Does AirPort Extreme support "loopback"?

Hi All,
My wife is has set up IIS 5.1 on a PC running Windows XP (with SP2) to serve a web page on our intranet. It seems to be set up correctly, but none of the computers on our intranet (PC or Mac) can access the page - although we can ping the server and it can ping us.
Research indicates that we need to configure the router (an Airport Extreme - the flat square type) to forward traffic on port 80 to the IIS server's IP address. This research also indicates that this will only succeed if the router supports loopback. I've done a bit of searching and have not been able to find documentation to confirm or deny whether the AirPort Extreme supports loopback.
Does it?
Thank you,
Jonathan L.
PS - The firmware on the AirPort Extreme is up to date. - J

If you could follow up with the resource you used to get that information, I'd appreciate it, but it's not essential.

  • Does Airport Extreme support Static Routes?

    I have client using an Airport Extreme as their Router. They currently connect to another device outside their network using AppleTalk.
    It is planned to put this device onto TCP/IP but on a different subnet (e.g. their subnet is 192.168.5.X and the device will be on say 192.168.25.X). Does Airport Extreme support (like other Routers) the ability to set up a static link to a device on a different subnet (can’t find any information in a doco or the utility) or do they need to replace this with a “real“ router?

    Sure, I could do something like route add -net 10.100.10 192.168.0.100 on every client machine on the subnet, but there is no such way to configure a web cam and similiar devices
    Any idea, Apple?

  • Does airport extreme support nat loopback?

    ...Like having my own server on my lan and access it the same way from inside my lan as from outside...
    On my old Xyxel I have to enable this by typing "ip nat loopback on" in it's terminal window...
    Anyone that know how this works with an airport extreme base station?

    or is it written in some specification for the AirPort device?
    NAT Loopback is not ever mentioned in any Apple specifications or installation manuals that I can locate.
    In addition, there are no settings for NAT Loopback in AirPort Utility, the application that must be used to configure the AriPorts.
    If Apple makes no mention of this setting, and the setting does not even exist in the configuration software, it is a good bet that NAT Loopback is not supported on the Apple product.

  • Does AirPort Extreme support external drives with Advanced Format (4K) ?

    Hi!
    I have an AirPort Extreme from 2008 and now i want to use a Raid 1 USB HDD for Time Machine.
    The new disks often has the new "Advanced Format" (4K blocks).
    Does this APE support such 4k drives?
    At the moment i don't have any experience with this new format,
    for this reason i don't know if the APE or the hdd case has to support this format.
    regards
    Sebastian

    1) I'm using a simple USB Disk, connected to my APE, as Time Machine Backup Volume. This works quite well for about a year.
    Yes, for a few folks it does appear to work for a number of days, weeks, or months. But sooner or later, the backups turn up corrupted, often beyond repair. It happens to me about eery 3 months, which seems fairly typical. That's likely why Apple doesn't support it, and nobody should depend on it.
    2) The RAID Case shows only a single disk to the connected device, raid 1 handling ist internal and so it's again just a simple usb disk.
    Correct. I didn't say otherwise. In a supported location, Time Machine will back up to a hardware RAID set (but not a software one).
    3) The link with the supported disks doesn't handle the new disk format 4k. :-/ Maybe the support entry is too old.
    Note that it's a 2008 Airport Extreme; that predates the support article by at least a couple of years.
    But by all means, call AppleCare if you don't believe the support article.

  • Does Airport Extreme support Bethere.co.uk?

    Hi,
    I would like to buy an Airport Extreme router to connect it with my bethere.co.uk ADSL 2+ connection. Currently, I'm using bethere's modem but would like to change to Airport Extreme since it supports 802.11n. Is this possible, if yes, how do I do that?
    Thanks!

    The Airport Extreme Base Station does not have a built in DSL modem. Therefore, you must continue to use whatever DSL modem you are currently using (which hopefully has an ethernet interface for connecting to computers), and cable it to the Airport Extreme Base Station's ethernet WAN port.

  • Up to how many Mbps does airport extreme support?

    I'm considering buying an airport extreme, but did not find info on how many Mbps. If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks.

    Suffice it to say it is faster than any known consumer broadband Internet.
    Its ridiculously fast speed is most useful for local file transfers over your LAN - Time Machine backups, NAS streaming etc.

  • Does Airport extreme support Samsung SCX-3200 printer?

    I have a Samsung SCX-3200 printer (USB connection only) at home. We have both Mac and Windows based laptops. I would like to use Airport to connect to this printer over wireless. I am worried about the compatibility of the printer with the Airport.

