I Feel Stupid Asking This... (Network Question)

Hey guys,
I have a Airport Base Station that provides my house with internet access and I love the thing! It is located in my office.
However, I have a security system that I can get online remotely that I wish to put online but I don't want to run a wire from my wall to the ABS in my office.
I DO have a Airport Express Base Station that is laying around. I know that the port on the Express is for an incoming internet signal. Is there anyway to plug my security system into the Express and have it transmit the signal to my ABS for use on the net?
Thanks for your time!
Doc

Thanks for clarifying which version of AX you have. With the earlier 802.11b/g version, the only option to enable its Ethernet port is to reconfigure both AirPorts into a static Wireless Distribution Systems WDS, with this AX configured as the remote base station in this WDS.
Although this will enable the AX's Ethernet port and provide your security device with network/Internet access, a WDS comes with a severe bandwidth penalty for your wireless network. Instead, you may want to consider either getting a update 802.11n version of the AX or another manufacturer's Wireless Ethernet bridge product.

    Hi
    feel real stupid asking these questions but here goes: -
    What is the 'Option' key on the keybord?
    If i want use a hash character how do i do that?
    when i sign in on my mac i have to type in my password but if i type it wrong it takes me to a windows equivalent of 'DOS' mode why does it do this and how can i stop it?

    Hi Again Mr Lenz!
    You will find information about all of the keys here Apple Human Interface Guidelines: The Keyboard.
    The Option/alt key is located between the Command⌘ and Control keys.
    To type a # character, press the Shift + 3 keys. If it's a European keyboard, press the Option + 3 keys.
    I'm not sure about the wrong password behavior. If you enter the correct password, does it login OK?

    I upgraded to the new Numbers and when you save your spreadsheet and say your cursor is on row 500 column 10 and next time you open that spreadsheet how do you get back to that position without scrolling or paging down a million times?  In an Excel spreadsheet it remembers the last spot you were in, does Numbers have a way to remember the last spot?
    In the previous version of Numbers I could just tap the down arrow and it would jump to the saved spot, but that doesn't work in the new version, it just stays at the top of the spreadsheet.
    Thank you for your help.
    Matt

    I do not see a way (natively) to deal with this.  You can post a comment to Apple using the menu item "Number > Provide Number Feedback"
    As a follow on (work around) you could add a small table that you leave near the area of interest, then you can select that table to "jump" to that spot using the sheet menu:
    In this example "Table 2" was my marker table

  • Feel Very Stupid Asking This....But I Need An Answer

    So, I've had my HP m6 for a good while (years) and just the other day, I was attempting to play a game on it...only for it to crash upon start up.  After researching the issue, many people suggested updating the graphic drivers....and so I went on to research how to go about doing that.
    I found my chip, it's an Intel...so I went to the Intel site, found my chip, and found a whole bunch of new(er) driver updates ready to be downloaded.  I figured this would be easy...but it seems I can't download their updates...because HP has a lock on being able to do that.  The other option was to come here and download the updates directly from the HP site...but this is where my main issue comes from.  The last update that HP released for my chip and driver was back in 2012...while Intel has updates for my chip from May of 2014. 
    I really don't understand why this is...the way it is.  But if someone could help me out...just give me a flat answer as to whether or not I have to buy a new computer just to play a game, or if there's some work around to where I can get the update I need in order to play...for free?

    Hi Dilaudid281,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY m6 Notebook and issue with graphic updates.  The HP Support Assistant will help with drivers and software that are recommended for your HP Notebook and the hardware that is installed. Most driver sites do recommend to use the Manufacture's drivers. I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of ENVY m6 notebooks I would need the model number. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please respond with which Operating System you are running:

  • I feel so stupid asking this...

    I created a new folder within iTunes. I then dragged a couple smart playlists into that folder. But now I want to drag one of them out. But I can't...

    Thanks Liz - that did it for me. Now how utterly counterintuitive was that!! I also noticed you could drag it to the 'Source' mini-titlebar at the top. I think it's wrong to have the target light up with a '+' which indicates a copy when in fact a move is occurring. But I'm not the expert on good human interface design...
    Anyway, I think I'm griping so I better stop. Thanks again.

