Hp4050tn connection through airport problems

Printer: HP4050TN
Computer: iMac 27" (2010) w/ OS 10.6.8
Wireless Router: Airport Extreme
Connection: Ethernet RJ45 printer to Airport
Problem: I have had this configuration since 5/2010, and a week ago for some reason the iMac would not connect with the printer. I have tried all the combinations I can think of, with reboots and restarts, to no avail. I have also tried a direct connection via ethernet to the iMac, but the print menu returns the same error, "Unable to connect to printer".
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Problems sharing internet connection through Airport with a PS3

Does anybody know how to share an internet connection wirelessly with a PS3? I've tried everything including following directions from the tech support people from both Sony and my ISP (Verizon) and nothing works. Last time I've talked to Verizon I've obtained a IP number from them as Sony recommended and that did not work either. Is anybody out there with a PS3 sharing the internet connection through Airport successfully? I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks.!!

Sharing Ethernet Connection Through Airport

Is it possible to share your Ethernet connection through airport so that two computers can connect to a single connection without the need of a wireless router? I know that this is possible on XP, but I am somewhat new with OS X and cannot seem to figure it out. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Open the Sharing preference, click on the Internet tab, select the connection to share from the drop down menu, then check the ports that will share the connection.
You will find additional info by selecting Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and searching on the appropriate term.

Incredibly slow internet (Connected through airport)

Hey there!
I just got myself a new Macbook around 2 months ago and so far I'm very happy with it. I haven't had any problems except for one.
I'm connected to the internet wireless through Airport and since about a week ago loading web pages is going incredibly slow, whether I use Safari or Firefox. I didn't have this problem before and I didn't change any internet settings. Nothing else changed eigher. I'm still connected to the same network and I didn't install any dodgy programs on my network. Downloading or loading videos doesn't seem to be a problem though. When downloading from a fast server like mac or windows (I know I shouldn't but hey, all my friends use msn ;)) I can easily make the 300 kb/sec. Also waching video's on apple.com/trailers isn't a problem. It's only the loading of web pages or sending e-mails. It sometimes takes up to half a minute to even load google.com. I'm not sure but it might have started after a software update. not at all sure though! Can anybody help me please! Thanks!

Hi Jop, and Welcome to the discussions!
Two things to try first...
Fix Permissions using the Disk Utility, then reboot. or better yet, get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Try putting these in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
Might be better ones for you over there, but worth a try.

Devices not connecting through Airport extreme wired connection

Hi
I just got an Airport extreme to use as an extention of my existing network, and to plug some devices in so that they can connect to the internet for updates (Sony Blu-ray player, dish network receiver, slingbox)...
my wireless is from a linksys/cisco wireless router (4-port) wrt310n, that is connected to my cable modem. The airport is set and has the green light showing. The blu-ray player and dishnetwork receiver are plugged into two of the ports. The blu-ray player says it can't connect to the internet. The dish network receiver says it is connected, giving ip address/submask, etc.
If I take my macbook pro and turn off wireless and plug into the airport it will not connect to the internet.
What have I not done to allow wired connection to the airport extreme to connect to the net?
thanks
David

Thanks for the clarification of your setup.
Unfortunately, the bottom line here is that this is not going to work.
The ethernet ports on the Extreme will only be active if you configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". But, it can only "extend" a wireless network from another Apple router. It's not compatible for this purpose with your Cisco router or any other manufacturer's router.
If you are unable to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal.
I should clarify that if you connect the Cisco and AirPort Extreme using ethernet, you would not use the "extend" setting on the AirPort Extreme. This is only used if the device is connecting to another Apple router.

Mac only sees part of external hard drive connected through airport extreme

I partitioned the Lacie 500gb external drive into a FAT32 portion, and a larger portion for Mac, per instructions so I can use by both Mac and PC. Mac is supposed to 'see' both partitions, but only sees the larger one. If i go through Airport Utility, manual setup, disks..then it does show both partitions. But the smaller partition does not show up on the desktop or in Finder, so I am unable to access it.
I need the smaller portion to show as well since that is the portion I will use with PC and to share files between PC and Mac. I researched 'mounting' the drive, but nothing there.
Thanks to anyone who can help...

Can't connect to router through airport (problem with encryption)

We have a small office network with several computers connected to a wireless router. A while back all the macs using airport suddenly were no longer able to connect to the internet (email still worked fine) while the windows computers on wireless and macs on lan still work fine.
The router is using WPA personal encryption, and when using this the macs can connect to the wireless network no problems, but then they aren't able to use the internet. as i said though email still works without any problems. We spoke to the tech support at our ISP but macs aren't very common in south africa, so they just suggest we change the encryption from WPA to WEP encryption. I tried both 64 bit and 128 bit but every time i get an error saying: There was an error joining airport network. If I turn off encryption though everything works fine and the macs are able to access the internet without any problems. Anybody have any ideas what might be wrong?

I am having the same problems since 3 days ago (Imac core 2 duo 20" 2,16). I think it was after the 10.4.10 upgrade.
I haven't tested if I can connect an open network (without encryption).
I can't connect to internet using the wifi network... sometimes, i can't even locate the SSID's network.
Even using windows xp with bootcamp i can't use the network, so it's really strange. This can only be firmware/hardware... cause XP on my mac was able to connect and now it can't too. I tried with other computers (notebook) and i can connect without problems.
Have you solved this issue ?
Anyone can help?

