No Email Clients through Airport extreme

Hi All,
I am currently running Snow Leopard on 5 machines 2 connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet connected to a comcast cable modem. 3 via wireless. these are: 2 Macbook Pros and 1 iMac 27" these 3 are all in bridge mode the other 2 are iMac 20" and a Mac Mini all with updated software.
the problem is all can connect to the interneet but not to the email clients on all machine via IMAP.
The AE is running in WAN mode with auto DHCP provided via the modem. is there an easy solution which i am not seeing.

I'm having a similar problem. Can't access e-mail (as well as my website only) through the airport express, but can access both through ethernet cable.

  • My iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, although it will print if connected via USB. Meanwhile, my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) prints still prints wirelessly. Please help.

    May iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, though my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) continues to function just fine). The iMac will print if it is connected to the printer directly via USB. The iMac continues to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I've tried resetting the printer and ensuring the driver is up to date, but no joy.
    Any suggestions?

  • Configuring wired desktop through airport extreme

    I have successfully connected a cable modem to the airport extreme and to my wireless mac. However, i need to connect my roommate's dell desktop to the internet and i hoped to do it through airport extreme. My problem is that i cannot get her computer to recognize that it is plugged into the LAN (<-->) port of my airport.
    Can anyone help me with a step by step of what i need to do on her computer? (I've tried the network settings, but i cannot figure it out.)
    She has a Windows XP computer. We're connected through Comcast and have a comcast username and password.
    Also, i want to use security but if i set up a WPA password will she be able to connect? Thanks.

    Vinita, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sorry, but I know very little about how to configure XP. Essentially you want to configure it to use Ethernet and DHCP to get an IP address.
    You want to ensure that your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is configured to distribute IP addresses.
    WPA and WEP only affect wireless connections and have nothing to do with Ethernet connections.

    How can I mirror my Macbook Pro desktop through Airport Extreme to a digital projector with only a DVI & VGA inputs?? Want to use it for presantation like Keynote/ Pages.

    Never mind, I solved it.  Didn't know the converter needed a power source to operate (duh!)  Now I have that, it works just fine.......

  • Internet connection is through airport extreme is not connected

    internet connection through airport extreme is not connected maybe there is a problem setting it up

    Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected
    to the AE (which is also a router if I understand
    correctly) could cause connection problems ?
    Yes.
    Ensure that that the AEBS is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
    Also ensure that the AEBS is on a different channel to the DG834G.

  • I can connect to internet with my MBP through Airport Extreme, but my iOS devices can't. Please help.

    I can connect to internet with my MBP through Airport Extreme, but my iOS devices can't. Please help.

    GerleMan, Welcome to the discussion area!
    There are two probably causes:
    Your ISP is blocking the port used by Entourage to send mail and the ISP used by the other wireless networks is not.
    OR
    Your ISP doesn't like OS X's default MTU seting of 1500. If this were the case it should also affect any large file transfers you try to make from your Mac to the Internet.

  • Cannot open port through Airport Extreme to access security system DVR

    I have internet access through Bellsouth DSL -- modem only. We had a security system set up around a DVR recording images and connected to the internet through a Linksys router. We would use a client on outside computers to connect to the security system dvr and see what was happening (live or recorded). I switched out the Linksys for the Airport Extreme, and now we cannot connect to the DVR.
    Do I need to manually open a port to the DVR? How do I do this? The DVR connects to the Airport Extreme via Ethernet, and as far as I can tell, the Airport Extreme connects to the DSL modem via Ethernet using DHCP. We have a static IP address. I thank you in advance for any answers, and I apologize if I'm not giving enough information.

    Let's double-check your Port Mapping setup on the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) ...
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    o Reserve address by: MAC Address
    o Click Continue.
    o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
    o IPv4 Address: 10.0.1.4
    o Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s): 6746
    o Public TCP Port(s): 6746
    o Private IP Address: 10.0.1.4
    o Private UDP Port(s): 6746

