Does the Airport Extreme support Port Fowarding?

I'm trying to get the remote access for my HP Media Server running through my airport extreme.

of course it does. Read the help documents for more information.
open the airport utility application that should have been installed from the disc that came with the device. Then click the help menu item and pull down to airport help.

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?

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.

Does the Airport extreme provide any sort of usage reporting? Either per user or aggregate usage of the broadband port

No. You may be able to retrieve that information from your ISP.

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 the Airport Extreme work w/Time Capsule (as prior info. said?)

Seems to me that any person contemplating the purchase of a new Airport Extreme should at least be able to see both what it is and is not capable of doing... Time Machine does not support a properly mounted Airport Extreme disk. Period. Unless this is the darker side of the product-- or lest this technical incompatibility is found to be "inappropriate" subject matter, I see no reason why this is not a valid technical question to be answered by Apple.
Why does the AE not fully support the feature-set of Leopard? Time Machine incompatibility is a serious and costly issue for all of us who bought AE's just weeks prior to Leopard's release...
Apple did indeed state (prior to release), that Leopard and Time Machine would fully support the Airport Extreme's disk-mounting feature. This is no longer the case, however, and it seems that Apple simply does not want this subject to be brought to light... This is a technical problem that can (and should) be solved via new software for the AE, or within Leopard itself.
I have been told to "call Customer Relations about this instead"-- however, no phone number was provided. In my experience, that department has proven to be incredibly difficult to connect with via Tech. Support. Why can't this issue be addressed here? Technical. Software. Hardware. Leopard.

Not really. Its a missing feature, not an incompatibility. Incompatibilities are things that a product should be able to do but can not due to conflicts. The AEBS was never compatible with the retail version of Time Machine, nor was it every said to be compatible with the retail version so its is a missing feature.

Does the airport extreme replace current wifi router?

I'm not much of a techie so please forgive my ignorance! I have just had BT internet installed with the Home Hub 4. It seems to work with my macbook, iphone, work's windows laptop etc. However, it will not connect to my wifi blu-ray player as apparently the hub does not have DLNA support (I don't know what that is but I think it's relevant). So could someone tell me if the airport extreme would solve this problem? Also, would I plug the airport straight into the phoneline or does it connect to the current hub? Finally, my main phoneline (and apparently the only one I can use for phone/internet) is in the main bedroom which means there is not full signal in the lounge, so would the airport provide better strength?
Sorry for all the questions!

No, it won't.

Only if you locate the AirPort in the lounge and connect it to the Home Hub 4 using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection.

Does anyone know if the USB on the Airport Extreme supports USB 2.0?

I am looking for an external hard drive to connect to the Airport USB connection. I am looking a a 750Gig eSATA/USB 2.0 Micronet G-Force drive. Does anyone know if this will work?

Yes, it'll work.

Does the Airport Extreme manage its own DNS tables??

Ok so from my experience with my new Airport Extreme it does not manage its own DNS. Am I wrong in thinking that? I have my modem setup in bridge mode so my Airport will get my external IP via DHCP. Now I am only able to ping other workstations in my local network via IP and client ID if I manually force my Airport to use a DNS service like OpenDNS. If I leave the Airport as is and let it acquire its own DNS settings it will try and use my modems IP. So when that happens I cant access any of my workstations. What am I doing wrong here???

Using AirPort Utility, the setup and configuration application for the AirPort routers, it is easy to change DNS settings to another value of your choice...which all network devices will use.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click the picture of the AirPort, then click Edit
Click the Internet tab at the top of the window
Position the cursor at the beginning of the first DNS entry and type over the existing value
Do the same for the second DNS field
Click Update and alllow a full minute for the AirPort to restart

Does the SLM224G switch support port-based VLAN's?

I am looking for a simple solution to create two LAN's. One for my own and one for my customers, who will be able to use desktop PC's with internet access. I have only one internet connection (DSL over ISDN) and wil not getting another just for my customers.
My own network should not be accessible or visible to users who are using the customers-PC's. The other way around is allowed, but not really necessary. My setup requires me to hook up the switch to the (ISP) router, and that router just has one LAN port not able to do anything related to VLAN's.
I read about port-based VLAN's here, where it is stated that creating seperate LAN's is just putting ports into VLAN's on the switch, nothing else needs to be done... However, they used a NetGear smart switch.
I checked out Cisco's SLM224G as it is affordable, has 24 ports (instead of 8 for the NetGear) and should support VLAN's. I have read a lot about VLAN's, including:
"- Port-based VLAN's means that you can reconfigure ports to be in different VLAN's. Port-based VLAN's do not confirm 802.1q VLAN support.
- 802.1q VLAN's means that you can tag VLAN's with 802.1q headers to create a trunk between two devices that carries frames for multiple VLAN's. 802.1q VLAN's confirm that there is also Port-based VLAN support."
I known from the spec sheets that the SLM224G supports 802.1q (tagged) trunking. So it should, given found text above, also support port-based VLAN's.
My question is whether it indeed will support port-based VLAN's?
Am I able to use it directly behind my ISP's router and create two seperate LAN's?
If so, one extra question: how are the PC's behind the switch (inside the two VLAN's) get their IP-adresses from the ISP-router? Or will it service only one of the two LAN's and should I install a DHCP-server in the other LAN?
Any information is very welcome!
Thank you.

