I can´t connect the internet - airport express + windows xp pack3

I have a problem to connect the internet in my computer (system Windows XP Pack 3) using Air Port Express. My roommate has a mac pc and everything was easy, but in my case it was not. I tried to use the “Airport setup assistant for windows” and nothing, I tried to update my wireless drivers and nothing. I tried to configure the wireless by hand, because it was not able to find automatically the airport base station. But, maybe I´m using incorrect IP and gateway values. I don´t know what else I can do to solve my problem. Sometimes, the internet symbol is on (when I configure ip value by hand), but when I open firefox or internet explorer … it is not connected.
Oh… please, help-me!
Thanks.
p.s. PC = Acer Aspire 5315, 802.11b/g wlan

I have the same problem. My iMac talks to the Airport Express with no problem, but my PC Laptop (running Windows 7) appears to connect but I can't use the internet - same issue as the first post in this discussion. I'd love to hear from someone who can help. Apple doesn't seem to be able to provide support on this one...

  • Can not connect to old airport express

    I can not connect to old airport express with new mountian lion and airport utility?

    You will need to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion.  This article will tell you how:

  • I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and use my old airport to extend my net?

    I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and extend my net?

    Things can get confusing pretty quickly since there are 3 different versions of the AirPort Express.
    If by "old", you mean you have Model No A1084 or A1088 AirPort Express (look at the label on the side of the device for the Model No), it cannot be used with the "Extend a wireless network" feature of other newer Apple routers.
    If your AirPort Extreme is "square" shaped with rounded corners, then the "old" AirPort Express will not work with your AirPort Extreme using the "Extend a wireless network" settings.
    You could use a "previous version" AirPort Express, Model No A1264 to "Extend", or the "new" AirPort Express, Model No A1392, for that purpose.
    If your AirPort Extreme is a simultaneous dual band product, then the "new" Express would be able to "extend" both bands.  The "previous" AirPort Express (Model A1264) would be able to extend only one band, since it is not a dual band device.

  • Can't connect to Apple Airport Express wi-fi

    Hi folks,
    2nd gen iPT, OS is up to date. At my home, it connects to my Airport Express wi-fi network just fine. But at my parents home, it does not. It sees the network, asks for the password, I type it in, and it rejects it saying it cannot connect to the network. I set the network up myself, I know the password, I just can't figure out what the connection problem is. Any ideas? Any typical things that are overlooked? Any glitches that I haven't anticipated (like using one versus another security protocol on my parents' network)?
    Thanks,
    -- Josh

    Is it the same Airport Express that you're physically taking to your parents home and plugging it into their network, or do they have their own Airport Express which you're trying to connect to?
    If it's a different Airport Express, I'd compare all the settings in the Airport Utility at your home with all the settings at your parents.
    If it's the same Airport Express, maybe you've got some settings in there which are specific to your home network i.e. different IP addresses. Try setting it up for DHCP.
    Can other wi-fi devices connect to it, or is it only the iPod touch that's having problems?
    Incidentally, I take my Airport Express where-ever I go and frequently connect it to different networks without having to reconfigure it, so if this is what you're trying to do, its certainly possible.

  • Can't connect PC to Airport Express

    Dear discussions helpers,
    After my wife had Vista installed on her Sony Vaio, we can't connect her to our Airport Express to access the internet. We use WPA Personal, password access. Seems she can only connect to it if the network is open, which I don't want to do for obvious reasons. We have an iBook and a Macbook that connect without issues, but even if we enter the password and configure the settings correctly (the set-up assistant is just about the same as the Mac), it won't connect. Now, she let this go for so long, she passed the Geek Squad warranty. I know nothing of PC's, so I can't help. Why she went there is another issue, but the point is: what can you suggest we do to allow her to access my network?

