Dial up connection possible with airport?

Hello, I have a dial up connection for my desktop and am considering buying an airport express so that my laptop can connect with the dial up connection (and I won't have to pay for another phone line) is this the way it works?
Thanks,
Ben

You can set-up internet sharing on the desktop and both computers can share the same connection. It is however quite a complicated set-up, and would be very slow if both computers try to access the internet at the same time.
If you don't need them to both connect at the same time why not just connect both modems to the same line ?

Help! iMac would not Connect/Find with Airport Extreme

Strange issue. I used to connect my Airport extreme with iMac, until recently iMac could not join with aiport. Instead my iMac connected to my neighbor's network. I'm using Time Warner cable.
However, my MBP and my Dell laptop could connect to my airport. Any ideas what could interfere with my iMac? I already called the Tech support and even went to the Apple store, they all said is the iMac since the iMac was able to connect with all the airports at the store. The tech support suggested me to move my airport to a room with less interference. Is that right? the iMac or the airport should I move?
We spent 2 hours, resetting back to factory setting and still iMac could not join Airport Extreme.
Any suggestions or advices are appreciated.

Thank you for your e-mail, Duane. Yes, the airport express (hooked up to my stereo in the dining room) does receive iTunes from my G5 in the office. The light is a blinking yellow, but it still receives the signal.
Last night, I was able to get an internet signal on my eMac (with airport extreme card installed) from the VersaLink router that my G5 uses in the office!
I figured out that the eMac and G5 were obviously not communicating with each other, and went to the Airport icon on the top of both screens to make sure that the Location Names were correct. I discovered that I needed to change the G5 from the Airport Express Location (stereo)to the name of the eMac location (Master Bedroom). Then I got the network connection. I suppose to play iTunes to my stereo, I will have to change the location, again, right?
Another comment: I was rather amazed that, after at least an hour and a half phone conversation with three different technicians, no one came close to this solution. And I'm paying for technical help (two years left on a three year contract)! Evidently, it is not common knowledge that a wireless router and an airport extreme card with mini-antenna can communicate? I came close to buying an Airport Extreme Base Station because I thought that I might need it!!!
So, I'm thinking I'm in the right ballpark but would welcome any more comments.
Thanks for listening.

Time Capsule Connectivity Problem with Airport Utility and Mavericks

I have a Time Capsule from 2011 which worked perfectly with my IMac and Airport Utility 5.6.1 but since the upgrade to Mavericks, I cannot get it to work with Airport Utility. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

When you say.....
I cannot get it to work with AirPort Utility....
What does not work? Can you open up AirPort Utility and take us through the steps? What happens after each step?

Several PC and Mac connectivity issues with Airport Extreme Base Station

Hello,
This is not all necessarily airport base station related, but there is some crossover, so I'm posting all of these issues...
Here is the laundry list of things that I can't make work in a home network that contains a PC w/ XP Home, MacBook 1.83 w/ 10.4.7, and Airport Extreme Base Station w/ Modem.
1. Can't see the PC from the Mac.
a. "Connect to server -> Browse" does not find the PC
b. "ipconfig" on PC provides valid looking IP address
c. ping from mac to PC IP address times out
d. Firewall on XP is disabled via control panel
b. Windows file and printer sharing is enabled
2. Can't see mac from PC
a. Windows file sharing enabled on mac
b. Firewall on mac disabled
c. I used \\MacIPAddr\shortusername
d. ping times out
3. Using dial-up to access internet, how do i tell airport to dial using PC?
a. this feature is working fine from mac
b. If already connected (via instruction from mac), can surf the internet fine from PC
c. Is this even possible from the PC?
4. Can't see printer connected to base station from PC
a. See it fine from mac
b. How do i "find" the printer on the PC?
c. Is Bonjour required for this? (I don't have it on the PC yet)
5. Can't see a "shared" printer on the PC from the mac
a. printer is connected directly to PC
b. Mac's add printer wizardry looks like it may "see" the printer, but then it asks for username and password for PC. This is XP home, with no usernames or passwords. Single user. Nothing seems to work in the credentials pop-up dialog.
Any suggestions on any of these issues is very welcome.
Thanks

2011 Mini Gigabit Speed not possible with Airport Extreme

I am unable to connect my 2011 Mac Mini to my Airport Extreme at Gigabit speeds. If I use a Motorola SBG6580 as a router I am able to achieve Gigabit speed. If I use my Airport Extreme or my Airport Express (both new in 2012), I am immediately kicked back to 100 Mbit speeds.
I have already eliminated the wiring as possibility.
Anyone have any suggestions? Am I just out of luck if I want to use Apple to Apple devices? I only noticed this after upgrading to Mavricks, is this possibly the answer?

