Our airport extreme network works fine with our 6 devices. But when someone comes over and tries to log on, they can't until we restart the airport. Then they can get on, but it knocks one of our devices off the network. Any ideas?

I have not done a factory reset, I was trying to find out if I had some setting configured wrong first. I figured I'd just make things worse if went through a reset!
Here is a couple of screen shots:

I have a new Airport Extreme that works great with my IMac but keeps dropping out on our Windows 7 PC. I have tried all 11 2.4 Ghz channels and they all have dropout issues. Any suggestions?

Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?

Airport Extreme N works fine but not when WDS activated

I replaced my old Airport Extreme by the new 802.11n.
Works fine with our Macbooks (pro) enabled for n.
But when I activate WDS (I'd like to use my old airport Express for airtunes sometimes), an error message appears (WDS error) in the summary, and the light flashes alternatively in green and yellow... Everything else seems to work (internet connexion), but it seems no WDS possible... If I swtich it off, everything is just fine and green...
Of course I reinitialized the base, I once used the Airport utility assistant and then manually reput my personal options. I upgraded my airport firmware to 7.1 and WDS error message is still there with the flashing light... And I tried to see if my old express would make it but nope.

I had similar issues. To roll the firmware back to an earlier version try this:
- With the option key depressed, launch the Airport Utility (located: /Applications/Utilities)
- Select your problematic extreme base station and then while holding option again, click "Continue" and then choose Manual Setup.
- It should prompt you to choose a firmware version to upload. You can select 7.0 or 7.1.
The process is a little different on PC. Let me know if this solves your problem or if you need the directions for doing this from within Windows!

Extended router's network for Airport extreme. Works well with MacbookPro. I can print with notebook with XP SP3 and, I can see the USB-harddisc in the Airport service program but, I cannot use it. I have set filesharing etc. What do I do wrong?

I connected the Airport Extreme wireless to the existing network of my router. At the Airport there is connected via USB a Printer and three hard discs. All works well on my MacBook Pro - I can print and use the hard discs. On my notebook and my desktop, both with XP-SP3 I can use the printer only. In the Airport service program - manual set up - hard discs I can see the drives with the correct names but I cannot work with it. I don't find neithe the Airport Extreme nor the drives in the Windows Explorer. Of course I've set 'filesharing' etc. What do I do wrong? Where is the mistake in the set up?

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.

Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

Airport Extreme Card work fine on new Mac Pro (Early 2008)?

I was looking at this Airport Extreme Card ( http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=MTg 5Njg&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/networking&nplm=M8881LL/A ). Is it simple enough to install? And does it work? I'm not a complete noob, and I have built my own PC before, but I'm wondering if there were any quirks when installing this since I'm fairly new with Mac Hardware.

You do not need to have the Extreme base station. It is possible to set up the Express to "share" the routers internet capabilities and provide it through the ethernet port thus to your computer.
You do however need to setup the Airport express to match some setting at the original base station(router). Unless your IT savvy, this could prove to be a hard task for the everyday user.
If your trying to sustain high transfer rates... wired is always the solution. I personally used a 100ft Cat-6 cable, wired up through my large apartment ceiling to give "connected" benefits to various electronics at the other end. And the cable costs less than 99 dollars
Your other option is to get what is called an extender.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=23680 17&Sku=N100-2096&SRCCODE=GOOGLEBASE&CMP=OTC-GOOGLEBASE
This one here works on the G network, and is even a netgear product. This also costing less than the Express.
Hope this helps

Why is everything on my Frame-relay network working fine with different encapsulation types ?

I have a cisco frame-relay switch with the encapsulation type on IETF.
I have a cisco router with
the encapsulation type on cisco.
Still everything works fine.
How come when it is a different dlsi byte structure ?
Is it because also my switch is a cisco and it uses cisco encap afterall ?

A cisco router will understand both the IETF and normal Cisco encapsulation when receiving data regardless of configuration. However, depending on the configuration, it will only send one type.

Works fine with Integrated WLS, NPE when deployed

I have an application that runs fine on my Integrated WLS.
But, when I deploy it to our production environment, I get a Null Point Exception.
        DCBindingContainer bc =
            (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
        DCIteratorBinding sItr = bc.findIteratorBinding("Empmaster1Iterator");
        Row currentRow = sItr.getCurrentRow();
        String fName = (String)currentRow.getAttribute("FirstName");Curiously, the NPE occurs on the VERY first retrieval of data from the database (the same database I am using in Integrated WLS).
The NPE occurs on the last line in the above code snippet.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Arie,
as you got a NPE at
String fName = (String)currentRow.getAttribute("FirstName");means that at the time you run this code there is no current row defined for the 'Empmaster1Iterator'.
The question now is why don't you have a current row?
One reason can be that the iterator simply doesn't have a row. With the information provided we can only guess. However, you should check if you get a row before using the row. If you get null you have to decide what to do,

Airport extreme 5.8 ghz with a netgear router at 2.4 ghz?

We will be getting a new imac which I would like to run wirelessly as part of a home system with two other ethernet connected macs and a wireless PC laptop. We expect to get substantial interference and would like to get the airport extreme and run it at 5.8 ghz to avoid home problems. Our current netgear, which works fine with the laptop, runs on the 2.4 spectrum. Is it possible to connect the netgear to the airport extreme and continue to use the wireless part of the netgear router/switch for the pc laptop (and avoid purchase of a new wireless card).. and have the imac at the 802.11n speed and the higher bandwidth because of the extreme router? Hope I explained this correctly. thanks.

bkenney1, Welcome to the discussion area!
Yes it is possible to operate the Netgear at 2.4 GHz while operating the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) at 5 GHz.
This is a 'dual band' network. It is discussed in the Apple documentation and in several threads in this area.

Please help Apple??? It worked fine with Snow Leopard??

I recently upgraded to Lion and now cant see my Windows 7 laptop in network? Or see my macbook Air 2010 on my win7 laptop. Please help Apple??? It worked fine with Snow Leopard??

You're not addressing Apple here, you are addressing a user based community. An Apple employee may read your post but he/she will not officially respond to it.
You didn't say if your networking is Wi-Fi or USB Dongle based so I'm assuming Wi-Fi in this response. If you do a search of the forums you will find that quite a few are having Wi-Fi issues with Lion--things that worked fine with Snow Leopard are flakey or don't work at all with Lion so your problem may be another instance of the Wi-Fi issues in Lion. If not, then perhaps someone with knowledge of your specific issue will post. I see my other Macs (MBP, 24" iMac, 27" iMac all running Lion) fine but I don't have a PC to test.

Thank you for your answer, but this is exactly the thread I used and that I mentionned in my first message !!!
this jasper example works fine with Creator only with the provided jasper file and the provided library. If I try to compile the jrxml provided, to change the library and so on, it doesn't work anymore, I don't know why.
