Please dont pick on me - Connect Windows PC through my Airport

I am running a G4 Dual Processor with full RAM. I am unemployed and will start Windows certification classes to get hired. I have a P1 PC that I want to connect to my DSL service through my Airport. What do I need to do? Cost isn't an object.

You will need to get a wireless (802.11g) adapter for the PC.
I am presuming that you have an Airport base station.

  • Trouble connecting Windows 2000 PC to Airport Extreme

    I'm having trouble connecting a PC running Windows 2000 to my Airport Extreme Base Station. The PC is using a D-Link wireless USB 2.0 adapter (802.11g) to connect to the internet. The PC would connect without problem when I was using a D-Link wireless router but will not connect with the new Apple base station.
    In addition to the Windows 2000 PC I have a Windows XP PC (connected via ethernet), an iBook G4 and an Epson printer connected to the Airport Extreme and they all work without a problem.
    Can anyone tell me how to solve my problem with the Windows 2000 machine?
    Thanks.

    I am having the same issue; since you did not seem to receive any replies on this forum, am wondering if you resolved the problem; am also wondering if my issue is the distance from my Airport Extreme base to the Windows PC. My next step is going to be to try moving the Apple router closer to the Windows PC and see if that Linksys wireless picks up the signal.

  • Mac Book pro can't connect to Internet through Apple airport extreme base station

    I had problems connecting to the internet in the past with my macbook pro.  One day it suddenly started working again but then I bought a second apple TV I lost connectivity.  I have tried changing the IP address manually and while it shows me connected to the wifi I am still with out internet.  When I hooked up the new Apple TV that I bought it booted my computer from it's ip address.  The apple TV though wouldn't work and now nor would my computer.  I ended up setting the Apple TV's ip address manually and now it works fine. My computer on the other hand does not no matter if I set it manually or not.  Even if I plug in the ethernet cable from the base station it doesn't work.  It show that it has a self assigned IP address.  After I set it manually it shows that I am connected both via wifi and the ethernet cable but I can't connect to the internet.  If I plug the modem directly into the computer bypassing the base station I get internet and it is using the IP address that worked originally.
    It has something to do with the connection from the base station to my computer but this is odd considering every other device I have: iPhone 4, apple tv, apple tv, apple mini with retina display all work perfectly via wifi (newest apple tv had to be set manually as I stated above but now works fine).  When I check the ip of the base station itself it seems to be different from the ip of the computer when the computer was connected directly to the router.  I don't understand why my computer now can't connect to the internet via the base station whether it be wifi or by ethernet.  Can you please help me trouble shoot this?
    I have an AirPort Extreme base station which allows up to 50 users and a 30 meg connection speed.
    I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

    It has something to do with the connection from the base station to my computer
    I don't think so..
    I just posted a reply which totally vanished.. strange strange website now.
    Please post some screenshots of your AE setup from the airport utility.. I want to see the summary page, then the network and internet tab.
    Please tell us what modem you use.. is it a router??
    If you have satellite or 3G wimax etc service they often are limited to 5 IP addresses... the AE takes one and then 4 more devices can join .. no more.
    You need to also give us the screenshot of the IP you are getting in a computer that works.
    EDIT
    Sorry this is half double post.. the previous page refused to display.. now it has returned..

  • How can I print with a Windows computer through the AirPort?

    Basically, I'm a college student in a dorm room with a wireless HP printer. I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch with Snow Leopard and my roommate has an Asus Eee PC with Windows XP. I use an Apple AirPort Express router and print through it with my computer wirelessly. Is there any way my roommate can print wirelessly from his computer? So far, I haven't figured out how to set it up and he just uses my computer whenever he needs to print something.

    Since the printer has its own wireless built-in, as opposed to it connecting via USB to the Airport Express, then there shouldn't be an issue for the Asus to connect to the printer, providing it can connect to the Express also via wireless.
    Unless someone here knows otherwise, I suggest you check the HP web site in case there is an additional utility required for XP to add a network wireless printer.
    Usually, a network printer is added by selecting Local Printer, rather than Network as this is looking for server shared printers, and then you create a New Port and select Standard TCP/IP for the port type.

