Parallels with Windows XP and connecting to Airport Extreme Wifi

I would like to be able to go on the web on the Parallels side of my MacBookPro but can't seem to do it. Does anyone know the workflow in Parallels/Windows XP to connect that side of my laptop to my Wifi connection? I've tried Network Connections > Create New Connection, but it doesn't work. I also tried Control Panels > Wireless Network Setup, which allows me to select the name of my Airport Extreme to add a new computer to the network. However, when I click Next, I get Use a USB flash drive or Set up a network manually. It still doesn't let me connect the Windows side to the Internet via the Wifi connection, and I don't think the Wifi connection is working on that side. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen

P.S. Under Network Connections > Details, it says
Local Area Connection
LAN or High-Speed Internet
Connected
Parallels Network Adapter
IP Address:
(address shown)
Subnet Mark: (shown)
Automatic Private Address
When I go to Internet Explorer, it says I'm not connected. ???

  • Windows XP lost connection to airport extreme base station

    I had a perfect connection after setting up my Airport Extreme with my Mac Book Pro and my HP laptop and one HP desktop then when trying repair media center. I did install the airport utility in XP but when trying to scan it cannot pick up my base station. It worked perfect before now I am at a hold and I don't know what direction to take.
    Some questions.
    How do I find the IP address on my Airport?
    Do I need to create a new wireless network since the airport utility does not pick up the base station?
    When I search available networks on the PC why doesn't mine show up?
    Can someone point out the steps to take to get this crappy PC back on the internet, oh by the way it's my wife's and now she's on mine and I need to get her back on hers ASAP!
    Thanks I appreciate your time to help out!

    >How do I find the IP address on my Airport?
    The default LAN-side IP address of the AirPort/Time Capsule is: 10.0.1.1.
    >Do I need to create a new wireless network since the airport utility does not pick up the base station?
    You shouldn't have to. Assuming that the base station is still providing a wireless network, you should be able to access it with the AirPort Utility. To do so, run the utility, and then, select File > Configure Other ... from the utility's menu bar. Enter 10.0.1.1 in the Address window and the Base Station Password in the Password window. If you did not change the Base Station Passwork, the default is "public."
    If you are still unable to access the base station via the utility, then try temporarily connecting an Ethernet cable between the computer and the base station ... and then, try accessing it again.

  • Using Time Machine with 3rd party drive connected to Airport Extreme

    In Snow Leopard, I connected a G-Tech drive to my Airport Extreme via USB and used that with Time Machine for backups.  It worked flawlessly most of the time, although my understanding is that this technique has not been supported by Apple since Snow Leopard was released.  Is anybody using this method in Lion?  If so, does it work OK?
    I got a little worried reading about the issues some folks have had doing Time Machine backups in Lion so instead of trying that method, I got another drive and connected it via FireWire to my MacBook Pro for backing up in Time Machine.  The first backup took a little over an hour.  The second one took just a few moments.  I do notice that my hard drive stays mounted on my desk top even when Time Machine is inactive.  Is this normal? 

    Lots of people do this, but it is not supported and there have been reports of data corruption even if things appeared to be working for quite some time.  The question you have to ask yourself is whether it is worth the risk.  This is a backup, after all.  An unreliable backup is worse than no backup (because you think you have one when you may not).
    What you have experienced with your external drive is all normal.  The first backup takes quite a while because it is both large and there are lots of small files to copy.  (Copying lots of small files is slower than copying a few large ones.)  Subsequent backups will usually be much faster.  One hour for the initial backup is actually very fast.  Finally, external drives remain mounted even when Time Machine is not using them, unlike network drives which are only kept mounted while the backup is active.

  • Windows laptop STOPPED connecting to Airport Extreme

    I have a Macbook w MacOS 10.6.4 and a Airport Extreme 802.11n + Time Capsule. The Airport Extreme is also connected to an External HDD.
    My problem is that my Win XP laptop used to connect fine to the AE wifi network till 3 weeks back...but now does not. The WinXP laptop can see the network but does not connect to the Wifi. I see a line saying 'IP address not assigned'
    Can someone help me out?
    Thanks

    I powered down the cable modem, Router, laptop, wireless bridge etc. and then powered them up after waiting for 10 mins with the sequence being
    1. modem
    2. router - Airport Extreme n
    3. laptop
    4. wireless bridge
    Win XP laptop still does not connect. The wireless bridge (Buffalo Technologies WLI TX4 AG300N) gives the following error message...
    "Home network available. IP address not acquired. Enable DHCP on router."

