How can the Extreme have two IPs on one computer?

My computer or the Apple Extreme Base Station (AEBS) started having a problem recently while two other computers are still working fine!?
This network setup (described further below) was running fine for a month before one computer started getting unhappy.
PROBLEM SYMPTOMS:
The one computer can not get on the Internet. I checked the IP of the computer with the problem and it is 10.0.1.2 which was assigned by the AEBS. Subnets on everything involved are all 255.255.255.0. I tried to ping the router but could not reach it at 10.0.1.1 where it should be.
I bring up the Aipport Admin Utility and it lists the router at 254.128.0.0 !? I try to configure the router and it gets an error saying it can't connect. If I click the "Other" button and manually enter 10.0.1.1 to configure the router that works fine!
Two other computers (Win XP Pro and Windows 2000) are plugged into the same switch and they get to the router just fine.
Computer with a problem:
Windows XP Pro with SP 2 and all the latest security updates.
I'm running the Airport Admin Utility for Windows version 4.1.
Apple Extreme was purchased two months ago. Running Version 5.7.
SYSTEM SETUP:
The AEBS is set up to dial out (bummer but it's the option at this location) for Internet access. The WAN ethernet port is empty. The LAN ethernet port is connected to a Linksys 5 port switch - I don't have the version number right now but it was purchased 2 months ago.
The switch connects by ethernet cable to the XP Pro system that is having the problem and to the Windows 2000 system that is fine. A XP Pro notebook connects to the AEBS wirelessly without problem. Another notebook connects via cable to the switch or via wireless to the AEBS without problem.
The Airport Extreme is running version 5.7.
THINGS I'VE TRIED
Turning off all firewall software.
Uninstalling the Airport Admin Utility and reinstalling.
Removing the switch and going straight from the problem computer to the AEBS. No good.
Reseting the AEBS to factory settings and reconfiguring it.
Rebooting the XP problem computer.
Repairing the IP on the XP problem computer.
Resetting the switch.
Using different ports on the switch.
Do any of your rocket scientists have any suggestions?

Oops...I moved this to the Extreme forum since it has nothing to do with the Express

    Hey everyone,

    Yes. iTunes treats each device as a separate unit, and you can have different preferences for each.

  • Is it posible to have two libraries on one computer?

    My brother and I use the same computer for our iPod's. He is 12 and probably shouldn't have some of the same songs that I have. Is it posible to have two libraries on one computer?

    we each have our own user acounts in XP, but iTunes is present in all user accounts on the PC. So what I import or purchase to iTunes using my XP user is only seen by me or is it linked to all users?
    I appreciate your help with this!!!

  • Can you have two ipods on one computer?

    Ok I have a mac computer and an ipod nano and everything works great, but my mom is now getting an ipod nano. Is there a way to have two ipods on my computer, where each ipod has it's own library and account so we don't have to share all of our music?

    There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
    Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Mac
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

  • Can you have two iPods for one computer?

    I know nothing about iPods so please excuse me for this question that probably has an obvious answer. My sister has an iPod nano that she has been using with our computer for a long time. I just bought an iPod and was trying to set it up. So can I use her i tunes to put music on my ipod or how does it work? I am aware you are not supposed to steal music though. So what am I supposed to do?

    Yes, you can use 2 iPod with 1 computer quite easily.

  • I have windows, one computer but multi users. home sharing is on. how can i share music between users on one computer?

    I have windows.  One computer but multi users.  Home sharing is on. 2 apple accounts-1 per user. 4 devices-2 iphones and 2 ipods per user.  How can we share music  on one computer between 2 users?

    Hi Justinece, I've solved the problem in this way:
    In my wife user profile I've set in itunes settings/advanced the path to my music library: /Users/"MY NAME"/Music/iTunes/Itunes media.
    Than, from my wife profile using my administrator user and password I've set the "read/write" privileges on the above mentioned folder.
    Finally I've added the folder in my wife's library taking care to not duplicate it ( leave blank the flag in itunes setting/advanced).
    I really don't understand what's the use of home sharing...

  • Can we have two itunes on one computer?!

    Hello.
    My dad has just got an ipod shuffle for xmas, and was wondering if we can set up two itunes on our computer so we dont get songs mixed up etc - I cant seem to do this and his ipod has been registered on mine and so his music goes into my library - help

    It's possible to have multiple libraries in a single Windows user account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. The new library will be empty until you add content to it. To get back to your original library you need to close iTunes and open it again while holding down the shift key, this time choose to open an existing library and navigate to its location. Multiple libraries can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Another option is to create a separate Windows User account for each person on your PC. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Create A New User Account In Vista

  • How can I synchronize safely from more than one computer?

    First, I have set up my iPod to work with two computers: my primary computer, which is my desktop at home. Later, I also "authorized" my laptop (as a secondary source) to also be able sync to my iPod.
    My question is that when I go to synchronize some podcasts I just downloaded to my secondary computer (my laptop), I get the following prompt: "Are you sure you want to sync podcasts? All existing podcsts on the iPod '<my iPod's name>' will be replaced with podcasts from your iTunes library."
    From this message, since my iPod is plugged into my laptop, I assume it's referring to my iTunes library on my laptop (which only has the few podcasts I just downloaded). And it sounds like it's going to delete the podcasts that are already on my iPod.
    I definitely don't want it to "replace" the ones I already have sync'd from my home computer; +_I just want to add the ones I have downloaded to my laptop._+ How can I make it so I can safely add the new ones without disturbing those I already have sync'd and want to keep? I'm a bit confused about how syncing works when you have more than one computer to sync to the iPod.

    You cannot do what you want.
    The ipod touch can sync with ONE computer/library at a time.
    When you sync to a different computer/library, the ipod touch will first delete the current itunes content form the iphone, then it will sync the content from the new computer.
    This is the way it is designed.

    Hello Nousernamebrah
    Well get get your music from your old computer to your new computer, the old computer would have to work and turn on to access the files to be copied over. You also can access any previous purchased music and download it to your new computer as well. Check out the articles below for more information.