  • Connecting Windows Mobile 5 to Airport Network

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to do it? I have a windows mobile 5 PDA, which I am trying to connect to my home Airport Network(it is running on WPA2 Personal Security). I have spent many hours trying to configure it without any luck. I am totally stuck with configurations and security settings for the Win 5.0 device... if only windows was OS was made by Apple!

    Hi craiglud,
    Thanks for your suggestion. I have not even got to that stage yet I am afraid.
    When I am trying to connect to my Airport network – I get a message (on my PDA) “please enter the network key” however, when I am trying to enter a password which I set up for my home network – it does not eat it – says incorrect. I set it up with a password not with a hexadecimal key, it says on my Apple Airport Config utility that the hexadecimal key has to be 64 characters long, however, the PDA says it cannot be that long.
    Can you tell me which settings did you enter for your Win Mobile device? Especially in the “Configure Network Authentication” panel there are several lines: “Authentication”, “Data Encryption”, and then the “key is automatically provided”.
    What really annoys me is that my PDA (iPAQ) came without any information on how to configure the wireless network!
    Thanks in advance – and I am glad it is working with you!
    If I ever manage to set it up I am going to post a HOWTO so that others can work through it.

  • Trouble connecting Windows 7 PC to Airport Extreme

    I cannot get my work pc to connect wirelessly to the Airport Extreme.  PC connects fine via ethernet.  All other devices in the house are Apple and work fine.
    Thanks

    Since you have other wireless devices connecting successfully, I will assume that your windows pc can 'see' the network ssid, and you are using the correct password.
    The only thing I can think of is you may have a wireless firewall enabled (either 3rd party or microsoft) that may be preventing you from connecting. try turning all you firewall protection off and see if that works. also, make sure your windows wireless connection properties are configured for dhcp, if that is how your network is set up.

  • How to connect to Internet through a LAN

    Hi everybody !!!
    Please show me how to connect to Internet through a LAN (through another computer).
    On Windows XP system, i use the following informations to do that:
    + My IP: 192.168 .1.45
    +subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    +default getway: 192.168.1.12 (IP of another machine)
    +Preferred DNS server: 85.255.192.2
    +Alternate DNS server: 195.131.52.130
    and in IE i use the proxy server: 192.168.1.12:8080
    Thanks alot !!!

    Just how is the one computer connecting to the internet? What type of connection does the office have, DSL, Cable or is it a Data connection through a Cell phone provider.
    I doubt all other computer are doing Ad-Hoc but are probably Sharing the Internet connection with Internet Connection Sharing from that one Windows base PC.
    All you khave to do is Connect to that same WiFi SSID name and have the correct password for it.

  • Connecting a PC to an airport

    Please Help!
    I have set up my cable modem to my Airport. It's an old Airport, so that may be the first of my issues.
    I have no problems connecting my iBook through the Airport, but I'm trying to hook up my roommate's PC (Toshiba using a Linksys Wireless-B Notebood Adapter 2.4GHz) to the airport.
    I went into Airport Setup Utility configuration and clicked on the password icon. Here's the catch....it gives me a WEP password, but it's only 10 digits. From what I've been reading, it requires a larger number of digits (13 or 26.)
    But I also disabled Network security (reluctantly) and the PC is still not able to connect. The PC says it's connected to the wireless, but it's not connecting to the internet.
    I'm wondering if it's a compatability issue with the wireless-B adapter, or is it an ISP problem. I have DHCP.
    Also, how can I change the number of digits assigned in Airport Setup Utility configuration?
    If anyone can help, my roommate would really appreciate it!
    Thanks,
    Erin

    I went into Airport Setup Utility configuration and
    clicked on the password icon. Here's the catch....it
    gives me a WEP password, but it's only 10 digits.
    From what I've been reading, it requires a larger
    number of digits (13 or 26.)
    It could be using 40/64 bit WEP which uses a ten digit HEX key.
    But I also disabled Network security (reluctantly)
    and the PC is still not able to connect. The PC says
    it's connected to the wireless, but it's not
    connecting to the internet.
    If you disable WEP and still can't connect then it more than likely is NOT a WEP issue.
    Is the PC getting a valid IP address from the Airport, in other words something like 10.0.1.x and not a 169.x.x.x address?

    i am a OS10.7.4 user. yesterday i bought a Lacie external hard disk but error message appear said " You cant open the applicant LaCie setup assistant because PowerPC applicants are no longer support". please help me how to connect my mac with Lacie??