  • Connect to broadband wireless, but not through Airport Extreme b/g

    I have had an Airport Extreme BS working as a Gateway to my Wireless Broadband service since last July. The AEBS has been providing internet to a WinXP laptop, and an iMac running OSX 10.5.2. This has been working well since installed.
    My Wireless Broadband is provided by Rogers and known as 'portable internet'. The Modem/antenna is the Motorola 'Expedience' device for outside perm installation.
    Suddenly about 2 weeks ago, perhaps 3, we started experiencing problems. We would have fine performance for chunks of time, interrupted by complete internet connectivity loss. I would go through all the motions of reset on AEBS, on the service provider 'modem' and on the clients. Sometimes we got it back, mostly not.
    I found that it looked like the DHCP setup on the AEBS wasn't reliable, in that the AEBS would sometimes get an address from the service provider, and sometimes not. This would then cause a failure of gateway and dns provision to the clients.. so everthing would fall apart.
    Plugging a client directly into the service provider ALWAYS succeeded in getting an IP and DNS address. I've spent about 12 hours total on the phone to Rogers at this point, and from their side, working through detailed tests with me, say that they are reliebaly connecting to me, and reliably seeing me get ip/dns.
    This leads me to believe that my AEBS has somehow been effected by an update, and now is having troubles handling the role of internal (private-side) dns and dhcp provider, or possibly that it's internal routing from private to public sides is somewhat in fault.
    I didn't keep any records, but this would correlate with a number of updates i ran on the Airport utilities, and possibly with an OSX update i received automatically.
    Airport Extreme BS version 5.7 ( 802.11b/g.. flying saucer )
    Airport Utility version (Mac): 5.3 (530.22)
    Airport utility version (Win): 5.3 (no build)
    Mac OSX 10.5.2
    1. Can anyone confirm similar issues?
    2. IS Apple aware of an issue ( i've heard from some Apple store employees that there seems to be a buzz )?
    3. Is this related to TimeCapsule release?
    Does Apple listen to these forums, and if so, perhaps it's time to give us an update eh? A little bit of collaboration to save us all this massive headache would be appreciated. Just ask and i'll give you all the information i can dump.
    Gotta hit post while i still have a connection.

    Thank you Bob
    I have taken your advice and reverted to DHCP from the AEXP do the address assignment to both Expresses, and I have taken great care with the WDS setup, but still it doesn't work.
    Looking at the logs on the WDS main, this is what I see (the station referred to being the WDS remote):
    May 10 19:49:34          Severity:5          Deauthorizing station 00:11:24:01:15:97 [2]
    May 10 19:49:54          Severity:5          Deauthenticated with station 00:11:24:01:15:97 (4-way timeout)
    (This is even with a solid green on both Expresses.)
    HOWEVER: I have just tried rebooting both of them - main followed by remote - and now they seem to have realised what they're supposed to be doing and both have IP addresses.   This is on my desk.  The next step is to see whether I can get an IP address on a device attached by wire.
    They do say patience is a virtue.  I can testify to that being true with WDS!

  • Having trouble setting up file sharing through Airport Extreme

    Hi, I am trying to set up file sharing on my USB hard drive through the Airport Extreme, on my HP laptop with Windows XP. I went through the steps in manual setup in Airport Utilities, and my hard drive shows up under the Disk Utility in the Airport Utilities, but the problem is that I cannot figure out a way to find the hard drive from Windows XP. Should it show up in My Computer? I've spent a few hours trying to figure it out and I am close to giving up. If anyone can help me solve this problem, I'd really appreciate it!!!

    I have this issue, too. Did you find a solution since you first posted?

  • Can't print to a Canon MF 4690 wirelessly through Airport Extreme

    I cannot seem to figure out why this isn't working. I just replaced a Brother printer (7 years old) that worked great wirelessly through my Airport Extreme with a Canon imageCLASS MF 4690. I found, downloaded and installed the drivers for it (10.6), but when I set up the printer, I can only print using a generic PCL driver. When I choose the Canon UFR driver, I get an error every time, when printing wirelessly or when directly connected via USB. I can see the Canon in the Airport Utility, but it won't print.
    What can I do?

    Welcome to the discussions, Joe P.!
    +What can I do?+
    You might try Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide to see it that provides some help.
    Keep in mind that not all printers are compatible with the USB port on the AirPorts, so that may possibly be the case here if the troubleshooting steps don't provide a solution. Apple does not furnish a list of compatible printers, so unfortunately it's a process of experimentation to see your device will work with the AirPort Extreme.

  • Trying to connect a second printer (this one wireless) through airport extreme.