Hello woodmeister50,
I think I found the root cause this morning. I took my wife's MBP to all my network outlets in my house. All connect at gigabit speed, execpt for that one outlet. It connects at 100 Mbit. I switched the position on the main switch, same result. I think something is wrong with the wiring in the wall, although it is marked as CAT 5e. I may have to rerun that outlet. Who woudl have thought...
Thanks again for the responses.

HT1281 Is this no longer possible with Airport Utility 6.1 ???

I would like to "Archive" our Time Capsule Drive to an external using the USB port, as outlined in the above article for Airport Utility 5.3.1 "or later", but this function does not appear in 6.1. Is it possible? If not, why not?!

It is not a function provided in v6 utility.
Why?? Because Apple decided you don't need it. And what Apple decides is for your best interest.. you just say thankyou sir for making all my decisions for me.. it makes life easier when I am ruled .. etc.
It is slow.. and the TC will be out of action as far as backups while it does it. But IMHO there was no need to scrap it.
Apple have a set of instructions on backing up the TC.. with USB plugged into the computer.. this is actually much faster.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5096
The best way if you do still want to use archive.. and lots of other things that got eliminated in v6 toyland utility.. is to install v5. This is not that difficult even on Mountain Lion.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
I have both available on the Mountain Lion MBP I have.. I only use the v6.1 to answer support questions though.. as it adds nothing and is a subset of v5 tools.

FTP connection possible with J2ME?

Hi all,
Does anybody if it is possible to make an FTP connection for a J2ME midlet (like you would make an http connection). If so, how can I do this and where could I find some information about this?
Kind regards

In MIDP 1.0, only HTTP support is required. With only HTTP, you could set up a custom proxy (which could be a Java servlet, CGI script, etc.) that does FTP on behalf of the client. So the client would make an HTTP request to, say, http://www.example.com/ftpProxy?url=ftp%3A%2F%2Fftp.example.com%2Ffoo%2Fbar, and the server-side ftpProxy program would fetch and return the specified FTP URL.
Some phones support raw sockets, in which case a proxy wouldn't be needed and you could implement FTP yourself (by reading the appropriate RFC). But this wouldn't be very portable as there are J2ME MIDP phones that only support HTTP.

Intermittent re-connect problem with airport extreme 802.11n

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my 802.11n airport extreme. When my MacBook goes to sleep, it does not reconnect the my WPA2 personal wireless network. This problem happens about 80% of the time.
I have updated the Airport Extreme firmware to 7.1. I have installed the recent AirPortExtremeUpdate2007002. I am running 10.4.9 and everything is updated according to software update.
Apr 18 22:13:24 computername /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: WirelessAssociate2() = 88001007 for network spiderweb. An unexpected error occured.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Yes, i am having a problem similar to this. Although my macbook does not go to sleep overnight, i always wake up to see it either 1) not connected to the wireless lan anymore or 2) having a self-assigned IP that doesn't work for the internet.
The only solution to get things working again is to unplug both the modem and the router and then plug the modem back in and then plug the router back in. Very annoying.
But yes, that is the message i get from Console.

