Playstation 3 via Airport Express Problems

I'm running Airport Express as my base station.
I just bought a 60 gig Playstation 3, and am trying desperately to get the wireless connection going without success.
I tried plugging the PS3 directly into the cable modem, and got no connection.
The PS3 can see the Airport, and I assigned it a static IP address, but I still cannot get Internet connectivity. And yet, here I sit in the same room making this post via my MacBook Pro whose connectivity comes from the same Airport.
Anyone have any insight?

WEP. It finds the Airport just fine, but won't pick up an IP address.
I'm going to break out my old Linksys 802.11g router and see what happens.
I've never gotten Airtunes to work on this Airport Express, and now this. I'm thinking this thing might actually be A) broken or B) a piece of crapola.

When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Maxtor Shared Storage (NAS) + Airport Express problems

Dear forum readers and network pundits,
I have just recently bought a 500Gb Maxtor Shared Storage (MSS) ethernet drive, to which I'm planning to make regular backup of files from my wirelessly connected MacBook Pro and Mac Mini. Both computers are connected to the Internet via Airport Express, which, in turn, is connected to a router/modem. The MSS is attached to an RJ45 socket on the modem, next to the Airport Express RJ45 cable.
The problem is that I cannot seem to make a proper connection to the MSS. I can access the drive's web interface through Safari, but I cannot mount it as a network drive in the Finder. When hooking up my MacBook Pro to the router/modem directly using a RJ45 cable everything works like a charm, so I know the drive works fine. The problem seems to be the transition from the wired router to Airport Express.
I'm no network wizard in any way. When things don't work from the start I'm left scratching my beard, which is why I turn to the vast bank of knowledge contained here. Please help me. Is there a button in the Airport Express settings I can push to make it work, or do I need to by more hardware?
Looking forward to your help.
Cheers,
Andreas

I think it's the mixture of wired and wireless in combination with certain routers.

Can't find certain servers connecting via Airport Express

For the last couple of weeks I've been intermittantly unable to access certain websites (time.com / nytimes.com) when connected to the Net via Airport Express. Sometimes these pages come up, more often then not, they don't. I have no problem receiving email or accessing other sites. Also, I always loose my connection when streaming news stories from NPR. However, I have no such problem when connected directly via ethernet. Thus, it seems to be some glitch with airport express. Does this make sense to anyone?

You don't describe what happens when you try to print.
Does the IP address your computer is granted in both configurations match in the first three elements (such as 10.0.1.5 and 10.0.1.7)? If not, then your AirPort Express unit is creating a new "subnet", which can cause problems when your computer tries to communicate with the printer.
Try adding the printer in the "Print & Fax" panel of System Preferences by choosing the "IP" option and entering the IP address of the printer.

Connecting computers via Airport Express

I have a problem that I've been trying to solve, but so far nothing has worked.
I have three Macs, 2 G4 PowerBooks and an iMac (Core 2 Duo) which are all connected via an Airport Express. All of the computers can access the net and my printer just fine. The iMac can connect to both of the G4s, and one of the G4s can connect to both the iMac and the other G4. The problem is that one of the G4s can only connect to the other G4, not the iMac. It's as though the iMac does not exist for it's purposes. Yet I can connect to that G4 from the iMac, just not the other way around.
Any clues as to a fix for this would be greatly appreciated.

That is what you want to select.
You jumped into the middle of this thread. What
problem do you have?
More to the point - what is YOUR problem...I think your response was a little rude...
One who has common sense can see what issue I am having simply by looking at the subject of the original post - and reading my entire post.
For your benefit, the subject is: Problems Connecting Two Computers to Cable Modem via AirPort Express.
If you read my post again, you will see that after following the advice given by Rj, I am still having problems. I will not re-post my question. Simply restating things in this post has been a waste of time.

Trying to get my Viera TX-P42S30B hooked up to me home network via Airport express with no luck.

Trying to get my Viera TX-P42S30B hooked up to my home network via Airport express with no luck.
Have tried both wired (network cable) and wireless to no avail, can't find much info online, any help appreciated !
Airport utility 5.5.3
Airport Extreme 802.11n
Airport Express 802.11g

The problem is that the AirPort Express (AX) is creating a subnet.
To prevent that, configure the AX to act as a bridge (so that it is NOT sharing a single IP address).