    You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

  • Sender file adapter is not picking the file from windows server

    Hi Experts,
    We have a sender file adapter running on Unix server. Now we have changed the source directory path from Unix to Windows in file access parameters.  It is not picking the files from windows directory and not showing any error.
    In this scenario, input file for sender adapter is *.xml and no content conversion.
    Could any one please let me know is there anything needs to changed in file adapter.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sridhar. M

    Sridhar,
    What do you have in the directory path?
    If it is a shared drive in unix then the directory in windows should also be a shared drive from XI system. Else if it is FTP check the address.

  • Please Dont say "Yes" ...Updating Itunes

    Hello Everyone,
    Please please please dont say YES ... i tried to update itunes to the latestest version last Saturday, it downloaded to the prompt screen where is says "RUN" software, UNFORTUNATELY my 16 year old wanted to use MSN and crashed the PC
    Now everytime i try to double click itunes on the desk top it wont open and says something like "cannot open, not all components installed"
    Is there anyway i can reinstall without loosing all her library??? if so there will be floods of tears!!!! it took me/her months to build up her library!!!
    Any help would be very gratefully recieved
    All the best and Smiles (i hope)
    Julian

    Is there anyway i can reinstall without loosing all her library???
    Well, in spite of your plea, I'm going to say "yes". Yes, you can probably reinstall iTunes without losing the library. But I would strongly suggest that you make a backup of any tracks that you/she purchased from the iTunes Music Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace before you reinstall, just in case something goes further amiss.
    BTW, if by "PC" you mean that you're running a Windows system, for future questions or if you experience problems reinstalling, you'll normally get the best and quickest advice if you post in the iTunes for Windows area.

  • Cannot connect Windows 7 laptop to USB HDD attached to Airport Extreme

    I would appreciate anyone's help regarding the following issue. The situation is as follows:
    Laptop with Windows 7 installed
    Laptop connects to Airport Extreme (5th generation) through Wifi
    An external HDD (WD Elements 1TB) is attached to the Airport Extreme's USB
    The external HDD is visible in Airport Utility and should work fine, as far as the Airport Utility is concerned
    The external HDD is also visible in Windows Explorer and works fine when I attach it directly to the laptop's USB
    However, I cannot access the HDD from my laptop when it's connected to the Airport Extreme's USB
    I've followed all the steps described in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1331 for mapping a network drive, so I've done the following:
    I opened "Map Network Drive"
    I selected an unused drive letter
    I checked the Airport Extreme for the correct IP address (in my case: 10.0.1.1) and the HDD for its correct name (in my case called: "Backup")
    I entered the correct path to the drive, using the above IP address and HDD's name
    After doing all this, I keep receiving the following error message: "Windows cannot access \\10.0.1.1\Backup. Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try and identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose."
    Details of the error message are as follows: "Error code: 0x80070035. The network path was not found."
    When I select "Diagnose", Windows indicates that the external device or the external source does not accept the connection.
    Access to the Airport Extreme is password protected. Same for the HDD. However, Windows does not prompt me to give the username and password, which might be causing the problem.
    Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    If you are connected by wireless.. it is actually wireless that is the problem.
    30MB file (please try and use b for bits and B for Bytes.. )
    that works out around 300Mb (with overheads).
    That is 60Mbit/s average speed.. and for wireless I would say that is pretty good. (Real world transfer speed you can expect 1/2-1/4 of link speed.. and tending to the lower end of that. )
    Plug the computer in by ethernet and get a speed for transfer of a single large file.. try something of the 1GB sort of size. A movie file for instance works fine.
    Ethernet should be faster than any other step in the process.. assuming gigabit of course.. and that will then give you the upper limit speed.. but I would expect around 10MB/s max speed and maybe a bit less than that. USB on a router is choked because it is processor intensive. Most routers only manage that speed and sometimes a lot less.
    Wireless on 5ghz band is faster than 2.4ghz if you are up close. It is worthwhile forcing the 5ghz connection if you want better wireless speed.
