox 7.0.1.exe for my IronKey. I click save but it does not allow me to type where to save it and I cannot find it once it is saved.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Cannot find object after creating dimension and cube.

    I need to develop a project using olap api to get olap data.
    My db release is 10.1.0.2, owb is 10.1.0.4.
    After i create dimension and cube in owb, I cannot find any object i have created in owb. Except that in OEM, after i click the button dimension, there comes an message as that the dimension does not have complete metadata or was created by old release and OEM will create a metadata for it. After that, I can find the dimension in AWM and get the imformation using olap api.
    However, there is no measure button in OEM, I cannot find the measures in measure folder. So that i cannot get the information of the MdmMeasureDimension using olap api.
    Can somebody help me with this issue? Thanks!

    With OWB 10.1 and prior releases to get OLAP metadata for a dimension or cube you must have used the OWB transfer wizard to deploy the OLAP metadata. This bridge basically creates and executes a script with all of the CWM calls to create the OLAP dimension and cube metadata.
    When you deployed the dimension from OWB in 10.1 it only created the 'create dimension DDL' for the object.
    Cheers

  • Airport Utility CANNOT find Airport extreme?  HELP!

    I just bought a Airport Extreme (802.11n) and my Airport is just blinking amber... When I launch Airport Utility and scan for a wireless device it comes up with nothing. I cannot get past this step to setting up the Airport Extreme. Any help would be appreciated!
    What am i doing wrong? I have a feeling the Airport is not sending a signal out... is it defective? HELP.......

    Welcome to the discussions!
    The AirPort Extreme broadcasts a default wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx, where the 'x" can be either a number or letter. Look for this network and log onto it (there is no password required). Then open AirPort Utility to see if it can communicate with the AirPort Extreme.
    You may need to restart both the AirPort Extreme and your computer.
    An alternate (and probably better) method is to temporarily connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to establish a direct connection. You can disconnect the ethernet cable when you have the AirPort Extreme configured.