    Run AirPort Utility, click on Manual Setup, and then select Access. Change MAC Address Access Control from Not Enabled to Timed Access. Change the default setting by double clicking on it and on the drop down menu change Everyday to No Access. Now hit Done. Now click the + button and either enter your Mac's MAC Address (which can be found under Network Preferences and Advanced and is listed as your AirPort ID) or click this computer which will enter it automatically for you. Add the other computers that connect wirelessly to your Time Capsule (don't worry about ones that are wired) and then hit done. Now not only will other users have to know your password to get on your network but they also have to have a MAC Address that matches the ones that you listed (which means they either have to be one of your computers or have cloned one of your computer's MAC addresses, which is just one more layer of security).

  • Can't connect PS3 to Airport Express Network - please help!

    Hello,
    This may have been done to death before, but I couldn't find it...
    I have an 80GB PS3 that I am trying to connect to the internet wirelessly through my Apple Airport Express.
    When I follow the setup procedure on my PS3, it finds the Apple Network, I put in the security key and it all seems to be going OK. However, when I test the internet connection, it fails to find the IP address.
    Can anyone help me with this? Please???
    Many thanks...

    I have fixed it!
    Basically, I had wpa2 encryption enabled. I changed the encryption to wep, which then prompted me to enter a 13 digit password, which I did. Fired up the ps3, entered the new 13 digit password and voila! All working beuatifully.
    Many thanks for your help!

  • How can i connect my existing airport express to my new time capsule network?

    I have an older airport express for wirelessly extending my network in my apartment. I bought a new Time Capsule and my airport express flashes amber and cannot find the time capsule to connect. How do I get them connected?

    You can use the USB3 connections for USB2.  That's downward compatible.  Just runs at USB2 speed.
    Just this week apple announced a couple of TB adapters, TB-to-ethernet and TB-to-firewire.  But the FW adapter is not at the apple store as yet (at least at the time I am posting this).

  • AirPort Express - Can not connect to "extended" AirPort Express

    Two trips to the Genius Bar tell me that I should be able to Extend my network from a new AirPort Express (n/g/b) to an older AirPort Express (b/g) using the "extend network feature". The two devices are communicating (both lights are green and the wireless channel will change on the remote device if I change it at the base station), but my MBP Core Duo 15" seems to only be connecting to the AirPort Express Base Station (n/g/b) and not to the Remote "extended" AirPort Express (b/g).
    This forum seems to indicate that you can only use WDS between the newer AEX (n) and the older AEX (b/g) but the folks at the Apple Store have told me twice now not to use WDS. They said that as long as the two devices have green lights that it is working, but when I click on the Airport Symbol up in the menu bar w/the Option key it tells me the MAC address of the base station only - and when I get very far from the base station, the signal drops out even though the remote AEX is near by.
    I did try setting it up using WDS and that works fine, just very slow.
    Anyone know if there's a way to be sure that my MBP connects to the remote (extended) AirPort Express?

    This forum seems to indicate that you can only use WDS between the newer AEX (n) and the older AEX (b/g)
    This is correct....since the older b/g Express does not even have a setting to "extend a wireless network".
    If you require confirmation, open AirPort Utility, select the b/g Express, click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Now look at the available settings for Wireless Mode.
    "Extend a wireless network" is not there.
    but the folks at the Apple Store have told me twice now not to use WDS.
    They are likely telling you not to use it because the performance on your network will drop dramatically if you do use WDS. Or, they mean well, but they are just wrong on this subject. Here's why:
    The only way that you can use an older "g" and newer "n" device together to provide more wireless coverage is to configure both devices for WDS. It's a Catch 22.
    WDS operates only at "g" wireless levels. So when you configure the newer "n" Express to operate as part of the WDS (which you must), it becomes a "g" wireless device. You lose any "n" capability on the network
    Worse still, every "remote" or "relay" in a WDS setup cuts the bandwidth of the entire network in half...50%. That's huge. In effect, with WDS, you may have a bit more wireless coverage, but you will have a "g" wireless network that operates at half speed.
    but when I click on the Airport Symbol w/the Option key it tells me the MAC address of the base station only - and when I get very far from the base station, the signal drops out even though the remote AEX is near by.
    The remote AX is not providing any additional wireless coverage.
    They said that as long as the two devices have green lights that it is working
    Nope, as you can tell by the fact that your "remote" is not providing any additonal wireless coverage.
    Anyone know if there's a way to be sure that my MBP connects to the remote (extended) AirPort Express?
    Your only option, (unless you add more hardware):
    Configure both AX devices to "Participate in a WDS network" setting one up as a "main" and the other a "remote" . The big downside, as mentioned previously,  is that you will have a "g" wireless network running at half speed.

