Does the Airport Express support the DHCP BROADCAST flag

In trying to connect a vista laptop to an existing Airport Express Network and the internet, went ot MS Help and found an article saying Vista is set with a 0 (Zero) in the Registry (whatever that is).The comment is -
A value of 0 disables this registry entry. You can use this registry entry to prevent Windows Vista from using the DHCP BROADCAST flag. After you set this registry entry, Windows Vista never uses the DHCP BROADCAST flag.
Can someone who doesnt type in UNIX or DOS tell me what might work and if this even applies. I am not inclined to do the following -
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces \{GUID}
In this registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the network adapter that is connected to the network.
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
In the New Value #1 box, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, and then press ENTER.
Right-click DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
Close Registry Editor.
Hard wired to the Cable Modem the computer can connect to the internet without any of this. What in the Airport Express could be blocking this computer?

Sorry, none of the Apple products support this.

  • Does iTunes/Airport Express support speaker-specific volume control?

    Hi there,
    So say I have two Airport Expresses, one in the living room with speakers and another one in the bathroom with speakers. Can I setup the volume in the bathroom to be lower?
    Thanks.

  • Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"?  No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...

    Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"?  No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...

    Some cable providers.....like mine, a well known company......seem to take anywhere from a few moments to sometimes up to 30 minutes to allow their equipment back at the cable company to fully reset and issue a new fresh connection.
    So, it would not hurt to leave things powered down for 15-20 minutes or more when you perform the reset that John Galt suggests.

  • What does Airport Express Support

    I have been researching the airport express and i have heard that people have connected their xbox to it and of course the printer and stereo, but I would also like to plug in a hard drive with a powered usb hub. Does anyone have a setup like this or any advise?

    The +*Airport Express*+ supports a printer, but not a disk: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB321LL/A/AirPort-Express-AirTunes?fnode=MTY1N DA0Mg&mco=MTA4NTc4MTE
    You may want the +*Airport Extreme,+* which supports a printer and/or external HDs (but not Time Machine backups): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC340LL/A/AirPort-Extreme?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco =MTMzNzU2NDk

  • Does Airport Express support MAC spoofing?

    I'm using Comcast, Seattle which requires that I use a particular MAC address to connect to their network. In order to do this, I will need to get a router that supports MAC spoofing (i.e. setting AE to pretend to have another MAC address). Is this possible?

    Sorry, but no. None of Apple's Base Stations, nor the Airport Express, support MAC address cloning on the WAN port.
    If Comcast's system doesn't automatically re-register a new connection by power cycling the modem (as many systems do), certainly it should be possible for Comcast to manually register the MAC address of a new device cabled to their modem?

  • Airport Express and Vista DHCP - HELP ME!

    Hello,
    I have HP Pavilion model of laptop with Broadcomm Wireless chipset and Vista Home Basic on board. I am trying to connect to my Airport Express router but no way to obtain IP address from the router. On my Macbook everything work fine without any problems. Vista cannot connect to Airport, why, any incopatibility, how to fix it? I have read about DHCP Broadcast flag enabled in Vista, but I tried setting it to 0 and nothing. I am using closed network configuration and WPA2. No iTunes installed on Vista so far.
    Please any suggestions?

    Welcome to the discussions forum Gary.
    I can find nothing likely to be the instruction sheet you mentioned, but it shouldn't be necessary. What you probably need to do is download and install Apple's latest version of Airport Utility for Windows:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortUtility_5_4_1Windows
    If you can't see your Express in Airport Utility you might need to reset it, followed by reconfiguring it with Airport Utility: Resetting AirPort Express
    You might want to upload new firmware. The latest firmware for a two year old Express is version 6.3. Airport Utility contains that firmware and will tell you what to do if you need to do it.
    If you still can't see your Express, you might have some Windows firewall issue to cope with. Try turning your Windows firewall "off" temporarily, until you fix that problem.
    Your iTunes will be disturbing your neighbors again before you know it. Hope it helps!

  • Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

    Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

    I have a 1st gen Airport Express and use it to stream music from my PC, iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch. My Airport Express is connected to a Teac UD-H01 DAC via an optical cable which is connected to an amp and speakers. I had no problems at all with this set up until I upgraded the Airport Express firmware to 7.6.3. The sound then started to drop out frequently. To cut a long story short after various testing, the problem had to be the Airport Express. I called Apple support but they were not much help and couldn't fix the problem and said they would speak to engineering and phone back. While I was waiting I decided to have another go to find the problem and opened the airport utility and saw that there was an option to downgrade the firmware. At this point I realised that the problems started about the same time that I upgraded the firmware to 7.6.3 but didn't think at the time that Apple would release a firmware that didn't work. Anyway I downgraded to 7.6.1 and hey presto, everything worked again. A couple of days ago I noticed that firmware 7.6.4 was available and thought I'd give it a go, not good - same problem as 7.6.3. I've downgraded to 7.6.1 again and all is well. Hope this helps.

  • Does Final Cut Express support ProRes 1080p?

    Does Final Cut Express support ProRes 1080p?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    ProRes codecs was introduced with Final Cut Studio 2.
    You can't create a ProRes sequence in FCE, but if you've installed the +Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder 1.0 for Mac+ you will be able to import ProRes footage, but rendering or conversion will be needed.

  • How much electricity does an Airport Express use (approximately)?

    How much electricity does an Airport Express 802.11n use (approximately)?
    Is turning it off at night to save money a good idea or a bad idea?

    That's exactly the data I needed to know.  Thank you very much!
    I was concerned because the Express is always quite warm, which sometimes can mean big energy bills.......

    I've just measured it using a digital wattmeter, and it draws 4 watts when idle. This means about 3 kWh/month, or 0.60 €/month (at my current 0.20 € / kWh), so it is not the culprit of my huge energy bill...
    Surely it is not worth the hassle of unplugging it everyday, with the accelerated ageing it causes to the device.

  • Does an Airport Express require a wired connection to boost a Wi-Fi signal if I already have a wired Airport Time Capsule on the Network?

    I want to boost the Wi-Fi signal around my house. I have a 3TB Airport Time Capsule connected to my Virgin Media modem via a WLAN connection but wonder if an Airport Express device can be used at a remote location purely wirelessly - apart from a power connection obviously?

    Does AirPort Express require a wired connection.......if I already have a wired AirPort Time Capsule on the Network?
    No, but you will have much better network performance if you do wire the AirPort Express.
    The reason for this is that when you try to extend a network using wireless, you will typically lose about a half of the potential speed capability on the network.
    There is no network speed loss when you wire the Express.
    Here is what Apple's support document says about this:
    In the case of a wirelessly extended network, throughput may be reduced to less than 60 percent of that of a single device. The general rule is to keep the Wi-Fi network as simple as possible. You can accomplish this by using the minimum number of Wi-Fi base stations required to service the physical network area and by using Ethernet wherever possible.
    Extending the range of your Wi-Fi network by connecting Wi-Fi base stations together using Ethernet is always the best option, and will provide the best throughput
