Internet doesn't work for desktop PC when Airport Express is plugged in

Hey,
I've tried searching for an answer to this problem but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.
I recently bought AirPort Express so that I could use wireless on my MacBook while parents could go on the internet with their PC (running Windows XP). Their PC is connected directly to the modem (DSL I believe).
I have succeeded in setting up a wireless network so that when I plug Airport Express into the modem's ethernet slot, I can go on the internet on my MacBook. The problem is that when Airport Express is plugged in, the internet is no longer working on the PC. When you open a browser, it just says the page cannot be accessed right now.
I should mention that on the modem, there are green flashing lights for Power, DSL, and USB, but the slot for Ethernet is not lit up.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed by changing configurations on the PC? Or I have misjudged what Airport Express does, exactly?
Thanks

You could continue to use the existing modem, but you would need to change to a router that also incorporates a built-in Ethernet switch, like the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or similar routers by other vendors. This type of router would connect to your existing modem's Ethernet port but provide both wired & wireless clients with Internet connectivity ... so in this case your parents' PC would connect to one of the AEBS's Ethernet ports and your Mac can connect wirelessly.

  • Apple TV doesn't show up in iTunes when AirPort Express is running at the same time - Can't play music on both Apple TV and AirPort Express speakers together

    Hi there!
    I am trying to play music from my Mac on multiple speakers, Apple TV and AirPort Express. But as soon as the AirPort Express station is plugged in, the Apple TV does not show up in iTunes anymore. When trying the same using iPhones Remote app it works perfectly.
    Does anyone of you have an idea why iTunes does not show me both Apple TV AND AirPort Express? (it has nothing to to with the IP adress as the adresses are different).
    Thanks for any help!

    As my english isn't too good I made a screenshot to show you what I mean.
    As you can see in the image below iTunes only shows me the computer speakers and the AirPort Express. But at the bottom you can see that iTunes actually recognized 3 different speaker (Mac, AirPort, Apple TV 2). Why does the Apple TV not show up in the multiple speakers window? Any ideas?

  • Internet doesn't work for first 10 minutes, then works great. . .

    New to the forum, great wealth of info. I've searched here but still needing some assistance please. . .
    Wireless Router: Linksys WRT54GS
    Computers connected to internet: MacBookPro, OSX and HP Notebook G62-457-DX, Windows 7 Home Premium
    Both computers have the same issue. Upon start-up and opening web browser, there is no connection to the internet for approximately 10 minutes. Then the internet begins working and is fast and reliable. WiFi connection shows a full signal. 
    What I've done to troubleshoot so far:
    Restarting the modem, router, and notebooks multiple times did not resolved the issue. 
    On the Mac the first thing I did was install Firefox to see if perhaps it was a brower issue - did not resolve
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    the devices may be taking a long time to connect to the network. prior to checking if you're online, have you checked whether your wireless connection is already active?
    your router could probably use a firmware upgrade.
    to check the current firmware
    Step 1:
    Launch a web browser like Internet Explorer.
    Step 2:
    In the Address bar, enter your router’s IP address then press [Enter].
    NOTE:  The router’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
    Step 3:
    Enter your router's User name and Password then click OK.
    NOTE:  The default password is “admin” and you may leave the User name field blank.
    Step 4:
    When the router’s web-based setup page appears, the firmware version can be found on the upper right corner of the screen.
    take note of the device's hardware version and check what's the latest FW on the website: http://homesupport.cisco.com.
    you may contact tech support for help on firmware upgrade if needed.

