How do I solve connection problems with Windows-PCs on a AirPort network?

I have a AirPort network with 1 AP Extreme (dual band)  in bridge modeextended with two dualband AP Express and one 1st gen. AP Express. With only Macs all computers connect without problem, but when introducing PCs running Windows (7 or 8) on my wireless network both Windows and Macs often get problems getting an IP-adress from my router. When resetting my router problem is solved for a while.
Anyone with a solution?

You're going to have to be more specific with the issues, errors and diagnostic messages that you are encountering, and what particular configuration you are seeing to establish.
Screen sharing is available from Mac to Mac, and from Windows once you load a VNC client on the Windows box such as TightVNC or some other VNC client, and configure and connect it.
Here are some notes on getting Windows file clients to connect to a Mac OS X Server SMB Samba file server; you have to drop some of the Windows security requirements to allow it to connect to the Mac OS X Server box.
Microsoft Office Outlook isn't traditionally used with mail servers other than Microsoft Exchange Server.  (While Outlook was good with Exchange Server and has likely gotten better over the years, it was classically rather poor when working with SMTP servers.)  More commonly, Outlook Express (and now called Windows Mail) is used for this, or Mozilla Thunderbird, or another SMTP-capable mail client.
One of the first things you will want to ensure here is correct and functional DNS on your LAN; other services are entirely dependent on DNS, and your ISP DNS cannot provide valid DNS for a LAN behind a NAT device.  Launch Terminal.app and issue the command sudo changeip -checkhostname and see if you get an indication that DNS is correct and no changes are required, or that there are DNS errors.  (You will need to enter an administrative password for the sudo command to be accepted.)
To connect and use a mail server on the Internet, you'll need to have a public static IP address and a correct public DNS configuration, or (far less desirably, and rather more complex) a way to tunnel from a non-static IP address over to a mail gateway service of some sort.  Having static IP and correct DNS is the usual approach.

  • IPOD CONNECTIVITY PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS XP VIA USB 2.0

    Enough is enough.
    I have an ipod touch and I am having difficulty connecting it to my pc via usb 2.0.
    I have searched the entire web and came across many cases similar or the same as mine. It's time for apple to face the fact that there is something wrong with either the apple mobile service or the apple usb drivers or the itunes software that causes connectivity problems with win xp.
    For the record my case is this:
    I got my itouch 3 days ago. I installed itunes 8.0. Then I plugged in my ipod to a usb extension cable port connected to a usb at the back of my desktop computer. At first I got the "this usb device can perform faster if you plug it to a usb 2.0 port etc." message. So I did. I removed the extension cable and connected it directly to one of the usb ports at the back. The first time it synchronized, it seemed fine. So I decided before I do anything with it, to update it to the 2.1 version. I made my account and bought (very bad policy there apple, it should be free or at least cheeper than 8 euro) the 2.1 update. I clicked to update the i-touch. While it was updating it crashed during the restore process (because it was disconnected but I didn't know that at the time). I unplugged it, resetted and plugged it back and managed to continue the restoring process until it was updated. After figuring out itunes I chose the "manage files manually option", kept everything unchecked in the sync options except the applications. I noticed there were random disconnections here and there but I didn't pay much attention because they weren't very frequent.
    The next day I plug in the touch again and suddenly I hear that annoying "connecting-disconnecting" sound from windows while my touch kept disappearing and reappearing in itunes. Suddenly my playlists disappeared from the touch. Nothing was in the touch any more. How could that happen since i had chosen to manage my files manually instead of synchronizing? So I unplugged the touch again, restarted the touch, restarted the pc, stopped and restarted the apple mobile service, unistalled and reinstalled itunes, searched microsoft support and read many usb troubleshooting documents in the web. Nothing happened. The touch randomly keeps disconnecting from the usb. I eventually managed to put my stuff back in and keep them there.
    Here's what I know:
    1) There is nothing wrong with my usb ports. I don't use usb hubs, they are usb 2.0, the voltage (500mA) is correct in the device manager. Everything else works fine there.
    2) The ipod touch does not support disk mode so you can't see it under "my computer" and this is not a problem.
    3)There is nothing wrong with the ipod, it works perfectly.
    4) This is not a usb cable physical problem.
    5) The five R's are irrelevant with this situation.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling itunes doesn't solve the problem, neither does hard resetting the ipod.
    6) Older PC configurations seem to be more affected by this but it doesn't have to do with unsupported specific chipsets.
    Here's what needs investigating:
    1) There may be a problem with the apple mobile service running on win XP.
    2) There may be a problem with the apple usb driver and win XP or older motherboards.
    3) There may be a 2.1 firmware issue with usb 2.0 connectivity.
    Workaround so you don't go nuts:
    Use USB 1.1 instead of 2.0. It is A LOT slower but it keeps the connection stable and you can work with the ipod. Just start copying and go do something else for the next hour. So far it works for me.
    This is a serious issue that needs immediate attention. I've stumbled across forum discussions dating to 2005 with this problem (with older ipods of course).