Ethernet/wireless connectivity issues with Airport Express

I am having problems with my PC seeing my newly aquired AE and was hoping someone can help, none of the topics already discussed seem to be exaclty the same as my issue.
Scenario:
* iTunes on the PC does not detect the AE so I cannot play my iTunes setup through my stereo.
* The PC can ping the AE.
* The PC can configure the AE if I open the AirPort utility and go to File, Configure Other and enter teh units details.
* Both laptops can connect to the AE via iTunes and the AE Utility also picks up the device.
Equipment
* I have an Open Networks 625W 4 port ADSL router with wireless included in the unit.
* My PC is connected to my LAN via ethernet and is running Windows Vista fully service packed.
* I have two laptops both connected via wireless on my LAN and all devices (ethernet and wireless) can see each other.
* I have an AE with latest firmware and the latest version of the Airport Utility running.
* The bonjour service is running on the PC.
* I have tried turning the PC's F/W off with no change.
* I have tried connecting one of the laptops to my network via ethernet and had the same issues as the PC.
Configuration:
I have tried many different methods of configuration but the one that has me working this far is-
* Joined to a wireless network.
* Using DHCP (and getting IP addresses fine off the third party router)
* Connection sharing is off by default so its working in bridged mode.
Its almost as if the router is not allowing those packets related to Airtunes to pass through from/to the wireless router(and I have tried so many different settigns there). I believe Bonjour is required and Im not sure if any routers have issues with bonjour but I believe its encapsulated within IP packets (not sure on that though). Or Maybe some routers don't work in this scenario and I need to update to a Belkin Wireless G or N or other. Or maybe the software will only accept direct wireless connections if its configured for wireless - I have no idea and am losing hair fast.
Please, any help would be appreciated.

I finally cracked it!
I have enabled dynamic routing with RIP v2 (v1 works too), enabled multicast with IGMP proxy and used a bridge filter allowing all traffic between the LAN and the wireless networks. All three settings are required with my router. If I drop any of them AE from LAN to wireless will not work.

Connection dropping with Airport base station but not other routers

i have and airport express base station and two macs: a PBG4 running 10.4.6 and an old ibook running 9.2. just in the last few weeks the internet connection (DSL), which has been rock solid stable, has become intermittent. i will be working away with a fast internet connection and then it will drop, sometimes for as long as 10 minutes. when i am at work with the PDG4, i never experience this problem (work has a linksys router). i have been reading about airport problems but it seems they are with the airport software. what doesn't make sense to me is why i don't ever have the problem at work but i do at home. any thoughts on my problem because it is REALLY frustrating at home.

to add to this description, my email always works, even when my web browsing craps out...

Is this setup possible with airport extreme?

I have airport extreme in my office, this is connected to my cable modem. I have a ethernet cable at the wall that goes to my On-Q box which is basically the point in my house where all the wires in my house run to. Here I have several other rooms wired for ethernet.
Can I plug the ethernet cable into one of the ethernet ports on the airport extreme then in my On-Q box upstairs use a switch to connect my other ethernet ports in the house?
I would think I would need a ethernet switch correct?
Will the airport extreme give out multiple ip address over one ethernet port?
Thanks,
Jason

Yes to all your questions.

Mac Mini Bluetooth Connections Issues with Airport Extreme

Hi,
The issue I'm having is my apple bluetooth devices will not connect to my mac mini. This problem started a few weeks ago and i have narrowed it down to my Airport Extreme which is right next to my Mac Mini. I have tried adjusting the channels and removing the Wide channel option on the Airport Extreme this has helped I can use my magic pad (not really up to par but it works). When I disconnect my Airport all my bluetooth devices work great. Moving my airport extreme isn't an option without a large amount of work putting in a new cable outlet. I don't know what changed from a few weeks ago as the devices have always been within inches of each other and worked fine.
I was trying to find a way to disable the 2.4 band on the airport extreme but this for as far as i know can't be done. I'm running out of ideas on what to do next any help would be great.

Are you sure it's not the monitor? Monitors have been known to do this.
Try changing the broadcast channel on the AEX using the Airport Utility.

Trying to connect tv with airPort I have DISH network.

trying to set up the wifi for my tv. we have DISH network. it shows my network name twice and ive put my airport extreme password in both, but it doesnt connect.
the DISH instruction says to push the connect button on the rounter--which the airport extremee doesnt have . so im not making a connection. I see nothing covering this in the setup guide. Help?????

The X-box is looking for the hexadecimal equivalent password, not the clear text passphrase. Use the AirPort Admin Utility to check the password, it can be found at the top of the window (the Padlock icon).