  • The enclosure in RSS feed doesn't work for Itune

    I subscribed to my podcast rss feed to ITune, which was valid and had been tested successfully with other aggregator such as Ipodder, however, it doesn't work for ITune. When I hit "get" button next to my podcast name, I always get "!" sign in front of the name, and when I clicked it, I got error message "There was a problem downloading 'XXXXX'. The network connection could not be made".
    I'm not sure if this problem resulted from the "rewrite" function I used on my podcasting server in order to track the downloading. Here is how it works: When a mp3 file is requested, my web server will redirect the request to another asp.net program to do something and then redirect to the real mp3 file for downloading. Can it be problem in Itune? But I can use this enclosure url to download this mp3, and also the Ipodder works file with this rss feed.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply.
    However, according to the iTune specs as following,
    Tracking Usage
    Please note that iTunes does not provide usage statistics. Some podcasters have created mechanisms for tracking the number of times that each episode has been downloaded. iTunes does not provide support in how to track downloads, but the following notes may be helpful:
    * 302s will be followed to a depth of 5 redirects and will not update the feed URL in the directory.
    * The URL before the GET-style form values (before the first ?) must end in a media file extension (e.g. mp3). To work around this, the feed provider can alter their URL from this:
    http://www.podcaster.com/load.php?f=&Wipeout.php
    to this:
    http://www.podcaster.com/load.mp3?f=&Wipeout.mp3
    Notice how it says load.mp3 instead of load.php. It should be possible to accomplish this via various means, such as web server rewrites. iTunes looks at the extension of the path part of the url, i.e. the part before the”?”.
    The http request redirection is allowed as long as the appropriate file extension such as ".mp3" is used.
    By the way, I tested it with "no redirection" version, which worked fine.

  • [kde] "Only show tasks from the current desktop" doesn't work for max

    Hi,
    I have two monitor setup (laptop + main monitor) and I would love to use "Only show tasks from the current desktop" option in KDE Task Manager but for some strange reason it doesn't work for me. Well, it works but only partially - for restored/unmaximized windows. When I maximize one it appears on the Taskbar on both screens. Is this normal? May it be due to the fact that I've placed Taskbar on top of the screens?

  • Got M-Cell that gives 5 bars, got full-strenth wifi, Internet on phone doesn't work, any app that uses internet doesn't work, seems like its started when upgraded to 7.1.1

    I have an AT&T M-Cell that gives 5 bars, got full-strenth wifi. Same wi-fi that my computer uses, that my Kindle uses.  So not capacity issue. but my Internet on phone drops out continuously and frequently, any app that uses internet doesn't work at all. It seems like it started when I upgraded to 7.1.1  I have connectivity like crazy, so why doesn't the internet work?

    Reboot your router by powering it down for 30-60 seconds.

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

    Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
    I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
    It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
    I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • Toshiba Satellite L450D-124 - Internet doesn't work

    Hello, suddenly my internet on my laptop stopped to work, everything should work since there is no sign of an error or something. According to my settings it should work but when i try to do something that requires internet connection it says that the webpage can't be viewed or internet doesn't work. Apperently it does work when i connect through lan. But through wifi it doesn't. Anyone can help me with this problem? I resetted my whole laptop so there couldn't be any virusses or something.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi guys, thank you so much for your help!
    I tried to do the troubleshooting like suggested but unfortunately the screen does not show anything!!
    I am so disappointed with Toshiba since I have paid about 1000 bucks on this laptop and just after one month of the end of limited warranty it got a problem!!
    Please if you have another suggestion and troubleshooting please let me know.
    Remarks: I am living in Brazil and here we do not have an authorized Toshiba Service Center.

  • Application Restart and Recovery APIs doesn't work for windows services

    I am using the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism (provided in Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft.NET Framework) to collect some information (i.e. stack information when there's an unhandledexception)  before my windows service crash down.
    It works well for windows form applications, but the callback method wouldn't be called if the host is a windows service. 
    I have checked the article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/subscriptions/downloads/cc303708
    But it doesn't specify clearly whether it works for a windows service. It seems that the recovery will only be activated when the user interacts with the error dialog of Windows Error Reporting (clicking "close" on the dialog, for example).
    So I am wondering is my guess right that the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism doesn't work for windows services. Or is there a better way to meet my requirement? 

    I would suggest trying ARR if that's what you want to use.  The restart portion won't work, but it doesn't need to as if you fail out of your service, the Windows service controller will handle recovery (up to and including restarting your service).
     You configure those recovery actions either through code or one of the built in administrative tools for services such as services.msc.  
    DebugDiag/ADplus and similar tools ultimately do use built-in APIs; you don't need to add anything external to collect debugging information.  You do however have to write a good deal of code to do somethings.  It's pretty simple to use the unmanaged
    function that I pointed out before and
    MiniDumpWriteDump to write a minidump when you hit an unexpected error(the dbghelp.dll that comes installed with Windows has it so you don't need anything additional installed).  You can even write a basic debugger that literally debugs a process using
    only kernel32 functions (see
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679301(v=vs.85).aspx if you're interested).