  • Does the new airport extreme support backing up via time machine to an external hard drive pluged into the usb port

    Does the new airport extreme support backing up via time machine to an external hard drive pluged into the usb port

    Yes, but you might want to note that the port on the AirPort Extreme is only USB 2.0, and that it runs at about half the speed of the USB 2.0 port on a computer, so things are going to be quite SLOW as far as backups are concerned, or anything else for that matter.

  • Does the Airport Extreme support HP cp1025?  There are two versions of the printer the cp1025 and cp1025nw.  I have the cp1025, and can't set it up. Is there a list of AE/bonjour supported printers?

    Does the Airport Extreme support HP cp1025?  There are two versions of the printer the cp1025 and cp1025nw.  I have the cp1025, and can't set it up.
    Is there a list of AE/bonjour supported printers?

    Bonjour is a transport protocol. It also provides a means of advertising a printer on a network.
    Any list that shows printers that support Bonjour is generally an indication that the printer itself supports this protocol, meaning that when it is connected to the network, you can see it in your default Add Printer browser. In the case of the Airport, it also supports the Bonjour protocol and will advertise any printer that is connected to its USB port. The printer itself does not have to support Bonjour. The Airport performs this function. And like many lists, they are not kept up to date because each vendor releases several new models every quarter or half year.
    There are definitely printers that don't work when connected to the USB port of the Airport. And this is more that the printer driver does not support this type of connection, mainly due to the port not supporting bidirectional communications which some printer drivers require. The Canon UFR2 and CAPT drivers are a good example of this limitation. But this is only the Mac drivers. The Windows equivalent drivers work fine when the printer is connected to the USB port.
    So with you having an issue with the Windows drivers then I don't think it is a case of them not supporting Bonjour but more to do with some other component not functioning when the printer is shared by the Airport. The error message appears to have more to do with local user rights which is probably driver related. I've seen some printers that you cannot use the Windows Add Printer wizard to add them. Instead you have to use the vendors utility because of some proprietary protocol being used. Maybe this is one of those?
    Now that you seen how it should work based on when you used the C3188, if you still get that error message at point 6 of adding the C1025 then it would suggest a driver compatibility issue with the Airport - which is not necessarily a Bonjour compatibility issue. So unless there was another model of HP printer driver that you could use to this C1025 and that was also compatible with the USB port of the Airport Extreme, then I would suggest your best action is to replace the printer with a model that does work. Maybe even one that has builtin wireless so you don't have to use the USB port of the Airport.

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • Can the AirPort Extreme support more than one printer at a time?

    can the AirPort Extreme support more than one USB printer at a time if it is connected to a USB Hub?

    can the AirPort Extreme support more than one USB printer at a time if it is connected to a USB Hub?
    Yes.....IF.....you use a powered USB hub.
    I have had 3 printers connected at the same time in the past and assume that more would work as long you have a powered hub to support the number of ports that you need.

  • Does Airport Extreme work will with AT

    Does Airport Extreme work will with AT&T Microcell for the iPhone 4?

    The AT&T Microcell will plug into one of the Ethernet ports on your AirPort Extreme.
    The AirPort Extreme will work just fine. Whether the Microcell works well is totally up to AT&T.

  • How far does airport extremes range go

    how far does airport extremes range go

    Apple says up to 300 feet or so, but since tests like this are performed in a very large room with no walls, the specification won't mean much to most of us in the real world.
    Bottom line is that it is not possible to make a good guess about distance capabilities in a home without knowing the number of walls and or ceilings the signal must pass through.
    (A typicall wall of sheetrock and 2 by 4s will absorb on average about 15-20% of the signal and a ceiling absorbs more because it is thicker).
    As a very rough guide...if the signal from the wireless router must pass through 4-5 walls, or a ceiling and 2-3 walls, then there won't be much of it left by the time it reaches a computer or other wireless device.

  • Airport extreme supporting jumbo frames?

    Hello,
    I need to debug a problem of web site access when jumbo frames are enabled. Do you know if Airport Extreme support them? I don't know exactly the generation of the base but its serial is C86FW5NJDM72.
    Regards.

    The 5th generation AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) keeps the exact same revision of the mainboard (including the same SoC, 128MB of DDR2, 16MB flash, and GigE switch) as the 4th generation. What changed is that Apple designed the board to accommodate a new modular WLAN radio card. Instead of the Marvell 88W8366 WLAN of the 4th generation, the 5th generation 5 now has a dual Broadcom BCM4331-based configuration ... so the improvements would mainly be on the wireless side.