I am connected through airport to a home router but none of my applicatons will connect to the internet. I have an old Macbook running OSX 10.5.8 and it has worked previously wthout any problems.

I am having trouble connecting applications to the internet. Airport find and connectsme to our hom router network connection but mail and safari cannot connect to the internet. Previously the conection worke withou difficulty.

You can be connected to a wireless network that has no internet connection. Try restarting your Airport device and your router.

ITunes not playing/connecting through Airport Express

Whenever I try to play a track in iTunes wirelessly through my Airport express iTunes always returns the error: "An error occured while connecting to the remote speaker "AirPort Express" The network connection failed".
I can't work out what's wrong because the Airport light is green and connected to my router perfectly, there are no errors in the Airport utility and I can print wirelessly to the printer connected to the Airport using the Bonjour setup.
I have Windows 7 and the latest versions of all software and firmware installed. Turning off Windows firewall makes no difference so it can't be that. I have tried everything I can possibly think of and have gottem nowhere. Please help!

I have configured and re-configured my Airport Express, but I can't get it to receive music from iTunes.
iTunes does recognize presence of Airport Express (named "Stereo Cabinet").
However, when I select "Stereo Cabinet" in the pulldown menu, all I get is reduced volume output through my computer speakers... not through the stereo system hooked up the to the Airport Express.
I've had this problem for months... posted here some time ago, but got no response.
I am running 10.6.2 on an Intel Core duo Macbook laptop. This function used to work just fine, and I can't figure out why it no longer does. I think I had the same trouble under 10.5... but my attempts to figure it out were only sporadic (busy life, you know?).
Can anyone help?

sorry if i ask the obvious but have you enabled airtunes like so ?

Recieve and Share Connection through airport

hello,
I staying at a very big house, and the wifi here does not extend to my room. We have 2 iBook G4's and I was wondering if there is a way to recieve the connection on one iBook, and with the same one broadcast it through its airport card. Whenever I try to share the connection it wont let me be connected to the internet. any suggestions of programs or tips that will help me do this?
Thanks
Zack

I stand by what I said: "A laptop with a wired connection can share the Internet through it's wireless card or vice versa." That means they can both:
1. connect wirelessly to the internet via Airport
base station
2. connect via ethernet to other computers on a LAN
and share that airport based internet connection with
the other computers ?
I have not tried to do what you are suggesting but it should work according to this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107484
I have DSL but am considering dumping it as
sharing an airport connection is far cheaper.
You still need an ISP so if not DSL what would the Airport share?
it is possible to have both airport and
ethernet active as far as that goes.
They can both be active but unless you enable Internet Sharing from Airport to Ethernet in the Sharing System Preference it won't happen.
Office Mac A (static IP)
Why use static IPs? If they can't find a DHCP server they will default to being on the same subnet (169.254.x.x). Internet Sharing assumes the clients will be using DHCP.

2WIRE Interfering with my wireless connection through Airport hub

I live in a condo in the downtown area. I use cox communication as my internet provider. Because this is a condo located around other condos my wireless connection stops as soon as someone turns on their 2WIRE wireless router. In fact, even if I use a linksys or a Netgear wireless router, 2WIRE interferes or steps all over my wireless signal. Has anyone been experiencing this problem? In other words, how does one stop other wireless routers from stepping all over my signal - Airport Extreme or any other type of wireless router.

Try configuring your base station to use another channel until you find a channel that works or you run out of channels.

Unabl eto share Internet connection through Airport

I have a new Samsung wave S8500. I'm trying to access the internet connection shared by my mac on the airport, everytime i try to connect to my mac through the Wi-Fi on my phone, it doesn't connect. I put a 40 bit WEP Key length on the sharing options. The airport can connect to my other phone which is a Nokia N97, the Samsung is able to connect directly to my friends Router(wi fi) and I'm able to use the net. I'm unable to pin point where the issue is.

First, before I get into too much detail: Is it even possible to set up a WPA2 network directly from the iMac without a separate router?
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Despite the fact that WPA2 encryption has existed for years, Apple hasn't seen fit to include that option in its "Internet sharing" feature.

In contrast to what many people say in this forum, it is possible to have an unsigned applet access a database. You don't even have to manipulate the client's policy-file. The requirement is that the database is located on the same machine as the applet is downloaded from.There are however other things that can break this possibility. One is the database-driver itself.
In the case of Oracle we have tried using different versions of the driver. When using version 8.1.7 or 9.0.1 things work nicely, but when switching to version 9.2 it stops working. There is a question on OTN [1]. Let's see what Oracle has to say about it.

IPod Touch Connecting Through Airport with Access Control

Assistance requested.
I want to connect my iPod Touch to my Airport wireless network. I have access controlled to my wireless network so that only devices with an Airport ID specified in the Airport configuration may connect to my wireless network.
Does the iPod Touch have an Airport ID that I can enter into my Airport configuration? I realy do not want to make my wireless network open to anyone.
Thank you,
Doug

Sorry,
Thank you for the contribution. I found my own answer with some searching on the iPod. This was my solution in case somebody else is having a similar problem.
Required address (Airport ID) of the iPod was found as follows:
Settings
General
About
Wi-Fi Address
Added the Wi-Fi Address to my Airport Access Control List.
On the iPod performed the following:
Settings
Wi-Fi
Choose Another Network
Typed in the wireless network name (case-sensitive)
Selected the proper security protocall
Typed in the password to access my Airport Network
Click Join
Problems connecting were resolved and my network remained closed to people not pre-approved to access it.
