LAN connection, PC, signal received to laptop but can't connect

I am visiting my parents who have a LAN connnection and a PC running Windows XP. I brought my Airport extreme, (coned version) with me so that I would be able to use my laptop while here. When ever I connect the Airport (LAN box? into Airport, Airport into PC) both computers show a connection to the interent but fail to connect to the internet. I have also tried plugging the ethernet cable directly into my laptop and I have no luck there as well.
I have tried to look through help on the pc and there is no help to be found.
If anyone out there should know how I can fix this problem it sure would be great.
thanks

Is this a DSL connection or cable modem connection?
If it is a cable modem connection you must power off the cable modem whenever you switch the Ethernet output from one device to another. This causes the cable modem to forget the device that it was talking to. The cable modem will then discover the new device and communicate with it.

  • I have a new ipad2, also an ipad1, with a gateway laptop. I have wireless router with windstream. Able to access my wireless connection on ipad1 and laptop, but can't on ipad2. Will say connected, but get message saying not connected to internet on Safari

    I got an ipad 2 today. Already have an ipad 1 and gateway laptop. Have wireless internet with windstream. I have internet connection on ipad 1 and laptop, but can't connect to internet on ipad2. It says i'm connected, but when accessing Safari, it says not connected to internet. Tried unplugging router and resetting already, still not working. Thanks for the help.

    Thank you for your response.
    I did try turning off the firewall, and reducing all the security levels to a minimum (under Control Panel>Internet Options). Also, I'm using a direct cable from my m/c to the Airport Extreme. But nothing helps. Due to the usage pattern in my family, using the MacBook for configuring the network is not optimal, hence my struggle to do it on my Windows desktop. But if that is the only way to go I suppose I'll have to.
    Subsequent to posting my query, I discovered that Apple had not singled me out, and many others with a Win OS face this problem, too. I would have thought Apple would do a proper job of testing before putting up the Windows version of Airport Utlity on their site.
    But thanks again. Much appreciate it.

  • Hi, I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad.  On my account it says ID is only for 1 system.  I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop. Thanks

    It seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.

  • I'm working on the 30 day trial Photoshop CC on my laptop but can't open it on my school's paid Photoshop CC 2014. What do I do to open it?

    I'm working on the 30 day trial Photoshop CC on my laptop but can't open it on my school's paid Photoshop CC 2014. What do I do to open it?

    Your question is confusing. Are you trying to open your 30 day trial on the school computer or are you trying to bring the school's version on your computer? What is the end goal? Is it to retrieve your files from creative cloud?
    I personally would use Dropbox if that is the goal.

  • Trying to install Acrobat on a Vista laptop, but can't find the installation icon in the Adobe Application Manager

    Hi, trying to get Acrobat installed on my Vista laptop but can't seem to find an icon for it in the Adobe Application manager.  I have a CC license and it installs fine on my Win7 but can't seem to figure out how to install it on my Vista laptop.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Normally if something does not appear in the download options it means the machine does not meet the tech specs for the product.  In this case, Vista is not in the tech specs for Acrobat Pro XI if that is what you are trying to install.  For whatever reason it skips from XP to Windows 7.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

  • I can receive all email but can't send from certain email accounts

    Hi,
    I am having email problems. I have several email accounts. I receive email on all of them, but can't send on all of them. Not even a reply. The email accounts that work are gmail and att.net
    The accounts that don't send are:
    1 account hosted by GoDaddy, and a few accounts on my 2 domains jackskalon.com and bigjackmagic.com
    all of these accounts work fine on my laptop via outlook 2007. The place that houses my 2 domains said they don't know why I am having this problem. Apparently I am the only one?!?!
    Thanks

    Now that you mention it, I do have that problem when travelling with my laptop and iphone.
    As far as SMTP. I am not very knowlegable about how this all works. When I set up the email accounts accounts on the iphone, the message came back "Verified" as I finished configuring the accounts. Email on My laptop works fine at home, the iphone doesn't. On the road, iphone and laptop have the same problem.
    I apologize if I am missing the point of what you are asking me.
    It's frustrating.
    Thanks for the replies!