    I am such a dufus about anything related to setup!  Can I have two printers on my network, one connected by a cable and one wirelessly?  I just purchased a second printer for my home office so that I can access both printers from my MacBook Air.  The second printer is a Brother wireless one, and am trying to do the setup but can't figure out how.  I got to the step about the printer needing to "detect which mode - WiFi Protected Setup Mode or AOSS - your access oint/router uses...I pushed the little wireless setup button at the back of airport extreme, but keep getting an error message that says the printer "cannot detect a WLAN access point/router that has WPS or AOSS enabled." 

    Hello Gee Money. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Chances are pretty good that the signal from the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) down to the MacBook may not be sufficient three floors down.
    I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with your MacBook near the AEBSn, note the readings, and then, choose the locations where you will typically use your MacBook to access the Internet ... especially the location three floors below.
    SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
    The SNR, as measured from the MacBook, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
    SNR Guideline
    o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPort. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating either the base station or the wireless clients until they are within a 20dB SNR range.

  • Video Streaming in Windows media player won't play through Airport Extreme

    Hello and thank you for reading my issue.
    I have the current square shaped airport extreme base station. My mother has a Windows XP system on her Toshiba laptop and she takes an online class which has video streaming for the lectures. When we connect to the network wirelessly or with an ethernet cable through the base station, the video will not begin to buffer and won't play from the website. It just states ready and doesn't buffer. However, if we connect the laptop straight to our cable modem without the base station, the videos stream and play perfectly. Anybody know how we can fix this to play through the wireless network? Thanks a lot.
    MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I've played with all sorts of software settings and configurations. This is what worked for me, but I'm not sure how it would work for anyone else, or if the issues are even related, but here goes.
    1 - Turn multicast rate to 1 MBPS in the drop down menu found in Airport Utility>Airport icon>Wireless Options Button.
    2 - Turn off multicast in Windows Media Player or Real Player
    3 - Turn on Video Overlay Optimization check box in Real Player.
    These things worked for me, hopefully they will help or give you some ideas for your own situtation.

  • How I Can "chain" 2 HDD and share it through Airport Extreme?

    The question is, I have an Iomega HDD 500 Gb and I want to buy another, but I want to share it through the Airport Extreme USB Share Port. The idea is to see it as a single volume (better) or as a two different HDD (worse). It's possible to chain this two HDD through firewire ports or the USB? It's possible to share more than one disk through the Airport Extreme?
    Thanks

    Only drives I been able to connect successfully and continues are OWC drives on the Airport extreme base thru usb port. I have two drive thru belkin hub connected to two 250GB from OWC drives. To back up large files take for ever. So I have changed or converted to NAS drives.
    I hope this will help you?

  • Problem connecting more than 2 clients to Airport Extreme

    I have a first-generation airport extreme base station set up with WPA2 personal password and a MacBook, MacBook Pro, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. I have been able to get them all connected to the network but never at the same time. The most I have been able to connect at once are 2 clients, most of them time it's the MacBook and the Xbox. If i want to connect any of the others I have to restart the Airport and the modem and still I am only able to have 2 connected at once.
    When i use the MacBook pro, the Airport menu bar icon shows I am connected but it doesn't actually load anything, and the browser status bar hangs on "looking for…".
    Anyone experience this? If you want to know any other network settings please ask and I will do my best to track them down. My ISP (Road Runner/Time Warner) claims its an Airport issue.
    thanks in advance.

    It could be that the Airport Extreme is configured with a range of only two IP addresses. I had my Time Capsule configured with only one IP address, and my iPhone would show that it "found" the wireless network but it didn't show an IP address so it fell back to using the cellular data network.
    If this is the problem and if you are using the AEBS as a firewall (NAT enabled), then this should be easy to fix by increasing the range of IP addresses issued by the DHCP function. If you are not using it as a firewall and are just distributing a range of addresses issued by your ISP (very unlikely), then you would need to get a larger address range from your ISP, or set up the AEBS as a firewall to share one IP address.

  • SAP NetWeaver Portal won't open through AirPort Extreme

    Hello,
    I am trying to access this site: https://ess.sobeys.com/irj/portal
    When my iMac is connected to the internet through our AirPort Extreme, the site will not load. It will also not load on any device (iPod, iPhone) connected to the network created by the AirPort Extreme.
    When I bypass the AirPort and connect the iMac directly to the internet, the site opens.
    Also, when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my iPhone and use 3G data, the site opens too.
    I can not find any info online about this. I think it may have to do with ports on the AirPort Extreme.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
