Need help with set-up process

Hi there, I am not tech expert hence I would require some help and clarifications. I bought an airport express recently. I own a Acer Netbook running on Windows Vista, iPad wireless version and a iPhone 3Gs.
My purpose of buying the airport express was to create another wireless network and because I travel, I would like to use the airport express to allow my iPad and iPhone to connect wirelessly as most of the hotels only provide me with an Ethernet cable.
Questions are....
1) How do I do the initial set up? I cannot seem to set up my airport express using my netbook. It can't seem to detect. I have followed the following instructions.
- Install the airport express utility.
- Plug the airport express for power.
- Open the utility, it has detected the base station.
- Selected the option on setting up a wireless network.
- It configured on its own.
However, it doesnt work now, what do I do? Anybody who has simpler instructions for a noob like me?
Also, once I am done with this initial set up and when I go overseas, is it as simple as plugging in their ethernet cable into my airport express and I can connect my ipad and iphone wirelessly?

Welcome to the discussions!

The AirPort Express is broadcasting a default wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You need to log on to this wireless network on your PC first, then open AirPort Utility to configure the device.
Any Windows box is going to have issues with the Windows firewall blocking an attempted connection or your anti-virus software may be doing the same thing. You may need to turn both of these off in order to establish a connection between AirPort Utility and the AirPort Express.
You might also try to connect an ethernet cable directly from the computer to the AirPort Express.
*Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup*
*Click the Base Station tab* below the row of icons
Name your Express, assign a device password and adjust Time Zone settings
*Click the Wireless tab*
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Your choice
Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible)
Channel = Automatic
Security = WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal
Password = Your choice
Confirm Password
*Click the Internet icon*
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off Bridge Mode
*Update to save settings*
When you are at the hotel, connect an ethernet cable from the hotel's jack to the AirPort Express and power up the Express. Open your browser and hotel's log in page will appear so that you can agree to terms and pay the fees.

    you can't. the extreme is only a router. you need a separate modem (or disable the wireless part of your old router and use it as a modem - if that's possible).

  • Need help with a simple process with FTP Adapter and File Adapter

    I am trying out a simple BPEL process that gets a file in opaque mode from a FTP server using a FTP adapter and writes it to the local file system using a File Adapter. However, the file written is always empty (zero bytes). I then tried out the FTPDebatching sample using the same FTP server JNDI name and this work fine surprisingly. I also verified by looking at the FTP server logs that my process actually does hit the FTP server and seems to list the files based on the filtering condition - but it does not issue any GET or RETR commands to actually get the files. I am suspecting that the problem could be in the Receive, Assign or Invoke activities, but I am not able identify what it is.
    I can provide additional info such as the contents of my bpel and wsdl files if needed.
    Would appreciate if someone can help me with this at the earliest.
    Thanks

  • [SOLVED] Need help with setting up X

    Hello guys am new to the forum and this is my first post here. I am in need of a little help.
    Need help with X configuration. It starts like this, I installed xorg-server , xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils. When I tried installed xorg-init it says no package, anyway I ignored and moved on.
    Now I installed regular mesa stuff and installed xf86-video-ati driver for my HD4250 graphics adapter. with libgl and ati-dri (I have old arch wiki print so it mentioned to install those while newer doesn't list some stuff)
    Now the problem is that Xorg -configure doesn't work with newer X and nor the packages has generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
    Anyway I created the file manually and added each and every section as mentioned in the "old" guide that I have.
    I even added a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf file for my graphics card with the content as
    Section "Device"
    Identifire "r"
    Driver "radeon"
    EndSection
    After manually creating all such files I installed x-term, xclock and twm. But when I tried to start X by startx or Xinit it says command not found. Add to that a simple X shows couple of errors.
    Please see the errors here Paste #399362 | LodgeIt!
    Some more questions : My old guide mentioned to install HAL while newer guide on the net mention DBUS. Though I have added DBUS to be on the safe side but why not HAL ? Is it because of Udev ?
    So please help me getting X up and running.
    Regards
    Last edited by Shashwat (2011-06-04 09:47:47)

    Ok  I sorted out the misprints in the file and installed xinit but still can't get it to work.
    1. There are few errors in xorg.conf that I cannot make it out.
    2. The X output says no screen found. ?
    http://paste.pocoo.org/show/399383/
    Now when I add EndSection at the last its says invalid parameter and when I remove it, I get an error "No EndSection, EOF missing"
    Kind of bugging
    Please do help.

  • Need Help with setting up this Filter

    Hi,
    I need help making a filter sound like the one used in this youtube song.
    I tried setting it up but I've had no success; even though I know for a fact that this filter was made in Logic Pro 9 according to the maker of this song.
    I think there might be a bit of 'Fuzz-Wah' in there too but I've never really used that effect so any tips on that would be great, too.
    Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf017M8SZZE&feature=plcp
    Any help with this would be widely appreciated.
    Thank you :-)

    It sounds like a simple hi Q filter sweep to me but getting close to the original synth sound that it is being used on is the challenge. It might well be that it is the filter on the synth itself is what is being swept. Either way, turn up the filter resonance on a band pass filter and sweep it with the lfo or adsr to modulate the filter cutoff if its the synth filter, or automate the filter frequency  sweep if you use the channel filter.