HT3669 Failed printer setup, bonjour via airport express on 10.8.3, unable to download drivers?

Trying to install a Samsung SCX-4500 printer over bonjour via airport express. My Mountain Lion machine sees the printer and I've manually installed the latest Samsung drivers, it says it can't find the software on Apple's servers. I just downloaded the latest drivers from Samsung directly, it did not resolve the problem.
I am unable to select printer drivers manually for the 4500; even if I manually select the 4500W drivers it still attempts to download software (unsuccessfully). It works perfectly on 2 Lion machines and a PC, unsure what the deal is.
I'm having trouble even getting the post message' button to work now, it isn't my day...

Speaker volume via Airport Express

My iTunes volume plus the volume on my speakers are both set to the maximum but the music volume is very low when I play iTunes through my speakers via Airport Express - much lower than if I plug my iPhone directly into my speakers
Any tips on how to fix this would be much appreciated
Thanks!

have you tried to power cycle your gear ?
shut everything down for 10 minutes. then, in intervals of 5 minutes, turn the modem back on, followed by the main router, the express next, and you computer last.
does the problem persist ?

Wireless Speakers via Airport Express

I have two sets of powered speakers which I play my music from iTunes via Airport Express units. My issue is after months of excellent sound and no problems, it appears I am now losing connection to the speakers which means the music stops and starts, VERY frustrating....! The internet connection via the Airport Express units is not a problem, just the music.
Has anyone had similar problems and is there an answer...??????

Epson Aculaser CX11NF printing via Airport Express

Well today has been an interesting day...
Connected printer to airport express usb port - had problems printing via this in the past but since I'd moved the printer so I could plug it into the usb port on a computer and then share it that way I thought I'd give it another go.
Macbook 10.5.2 prints perfectly first time
Powerbook 10.4.11 can see it and connect but won't print
Toshiba XP laptop) can't see it
Check out the net, try out the info I find and hey presto! Toshiba XP laptop sees and prints perfectly
Share printer via Markbook and Markintosh and Powerbook prints fine but still won't print directly via airport express.
Feels wrong that an xp book can print via an apple airport express easier than an apple laptop...
Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks for all your replies. I tried repairs pewrmissions in disk utility again and got slightly excited when printer utility automatically selected a generic post script driver but my printer just printed jibberish.
I've just run repair permission in pinter setup repair and this is my log:
The file /System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices/PrintingServices is missing!
The file /private/etc/cups/classes.conf is missing. This file is deleted when using the Reset Printing System option.
The file /private/etc/cups/ppds.dat is missing. This file is deleted when using the Reset Printing System option.
The permissions for the file /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertodymo are incorrect!
They are lrwxr-xr-x, but should be -rwxr-xr-x
Repaired.
Recreating symbolic links...
Done.
Verification complete.
2075 files examined. 1 problem was found and repaired. It is recommended that you verify the permissions again to make sure the values are correct.
3 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. Certain files and directories are deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. These files and directories, if required, will be recreated during normal printing.
Does it mean anything to anyone?

Trouble printing to Epson Workforce 435 via airport express network

We have an Epson Workforce 435 printer that connects wirelessly to our home network via Airport Express. After we switched to AT&T, we could no longer print from our Windows 7 PC connected to the network via Airport as well. Our Macbook air works just fine. The printer's network status sheet says it is connected, but it's like our computer can't find it on the network. Can't ping the printer's IP address either.

Okay, I have checked the settings on the AX - it is set up to be 802.11b/g compatible, so that doesn't appear to be the problem.
I had a friend come over with her macbook - she was able to detect the wireless network, but wasn't able to connect to it, even when I gave her the password. Does this help diagnose the problem?
Here is additional information about how the AX is currently configured:
In the Airport tab in AirPort Utility:
Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
Radio Mode: 802.11b (802.11b/g compatible)
Channel: 1
Wireless security: WEP
MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
In the Internet tab in Airport Utility:
Connect using: Ethernet
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
Ethernet WAN port: Automatic
Connection sharing: Off (Bridge mode)
I have tried turning wireless security off, but that didn't help the problem. I have also tried turning MAC Address Access Control to Timed Access, inputted the MAC address of the printer, and gave it permission to access the network all day, everyday, but this didn't work either. I have looked at changing the connection sharing settings, but I don't really understand what I'm doing here, so I am reluctant to mess with things much. This seems like the most promising potential solution?
Thanks!