  • I don't know where else to ask this: Quick Question about Logic Platinum 6

    Hi everyone,
    This question actually pertains to a copy of Logic Platinum 6 I own but I don't know where else to ask it, so here I am in the Logic 8 forum.
    I haven't touched Logic in a year or maybe two, and I just installed it on my computer and after attempting to start it up with two different XS keys (I thought I lost one so I have a replacement and I forget which one is the active one) it says "no XS key found" to both of them.
    I want to upgrade to Logic 8 but in the mean time I can't even get Logic 6 to recognize my XS key.
    Please help me out if you have any information that would be beneficial or know where I could seek help!
    Thank you!
    Colin C.

    When you plugin them in, are they recognised in System Profiler? Try differnt ports, connecting them directly and not on a hub. Try on a different computer if necessary.
    You can also try running:

  • There are probably hundreds of people asking this same question, but how do I get iTunes to install on my Windows 8 64-bit computer?

    I've tried re-installing, fixing the compatibility, running it as an administrator, and restarting my computer, among other things, and it just won't work! All I get is the, "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher", message. The installer says iTunes64Setup. Help?

    I see there's no answer.
    This issue has ****** me off for a long time, and I am fed the **** up with it.
    I DO NOT WANT TO DOWNLOAD the Movies and TV shows to every *^&%^$%# Apple device, ONLY the MUSIC!!!
    COme on Apple!!!  FIx this!!!

  • Embarassed to ask this basic question

    I'm reading in my Oracle SQL book on date times and I cannot find how to do a 24 hour read.
    I am scheduling a query in TOAD as a script to go off at 6 am every morning, but I am trying to modify my query so that it uses the same date each time.
    all I want is to select all data between table.current_timestamp and table.current_timestamp - 24 hours in the format:(MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM)

    select * from <table> where to_date(date_p, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM') between sysdate and sysdate - 1
    something like the above? You should be able to convert your column to a date field with the to_date command. Ideally you would want to store this as a date field itself such that you do not have to write to_date wrappers etc..

  • Very simple network question

    Forgive my stupidity asking this question...
    I have an iBook G4 and two Windows PCs (one W2K, one XP) all happily sharing a wi-fi network using Airport Express.
    I am about to dash out to the shops to buy a USB printer so that we can all print wirelessly, using iFelix's fab website for guidance. My incredibly dumb question is this: do I need to establish any kind of network before embarking on the printer-sharing project, or, by the very fact that we are all sharing a wi-fi network, are we already three "networked" computers??
    I don't want to share any files between the computers, just a printer. Is there anything I need to do beforehand to create a network, or are we already one??
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Window XP, Windows 2000, AirPort Express

    Sanhodo: there are reports of problems with windows sharing a printer to a wireless iBook. You should read iFelix guide to wireless printing (run a google search), it will shed some light on the subject.
    JFYI, the setup of Claudine is completely different from yours, since she will connect the printer to THE ROUTER, not to a computer --which is your case-- and therefore she will avoid the problems of windows printer sharing...

  • I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3.  I cannot find my photos and videos.  I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out.  Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?

    I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3.  I cannot find my photos and videos.  I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out.  Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?  I do nto care about anythign else.
    Here are the steps I though I took this morning:
    Backup iPad
    Connect to iTunes and downlaod newest version of iTunes and then newest iOS
    restart Vista Laptop
    upgrade to newest iOS
    I knew somethign was wrong when it took about 6 hours to upgrade the iPad
    at the end it errored with this message error (-50), but the upgrade worked
    I was expecting to see all my photos but didn't see them
    I have tried a restore to a back up 2 times.  The first time took 3 hours and just sort of timed out - it kept saying that there was an hour to go
    I tried it again 2 hours ago and same message.
    They are very valuable to me and so now I am panicking
    Your help is much appreciated

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    On the page where you enter username and password after entering and pressing "Log in" the page just stays in place. If you look at the error log you see

  • I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers. I want a second display.

    I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?

    Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!