Thanks for your responce, mr. Carr.
I have read more about vlan's and their setup. I think the article about port based vlan's was lacking some information about the router/firewall. May be it was set up to work with different vlan's from the start. Strangely, in the text it is said that nothing needs to be set up besides the (Netgear) vlan-capable switch.
So, from your response and other texts I learned I needed a vlan-capable router. I have to say that I need to be able to manage a server on the LAN from the outside (internet). I already tried to set up a Cisco/Linksys WRT54G router behind the ISP's (ZyXel) single LAN-ported router and that would not work at all (even when the Linksys was set in router-mode). I lost the connection to internet setting it up that way. I even tried to setup the Linksys in the DMZ of the ZyXel, with no luck. I was unable to set that up with working internet-access form the LAN. So I was not too happy with the suggestion to set up a (second) vlan-capable gigabit router behind the ISP's router....
Eventually, I bridged the ZyXel to get rid of the double NAT/gateway mode of the two routers as routing mode did not work on the Linksys. The Linksys is now getting the WAN-ip from the ISP on it's WAN port and I furthermore used DD-WRT's firmware to enable the build-in vlan-capabilities of the Linksys.
Now I have set up the Linksys with two vlan's and I bought the SLM224G as an inexpensive manageable 24-port vlan-capable switch to provide the number of ports I needed. I devided the SLM in two vlan's and used two wires from the Linksys to the SLM. So the SLM does support port-based vlan's by simply setting up two ranges of ports with different PVID settings. Trunking and 802.1q tagging isn't needed that way. I know I could have used two dumb switches to get two separate subnetted networks, but this way I get just enough ports in a single device where I have ample space to put it.
Anyway, thanks for helping me understanding the way vlan-capable switches work.

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.

HT3546 Does the Airport Extreme Base Station not work with the OS X Lion?

Ever since updated to OSX Lion can't get our airport station to work. Is it too old and won't work with this upgrade so do we need a newer airport?

Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion which should work with your older AirPort Extreme.
You can keep both AirPort Utility 6.1 and 5.6 on your Mac and use the one that you want or need at the time.

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.

Can I use the AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender to my Time Capsule ?

Can I use AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender ? I own a Time Capsule and want to extend my wireless network using the AirPort Extreme just because both have wifi AC. Also, does the AirPort Extreme need to be hook up via Ethernet if I extend

The problem with extending using a wireless connection between the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme is this.......
The extender can only "extend" the speed of signal that it receives. The signal starts to lose speed as soon as it leaves the Time Capsule, and the signal will lose quite a bit of speed as it passes through the ceiling due to the thick construction. The ceiling presents what is known as "interference" to the wireless signal.
So, the signal has slowed somewhat by the time that it reaches an AirPort Extreme that would be installed on the main floor. That AirPort Extreme acting as an extender can make the signal that it receives go further, but it cannot make it go faster. A better term than "extender" really might be "repeater".
If you install an AirPort Extreme on the main floor, the signal upstairs will be stronger than it is now, and depending on how many obstructions there are between the AirPort Extreme and the upstairs area, the signal may be noticeably faster upstairs than it is now as well.
With wireless connections between devices, there are always so many compromises and variables involved that it is just not possible to predict what the actual performance might be in your home until you try things out in your home. For that reason, it is always a good idea to understand the store's return policy in advance in case a new item does not deliver the performance that you are hoping to achieve.
Now, let's say that you are able to pull an Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule to the main floor, and the AirPort Extreme is connected there in a nice, central location. Then, you could expect to receive about the same performance on the main floor that you receive in the basement, since the AirPort Extreme is receiving a full speed signal over the Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule. You can run an Ethernet cable about 330 feet, or about 100 meters with virtually no signal loss.
The performance upstairs will improve as well, since the AirPort Extreme has a full speed signal to broadcast....not the slower speed signal that would receive from the Time Capsule if it connects using wireless.
If you want to achieve the same type of performance upstairs that you have in the basement and main floor, then you will need to pull an additional Ethernet cable up to the upstairs floor and add another AirPort there.
That would probably be the "best" wireless network system that you could install if you are looking at all the options. Few of us are lucky enough to be able to install the "best" network, but those that are receive remarkable wireless performance in return for their investment.

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.

Why does my airport extreme have 2 of the LAN port on but not the main light after a lightning strike ??!

pleasee help!!

Unfortunately, this is a symptom that a power surge has damaged the AirPort Extreme. There is likely nothing that can be done other than replacing the device.
If you have an Apple store or authorized servicer in your area, you should take it to them so they can have a look at the device to confirm. As user stinkybumbler mentions, it would be a good idea to have any of your sensitive electronic gear plugged into a high quality surge protection device.