  • Macbook taking awhile to see and connect to Airport Extreme

    Hi yes, this might be a simple fix as I'm doing all the software updates right now. This has been going on for a little while and I'm just curious to know why when I open the Macbook from sleep, it takes a good 15-20 seconds to pop-up that it has connected to the Airport Extreme. My brother stopped by the other night with his Macbook Pro and had no problems. His connected in about 1-2 seconds after opening his up. He said his seemed to be browsing the net fine while I can feel myself age as I browse the net on my Macbook. The Macbook is the 13" 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, not the 2, model. If anyone has any fixes for this, or know or have had this problem, please forward along any info. I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

    Yes and no.
    The MacBook Pro's case is metal where the cases of the MacBooks are polycarbonate.
    Since metal attenuates RF frequencies, MacBook Pros (and before then PowerBooks) have always had slightly worse AirPort performance than MacBooks (and before that iBooks.)
    However the difference should not be so great as to prevent you from getting onto your local network unless it's a very weak signal to begin with.

  • Windows 7 & HD connected to Airport Extreme

    I have an external hard drive connected to an airport extreme base station.  The drive is formatted in FAT32 and can be read by both a mac and a pc when attached directly to the computers.
    My windows 7 machine sees the network, sees the drive and when i click it all it says is ".com.apple.airport.sharepoint"
    Airport is configured to share files and disks.
    PLEASE HELP

    Apple does not support using a disk drive connected to the AEBS which is most likely why support for it is disappearing.

  • I'm having trouble with my HP plotter connection to Airport Extreme

    I have connected Airport Extreme in my office. It seems to be connecting to the internet, however I have my HP 800PS plugged into the USB on it and I keep getting that the "printer is off line." Can someone help me? I just thought I could plug in the plotter to airport extreme and it would work.
    Thanks,
    Dee

    Did you "install" the printer/plotter again?
    Open Print and Fax
    Click on the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to start the process
    Hopefully, your Plotter/printer will show up
    If yes, click to highlight the name of the device
    Click Add
    Now try to print. It will appear as if you have two of the same printers. You must choose the correct "location" to print.
    I do not know if a Plotter is supported at the AirPort Extreme. If the device does not "show up" after you click the plus button, the Plotter is not going to work when connected to the AirPort Extreme. You will need to connect it directly to your computer.

  • WET610N Won't Connect to Airport Extreme WiFi

    Hi all - really strange goings-on.
    I have an Airport Extreme base station, configured using WPA2 Personal.
    I am trying to setup my WET610N wireless bridge, but it will not connect to the wireless network created by my Airport Extreme.
    I use the bridge's web interface to set the password and connect it to my network.  My SSID is not broadcast, so I type it in and select WPA2 Personal as the encryption type.  I have tried using both the 'AES' and 'AES and TKIP' selections on that security screen to no avail.
    I have double-checked that the SSID and passphrase are correct and match my wireless network.  I have two cellphones and a Wii that all connect to this wireless network with no problems.
    It *looks* like the WET610N is seeing the network, as I see an additional 'wireless client' popup in my Airport base station configuration screen for a few seconds before going away.  This is synchronized with the 'wifi' light on the front of the bridge staying on for about 5 seconds straight.
    I have tried the reset button and started from scratch.  Same result.  Any specific configuration that I need to enable on my base station?  Other suggestions?  Thanks!!

    Sorry, thought I answered you - it's on DHCP.  It should be automatically getting an IP, and it is.  That is how I can connect to the router's web page - 192.168.0.107 (or whatever the IP the device was given).
    Do you think I would have better luck if I switched the device to a static IP?  Is the subnet mask always 255.255.0.0 when setting to a static IP?

  • Running parallels with windows xp. want to upgrade my Quickbooks to 2013, but it will not recognize the disc.  Help!

    running parallels with windows xp and OS X Lion.  Trying to upgrade my Quickbooks on the windows side to the new 2013 version.  The windows side does not even recognize the disc.  What am I doing wrong?

