Could the 10.4.10 update change one of my wireless network settings?

I am pretty new to macs (bought first one in April) so forgive my ignorance... after installing 10.4.10 I lost my airtunes connection to my Airport Express. After reading through the terrific Apple discussions I tried resetting the Airport Express (twice) back factory defaults, repaired permissions on the mini, reset my Netgear router and reinstalled the 10.4.10 update, all to no avail. I can see the AE in iTunes on the mini, but it simply won't connect - it tries but times out. And because all along I have been able to stream music to the same AE just fine with two Windows PCs, I don't think the Express is the culprit. So, my question is, what else should I try? Is it possible that the update changed some network-related parameter?? The mini worked perfectly with the AE for three months, right up until I loaded 10.4.10. I suppose I could downgrade to 10.4.9 but to be honest I am not sure I know enough about macs to try that yet.
Thanks!

Yes, I am beginning to suspect something broke from the 10.4.10 update. It seems I have been forced to manually enter my router address as a DNS server in the Network Preference Panel.
Copy the "Router" address and paste it in the "DNS Servers" field, then press "Apply".
This is more of a problem for portables, since you travel and your router address will change resulting in no internet. In that case, I suggest using the OpenDNS numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page): 
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Out of the blue, my ITouch is unable to access my wireless network ONLY when my PC has been turned on (PC is connected via Ethernet cable, and has no wireless capability as far as I know).  What gives?  It works fine when the PC is off.

    Out of the blue, my ITouch is unable to access my wireless network ONLY when my PC is on (the PC is connected via Ethernet cable, and has no wireless capabilities that I know of).  What gives?  When the PC is turned off, everything is totally fine.  I\m stumped. 

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    I suspect a problem with your router. Try changing the security. First use no security as a test.
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Try rebooting your router and or cable modem. Unplug it/them for about 30 seconds and then plug back in. See if it works then.
    Reboot your iPad as well.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Where do I find the wireless network settings (setting up brother MFC)

    Hi
    Sorry if this is a really dumb question but the bloke at Brother said he couldn't help me because I was asking about an Airport Extreme rather than a router....
    By way of quick background I am trying to connect my new Brother MFC-665CW to wirelessly.
    Question 1
    To do this my quick guide tells me I need to:
    1. Write down the wireless network settings of your access point or wireless router.
    SSID
    WEP key (if needed)
    WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) (if needed)
    (I do know I have set up WPA Personal security on my wireless network via my airport extreme and have a 13 letter password.)
    Question 2
    Later in the instructions it asks me to select TKIP or AES - how do I know which one?

    Question 1
    To do this my quick guide tells me I need to:

    SSID
    WEP key (if needed)
    WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) (if needed)
    The SSID would be the same as the AirPort Network Name. Since you set up WPA Personal wireless security on the base station, the type would be WPA-PSK w/TKIP.
    Question 2
    Later in the instructions it asks me to select TKIP or AES - how do I know which one?
    You'll want to choose TKIP. AES is only used with WPA2 Personal.

    Hi, I am unable to reset all settings.. I don't remember the pass code.. I am able to reset network settings and other settings. Can someone please help

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

  • Did the 10.5.5 update change emacs?

    I use the program emacs for my CSCI 102 course. I launch the application through X11 while connected to one of my school's servers.
    I've noticed since the 10.5.5 update that the font looks different, and it beeps when I unintentionally use my mousewheel (and in other cases). Is this 10.5.5's doing or something else?
    (Not that it's a problem, just wondering what happened and if there are any new features I should be aware of.)

    Are you running emacs on your school server and displaying the output back on your Mac?
    If that is the case, you are running the emacs version on the school server, and X11 is the only component you are using on your Mac.
    And if I'm correct, then it is more likely a change in X11.

  • Question about changing a Snow Leopard Server network settings

    We have an Xserve running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8, the primary services running on it are afp, smb, dhcp, dns, jabber and the calendar sever.
    Right now we have a router connecting two networks together, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. The Xserve has a static IP address in the 192.168.0.0/24 range.
    In order to combine two phone systems into one I am required to combine the above networks, this will involve removing the router and changing the subnet mask on every device from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.254.0, any device that is currently part of the 192.168.1.0/24 network will also need to have it's router setting changed from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1. That part should all be easy.
    However, this is my first experience expanding a network past a standard class C and am wondering if there is anything I need to watch for on my Snow Leopard Sever.
    Specifically I wonder about dhcp settings, right now there are two dhcp servers, the Xserve which provides dhcp for 192.168.0.0/24 and the router that provides dhcp for 192.168.1.0/24. Once the router is removed the Xserve will need to provide dhcp for the entire network.
    Looking at the Xserve dhcp configuration right now I have one subnet defined providing addresses 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.125.
    Can I simply click the + to add another subnet and add for instance a range of 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.125?
    Will it simply give out all of the ip addresses in the first range and then start with the 2nd? Or do I need to find a single range of ip addresses large enough to meet my needs? (e.g. 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.225 or something).
    Is there anythign else to watch for after making this type of network setting change?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for your very detailed reply.
    I understand the problems that can arise using 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x and if this were a new project I would definitely switch to something else, however in this case we have been using these ip ranges for years (they were in use here long before I started) and I don't want to have to redo all of my dns settings at the same time I make these other changes so I'm going to stick with the same ip's we are using at least for now. Anyone here needing vpn access has already dealt with this issue but we  have very few vpn users so it has not been a major problem for us to date.
    My biggest question is about increasing the size of the dhcp pool. For instance, after I change all the network settings and set up a /23 network is it possible to have a single dhcp pool that includes some ip's in the 192.168.0.x range and others in the 192.168.1.x range? I guess what I am asking is when I am in Server Admin and click on DHCP one of the tabs across the top is "Subnets". Right now there is a single "subnet" configured that provides addresses from 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.125.
    Ideally I would like one dhcp pool that provides ip's in the range of 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.125 and then if all of those are used up, moves to 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.125. Can I do that by simply adding another "Subnet"  so there are two? Or do I have to find one larger single range? (e.g. 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.225?) You may have already answered this indicating I have to have a single larger range but I just want to be sure.
    The parts about changing subnet masks, and routers and all that I think I have a pretty good understanding of.
    Your last paragraph is something I have been worried about, I do have a feeling that after making this change there will probably be unforseen issues that will need to be resolved, I'm just hoping it is not too many. For the scope of this thread I will just focus on issues that may arise with the Snow Leopard Server however.
    Again, thank you for your help.

  • What is the password I need to type in for resetting my network settings?

    Hi, I have a problem. Because my phone can't make calls or send a message longer. I don't know why, but I think I can solve the problem bye resetting my network settings, but when I click "reset network settings" it just say type in the code. And I have no clue which code the phone want me to type in. First I thought they were talkin about my pin-code but I was wrong, I have also typed in my apple-ID code but that was wrong to. So if anyone can help me with which code I should type in please do that! And if there is a way to reset your network settings in itunes tell me that too! My phone is a iPhone 4 and I have changed the pin-code once( if that is important). I didn't do anything on my phone before this happened, and my mother has also an iPhone but she has iPhone 4s nothing has happened to her phone.

  • Getting the lock symbol to show up in list of wireless networks

    Hi all. Whenever I go to the top of my display and click on the airport symbol to see the list of wireless networks available, I always have to click each one individually to see if it is secured or not. I saw a friend's macbook and he has little lock symbols next to each network name in the dropdown list. How do I get this to show up??

    I have my own network that's secured and still no lock symbol. My friend's computer shows lock symbols for other random networks he can connect to if he need the passwords. I think there is an option to click somewhere I am not finding?