    Hi everyone,
    I need help setting VPN on Cisco EPC3925 modem (I tried using Help and I have read the entire section in the manual but the manual is not the same as the window I get in my settings. For example in the manual they say I can choose "all" under Remote Secure Gateway but there is no option like that).
    When I go to the VPN section this is what I get:
    1. Does this mean that I can connect to my modem via VPN from some other location? I would like to be able to connect to this modem when I am not at home from some remote location from my computer in order to be able to use NAS-Storage.
    2. If the answer on the first question is yes, what settings I need to enter for the:
    Local Secure Group
    Remote Secure Group
    Remote Secure Gateway
    My ISP is using dynamic IP but I have DDNS.
    My router local IP is 192.168.0.1
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0

  • Need help with set-up

    Hello,
    I gave my son an Iphone 4 to use.  He is in the military overseas now and let his phone for another sibling to use while deployed.  Problem is he wiped it clean but it is still asking for the email/password to set up since its still connected to his account.
    Problem is I don't know this info and neither does he.  It's been over a year already and he has no clue.  The email retrieval doesn't work because he doesn't have access to emails.  HELP!!!
    Is there anyway to get past the logon screen??

  • Need help with set up for extensions

    I'm new to OA Framework development and am just ramping up (do have years of Java development experience) and could use some help. I've read through the OA Framework Developer Guide and gone through a few of the tutorials. My task is to add some extensions to the R12 Customer Standard pages.
    I've looked in the $JAVA_TOP at the following directory structure.
    /oracle/apps/ar/cusstd/...
    I find java classes and the server.xml files but there are no PG.xml files to work with. Are these located in a different structure? What is the best approach to obtaining the base Oracle source files to start with and for configuring your local development environment to extend R12 OA Framework pages? Do you need to include the entire $JAVA_TOP in your development client environment classpath as well?
    Thanks in advance!

    To run the oracle seeded party create/update page, you can refer &lt;&lt;your Jdeveloper Installation directory&gt;&gt;\jdevhome\jdev\myhtml\OA_HTML\test_fwktutorial.jsp.
    Create a new custom jsp similar to test_fwktutorial.jsp. Modify this JSP based on your environment and user setup. Modify the links also. With this, you should run this jsp first. By clicking the link in the JSP run, you can launch party create page.
    The error you posted in RED color is thrown because you are trying to modify the web bean hierarchy in the processFormData method. Example, setting some items property to rendered false or true. All these kind of modifications should be done in the proceeRequest method of the controller.
    Following is from DEV guide to launch the forms application.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Launching Oracle Applications Forms from OA Framework Pages
    To launch an Oracle Applications form from OA Framework, you must first define a button, link or image web
    bean. The web bean then relies on the FormsLauncher applet provided by Oracle Applications (AOL/J) to
    launch the specified form.
    Declarative Implementation
    Step 1: In the OA Extension Structure pane, select the region in which you want to create the web bean to
    launch an Oracle Applications form. Choose New > Item from the context menu.
    Step 2: Set the ID property for the item, in accordance with the OA Framework File Standards, and set the Item
    Style property to button, image, or link. You may also launch an Oracle Applications form from a submit
    button. See the Runtime Control section below for more details.
    Step 3: Set the Destination URI property of the item with a value following this format (replacing the italicized
    text as appropriate):
    form:responsibilityApplicationShortName:responsibilityKey:securityGroupKey:functionName
    For example, if you want to launch the FND Menus form, the Destination URI property should be set to:
    form:SYSADMIN:SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATOR:STANDARD:FND_FNDMNMNU
    Step 4: If you wish to pass parameters to the form, set the Destination URI property with a value using the
    following format (Note that the parameter list is delimited by a space between each "parameter=value" pair):
    form:responsibilityApplicationShortName:responsibilityKey:securityGroupKey:functionName:param1=
    value1 param2=value2 param3=value3
    Note: If you wish to send varchar2 parameter values that contain spaces, use \" to enclose the string value.
    For example, to pass in something of the form:
    TXN_NUMBER=LT INVOICE 1
    Use:
    TXN_NUMBER=\"LT INVOICE 1\"
    Step 5: Refer to the following Chapter 4 topics for information about additional properties you may need to set
    for the specific item: Buttons(Action/Navigation), Buttons (Links), or Images in Your Pages.
    *Runtime Control*
    There are no special programmatic steps necessary to launch an Oracle Applications form from a button,
    image, or link in an OA Framework page. The OAButtonBean, OALinkBean and OAImageBean support the
    special form function URL format described above for the Destination URI property. When OA Framework
    encounters this special value, it generates the appropriate URL and also adds a hidden IFrame (inline frame)
    to the OA Framework page. The hidden IFrame is the target of the FormsLauncher applet provided by Oracle
    Applications.
    Launching an Oracle Applications Form From a Submit Button
    If you wish to launch an Oracle Applications form from a submit button in an OA Framework page, you must
    use the OAPageContext.forwardImmediatelyToForm(String url) method from
    548
    oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OAPageContext. An example of how to use this API is shown in the code
    sample below:
    public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
    super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
    if (pageContext.getParameter("Apply")!=null)
    String destination =
    "form:SYSADMIN:SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATOR:STANDARD:FND_FNDMNMNU";
    pageContext.forwardImmediatelyToForm(destination);
    *Usage Notes*
    Microsoft Internet Explorer supports the IFrame element, so when you launch an Oracle Applications form from
    OA Framework, only a splash window appears. Any other windows required by the FormsLauncher applet
    use(s) the hidden IFrame as the target and therefore remain(s) hidden from the user. Netscape Navigator, on
    the other hand, does not support the IFrame element, so in addition to a splash window, the user also sees
    another window used by the FormsLauncher applet.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