HP printer not printing via Airport Express

I have a HP DeskJet D2330 printer that I am trying to use via Airport Express. The issue is that while the printer is detected in the Airport Utility, and is detected in System Preferences as a Bonjour printer, I can't print to it. Documents sent to the printer appear in the queue and then disappear but no pages come out of the printer.

Hi - similar problem. Mine talked a little (test page would print about ~1 inch then grind to halt). No luck with escalated apple network tech. Problem (apple sez) is with HP. HP is quiet but has list of printers "likely" to work with Airport Extreme , but dated (indicates rendezvous with extreme vice bonjour). FYI, my printer works fine when USB direct to mac. Also Works fine from Mac or PC as ethernet-connected printer on home network (with Linksys/N Giga router) as network printer (also sets up as "bonjour" printer for what that is worth). Also problem exists with imac connected to Airport extreme via wireless or wired. So...problem seems to be pretty specific to talking via airport extreme USB. Havent tried to use ethernet yet, but need the slot for other equip.
Anyone else having any luck?
Also anyone have proven good printer hookup? I need photo quality printer.

Connecting via AirPort Express: Performance Help Needed.

Hello,
I'm grateful for ideas, instruction, pointers to threads I may have missed re: improving performance/determining the cause of poor performance when connecting via AirPort Express.
The deal: Up to 6 devices are connected to our AirPort Express. Only three of these are ever used simultaneously, though all remain "on," in either sleep or hybernate mode. Performance across the network is terribly uneven. Current data rate stats (a snapshot by way of the AirPort utility, in order of distance from the router):
iMac: 130 Mb/s
Printer: 54 Mb/s
Macbook Pro: 144 Mb/s
iPhone: currently "off"
PC (Connected via Belkin USB-type Wireless Adapter): 2 Mb/s
iPad: 39 Mb/s
Note: the Macbook Pro is often located in a room farthest from the hub, some 120 feet away and with partial direct line of site. Still, its performance is unimpeded.
At first glance, logic would dictate the worst problem is on the PC and caused by the Belkin adapter. But I've swaped that out for different USB solutions. Performace is seldom improved.
Wondering if:
a) The PC problem is in the data transfer rate of the PC bus. (Foregive me if I'm using "bus" incorrectly here. I'm guessing you'll know what I mean.) Or is it the nature of the USB adapters?
b) Please also note that the Printer, which sits close to the router, often has a drop in data rate, sometimes to the single digits.
Again, I'm grateful for ideas, instruction, or pointers. Also for wisdom on "extending" the network, perhaps by adding another AirPort device. I'm rather clueless about such stuff.
Thanks in advance- Best for the weekend-

Thanks,
I'm pretty sure the card is seated properly (it works most of the time after all). I couldn't get it to work when I installed it because it wasn't seated properly, I pushed it in as far as it could possibly go and it has worked since (except after extended periods of use). The Airport express is three feet from the eMac with only a couple of bits of wood between them. The connection does not go down at times which I can link with the use of any particular appliances (When the eMac stops working, the iBook is always fine, even in a similar position). It is the apparently time-dependent aspect that I can't figure out (I only notice it on those, fairly infrequent, occasions when I am online for a few hours at a time). The eMac discussion group is a good tip. Ta.

Unable to print to my Oki C3200 via Airport Express

Hi
I wish to print wirelessly via Airport Express using my Oki C3200 printer. I have followed all the recommended install procedures.
I am using a Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit PC, have configured the printer with Bonjour for Windows, and still cannot print.
The printer works fine if connected by USB direct to the PC.
Any help appreciated.

Yes, my iMac is hooked to my Airport Extreme through it's ethernet port.