    S that QB edition is only for windows 8. It won't run on any earlier version of windows.
    Looking at the QB 2013 system requirement it runs on XP.
    http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/articles/INF21187
    So the version of windows is not your problem. Your problem is the virtual machine is not se to use the mac dvd drive. Have you looking into the machine settings. Not windows settings, the virtual machine settings. Make sure it is set to connect the mac dvd drive to the virtual machine.
    A good place to start would be the parallels help system. Not the windows help system.

  • I have an Airport Extreme, 2 laptops with windows 7 and a wireless HP printer.  I can connect the laptops to the printer.  Any advise?

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    Cisco vpn client..
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • I have a new PC laptop with Windows 7 and Office 2010. I have an Airport Extreme, and installed Bonjour on my laptop. Bonjour "sees" my printer. When I try to print, the printer lights up -- but doesn't print. anyone have an idea? Thanks Gregg

    Hi Kelly,
    As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
    Start with the section titled Check the network.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,
    Brett L 

  • I have mountain lion OSX and parallels with Windows.  Every time I click on a hyperlink in other applications it opens - some 7 Zip file explorer inside Parallels but doesn't go to Safari.  Does anyone know solution?

    I have mountain lion OSX and parallels with Windows.  Every time I click on a hyperlink in other applications it opens - some 7 Zip file explorer inside Parallels but doesn't go to Safari.  Does anyone know solution?

    I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
    Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again

    +You may have already done this, but do you have the first AirPort Express configured to "Allow this network to be extended"?+
    Could not find that setting anywhere.
    It's in AirPort Utility, AirPort panel, Wireless tab.
    When I'm within the range of the base station I connect normally, but further away the connection drops despite the fact that the other Airport is very close and light is green. Interestingly, my PB Pro has signal almost everywhere in the house, but my iPhone and Mac Mini don't. Most likely just a hardware difference?
    In AirPort Utility with the second Express, in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow wireless clients"?
    The second AP does show an IP address: 10.0.1.3.
    With a "Configure IPv4" setting of "Using DHCP", that suggests that the second Express really is connecting to the first Express. In that case I have no other explanation of your your problem.

  • Airport Base Station Agent with Windows 7 and 8.1

    I am running an older HP desktop with Windows 7 and installed/set up Airport Base Station Agent successfully. I am in the process of transferring primary network control over to a newer HP Laptop with 8.1. The older computer will be retired eventually.
    Can both computers be running the Airport Base Station Agent and not disturb the Airport Base Station Agent setup?
    Or, to avoid potential Windows 7/8 conflicts, should I install the Airport Base Station Agent on the Windows 8.1 and delete/uninstall it on the Windows 7 computer (and would that require setting up again?). I am using an Airport Extreme with an Airport Express (802.11n) as an extension. Both Windows systems are fully up to date with Microsoft and HP support.

    I probably can go ahead and download/install Airport Utility on the new HP Envy Windows 8.1 (AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows) and not be worried about conflicts with the 2 computers and different Windows?
    There is no conflict.

  • I am unable to get Airport Extreme WiFi to work with Windows 8 Sony Laptop

    My Airport Extreme WiFi works with my Mac Book Pro, iphones, ipad and DVR's, but will not work WiFi with my Sony VAIO laptop running Windows 8.  Although it does work with the laptop using a ethernet cable.  Has anyone else had this issue and can you please tell me how to resolve the problem?

    Windows can have issues with the wireless name.
    Make sure the name conforms to windows standard.
    Short, 2-20 characters
    No spaces,
    Pure alphanumeric.
    eg AEwifi is a good wireless name.
    Fred Blog's Airport Extreme Wireless87AD34 is a really bad name.
    Test also by removing the security and just see if you can connect if the short name doesn't help.
    WPA2 Personal is really the only security worthy of the name and the password should be mix of upper and lower case plus numbers.. keep it pure alphanumeric also.
    Set fixed wireless channels at least for 2.4ghz may help, depending on your location geo standards wise.
    Test 11, 6, 1 in that order. With no security briefly. And a short name. (different name on the two bands is also a good idea).
    Then wireless is not compatible.. you should download another driver for whatever wireless card the Sony uses.. intel most likely and they have a reputation as lousy. So download latest and a few prior to that as well.