    I think this needs to be put down to the eternal PC/Mac argument. Apple dont want to fix this as they want everyone to buy a Mac. Its a business, understandable, but in turning away PC buyers they alienate a huge percentage of the market.
    Now, I had my first iTouch stolen. It synced, for the most part, very well, just occasionally it removed settings and music, but ticking boxes each time I sync'd sorted that, Its a workflow procedure.
    SO, now that my Touch has been replaced, iTunes cannot see it. The PC can identify it on USB1 or USB2, My work lap top can see it and has indeed upgraded it to V2 software, just in case that was the issue, but no. For some really weird reason Itunes on my desktop cannot see the new pod.
    This does not make sense with the argument that Apple software doesnt work on a PC, but doesnt help that none of the Apple support staff, phone or in-store have a clue about Windows operations.
    Because my Touch has now been trying to connect to 6 separate installs of itunes, multiple USB ports, multiple USB cables, a complete overhaul of the registry settings (everything else still works), and the loss of all my previous settings and backups from the last Touch... but still, the PC says its an ipod but cant install it, iTunes sits there, dumb.
    The only thing I can do now is sell the device as brand new as it has never had music on it and is just a week old...
    It has changed the MiniMac I was going to have for my new flat screen TV into a PC and suggests that anyone with a PC should stick to devices that run on PC, of which there are many, just without the user interface of the dear departed IPod Touch.
    Thanks

  • How do i solve the problem with repeated renew lease requests

    How can i solve the problem of repeated renew lease requests?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    You don't say what you are doing or trying to do. See #5 below.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netwhttp://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Apple Airport 802-11n connection problems with Windows 7

    I'm basically a MAC user, but my son is trying to get his Windows 7 Toshiba laptop to connect to my Apple 802-11n wifi. It will see the wifi, but when clicked on my network the connection fails before I get to input the password. Yet neighborhood 802-11n connections get to the password screen. The lap[top is a Toshibe satellite L755-S5107 running Windows 7.
    I'm not very savvy on PCs, so I don't know where to look for versions of his software et al.
    Anyone familiar with such problems?

    Toshiba may be doing something different than other manufacturers, so your best bet might be a Toshiba support site.

    Another source that may of some help is the Windows troubleshooting guide for WiFi connections:

    Not sure how much more help that we can provide on an Apple support site for Apple wireless routers.

  • Connectivity problems with Windows 7

    I have connectivity problems with a Windows 7 machine. It's just lose the wireless connection from time to time, usualy "forgeting" Default Gateway. Any ideas? Please not the same machine did work very well on previus router: the problems did start after I installed Time Capsule as the main gateway. Thanks a lot.

    Make sure you setup the TC with SMB compliant names.. short .. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
    Use fixed channels.. not auto. Set a different name for 5ghz so it doesn't get mixed up between bands.
    Check you have the latest drivers for the particular wireless card in the PC.. eg if a laptop don't download drivers from the laptop manufacturer.. get the ones from the wireless card.

  • How can I solve the problem with Adobe viewer/player ?

    Dear guys in Apple support team
    I have a MacBook Pro 13' late 2011, several months ago I updated my mac to mountain lion and I can say its really great operating system and I really enjoy working with it. The only problem I have is that more than twice a day while using my computer for reading a paper in PDF or in online PDF's or sometimes watching flash videos online, cooling fan starts to work faster and when I look up in the activity monitor, more than 60% of the CPU processing is engaged with Adobe player/viewer and I have to kill the process to stop cooling fan and release the cpu process. My adobe products are in the latest update and there should not be any problem about that.
    Please help me solve this problem and enjoy more than ever from your creative products.
    Thank a lot
    Ali

    Flash has always been a problem hogging the CPU. Recent versions, however, have been a little better. You might try Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169. I would also recommend the Safari extensions ClickToFlash 2.7.5 and FlashToHTML5 2.4.

  • Apple keyboard and mouse connection problems with windows 7

    Hello everyone,
    I just completed the installation of windows 7 home premium on my bootcamp partition, and even though in the beginning my keyboard worked properly after installing some windows updates it stopped working.
    So, i tried to reinstall the specific bootcamp drivers(as described in installation guide), I also tried repair drivers but the problem continues!
    Has anyone experienced something like this ? Could you advise me something?
    Thank you!