  • Can't connect to Secure Airport Express Network with my PC Laptop

    Hello-
    I have a PC laptop with Windows XP and a wireless card that I've used to successfully connect to unsecured Airport Networks many times.
    Now I have a Security-Enabled network in my apartment, and I can't figure out how to connect!
    When I attempt to connect, it asks me to enter a "Network Key." I've tried using the numbers on the underside of the AirPort Express itself, as well as the password my roommate assigned to the network (which I used to successfully connect with my PowerMac G5). None of these work.
    Does anyone have any ideas for me?
    Any additional information needed?
    THANK YOU!!!

    What you need is the "Equivalent Network Password" of the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). This Apple Tech article should help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106864

  • Can't connect to internet after interrupted Windows update.

    I can't connect to our wireless or LAN network with my Wife's Satellite L505-S59903 running Windows 7 32 bit.  I'm not sure exactly what she did, but I think she did a hard shutdown during a Windows update.  Now when I try to connect I get an error message that there might be a problem with the driver for the wireless adaptor and LAN adaptor.  I've tried reinstalling the both drivers with no luck.  Everything else seems to work fine.  She had system restore off.  Any help would be great.

    Hello,
    Try doing a system restore on the laptop.
    Click Start>Programs>Accessories>system tools>System Restore.
    Choose a date where the NB was working fine.

  • Cant connect my second Airport express for AirPlay

    Hi All,
    Im trying to have my musiced play throughout the house by using Airplay on 2 Airport Expresses, but so far I have not had much luck.
    I have the new 2nd generation Airport Express (AE) downstairs for the Bose system and using the older 1st Gen AE upstairs in the bedroom.
    The downstairs 2nd gen works fine streaming to the Bose and I've managed to get the 1st gen airport express to work fine with the speaker unit upstairs but I cannot get iTunes to play across both speakers at the the same time.
    Furthermore, when using Airport Utilities I can only 'see' the downstairs Airport Express ...unless i take my MAcBook upstairs and connect to the upstairs AE.
    I've tried setting up the upstairs AE both as a stand alone wifi network and to extend the range of the wifi zone .....what am I missing??
    I've also check the IP Address and DNS numbers but I dont know enough about those figures to know what means what, but I can tell you that they are different.
    P.S. I am aware of the "multiple' tab under the Airplays tab in iTunes, but no luck so far.
    Any help greatly appreciated as my master plan to extend music throughout the house is failing so far!

    Magically just started working!!!  Posting in here worked.....

  • Using both the printer and AirTunes on the same Airport Express

    Can I use the same AirPort Express to print wirelessly and have AirTunes hooked up to it also. Or would I have to get a separate AirPort for each use.

    Yes. There may be a hiccup due to bandwidth use if you print while streaming. But the answer is still yes.

  • Time machine can't sync with older airport express

    Just bought a new time capsule to replace a 7 year old airport extreme.  I can't get the two airport expresses to work with it.  The airport expresses are about 5 years old.  I've tried to reset them.  The airport utility says it has successfully reformatted them, but then when it tries to restart the airport express, it can't be recognized.  Airport express light continues to flash amber.

    Solved the problem using this forum.  Changed the security to WAP/WAP2 personal.