    Hi lolarennt,
    Have just done the same as you on the same system.  It took over 12 hours of mucking around. Had lots of problems with the black screen issue, mouse not working, failing to load error message 0x80070071 ( all this from memory... saw it a few times LOL).  The bottom line was I started up in Mac version and using disk utility repaired permissions and then started a fresh and sixth install.  To cut a long story short,  this fixed my installing issues. My mouse didn't work initially, an issue with  "DPInst.exe" something to do with the 64 bit install.  I then updated the win7 programme using the update windows function and things now work fine.  Granted the mouse does take a short while to work after starting Win7(10seconds or so) but no further problems...yet!  BTW I had to update something like 79 installs totalling over 250mb and if you go down this path don't interrupt the updating process, because you'll have to restore and redo the updates ( I did thinking the system had shutdown).  I only updated win7 not any other MS programme.  Enjoy

  • [SOLVED] Dualboot problems with Windows 7 partition

    Hello,
    after arch is running well I focus on the dual boot to have my arch and the windows 7 available.
    The first partition (hd0 1) is the chainboot to Windows 7, the second one is the main partition for windows and the third held the syslinux bootloader.
    LABEL windows
    MENU LABEL Windows
    COM32 chain.c32
    APPEND hd0 1
    After I uncomment the lines in the syslinux.cfg with the "Windows2-Label, I just tried what happens, because I was expecting everything works well like the other laptop I installed both systems.
    The following error message shows up when I select Windows in the boot menu: "Couldn't read first partition sector"
    At first I set the MBR back to the W7 chainloader to check if it is broken, but it works, after that I set it back to the syslinux bootloader.
    I also tried some workarounds:
        - KERNEL instead of COM32
        - setting APPEND to disk identifier of the windows chainloader
        - try to open the cfdisk, this shows up an error: "cfdisk fatal error bad logical partition 6 enlarged logical partitions overlap"
    Confused and unhappy I checked it with gparted and saw there is now error.
    #May anybody can hep to handle this problem or has some experience with that type of error. I was searching the web for two days but didn't found anything that helps.
    Kind regards

    Last edited by mutagen (2013-12-17 09:52:20)

    The awnser is just easy as I thought. It is a problem with the extended logical partition, creted by windows partition programm. The partitiontable is somewhat messy. But i can't delete it without loosing much of my stuff and even can't back it up. So i decided to buy a mSATA SSD for the my laptop.
    Now it works. :-)

  • Are you having problems with Windows XP Pro and Airport Utility Updates?

    I was having problems with my wireless laptop setting up my Bonjour Printer. I checked to make sure I had downloaded the latest updates to Airport Utility and Bonjour. Check. After doing this I noticed I couldn't see my Airport Extreme through the Airport Utility. After much frustration and bringing my entire network crashing down around me, I got help from a knowledgeable guy from Cox Cable in San Diego. He helped me get my trusty iMac Power PC online. It saw my Airport Extreme but no answers were forthcoming in any forums about my XP issues. Here is what finally solved my problem. I uninstalled all Airport Utility and Bonjour Programs. I then went back to Airport Utility 5.3.1 for Windows. It installs Bonjour Printer services with this download. Everything is working perfectly again. I have my Canon Pixma MP500 connected to the USB port on my AEBS and Bonjour walked right through the setup process. I suggest that if this works for you, turn off all Airport Utility and AEBS firmware updates until you see that whatever issue Apple created with these updates gets fixed.

    Well... it worked! :D
    I'm pretty sure the extra 512 memory stick was the problem, that would explain why it was being inconsistent with its type of failures before. I'm going to reinstall it later and run memtest86 and try and see if i can get it to work at all somehow without causing problems, cuz 1.5 was already low enough...
    DryHeat, yeah it was with SP2 but I got it installed now so no worries
    Thanks a lot!

  • I can't see my Windows PCs on my Airport network

    I have recently setup my Time Capsule as my wireless router.  I have connected my MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Windows Vista Home Edition to the wireless network and can access the internet fine.  I can also connect to my Seagate NAS from the Macs as well as from the Windows Vista machine.  My 2 Macs can "see" each other on the network and I can successfully connect to each.  I cannot "see" my Windows machine from my Macs, or my Macs from my Windows machines.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your help Tesserex. Ni was traveling last week and didn't have a chance to try your suggestion.  However, when I arrived home I was suddenly able to access all of my Mac and Windows PCs on the network again with full access to all of my shared files.
    I didn't change any settings, it just started working.  Not sure if it took a while for the settings to propagate through my AirPort network, but it all seems to be working fine now.
    Thanks again for trying to help.

  • IPhone connection problems with Windows 7

    Hello there and greetings from Sweden! Before summer holiday, I installed Windows 7 on my laptop.
    It is really fast in comparison to Windows Vista, and I am looking forwards to its release.
    I have found no major flaws within the system, except one.
    Being an owner to a iPhone, I have installed Itunes on my laptop since I wish to syncronize(?) music to my phone.
    Windows 7, on the other hand has caused a problem to Itunes. Connecting my iPhone causes the phone to charge, but it does not turn up in Itunes.
    I have tried with both my iPhone a friends phone with the same result. I have also re-installed Itunes but with no success. It doesnt connect at all (even though both phones charge).
    It worked fine in the past on both a Vista and XP system.
    If anyone has had any similar problems, please post how you solved it. It would be appreciated =)
