can any one help me..to connect to internet using my new airport xtreme..
1.i have cable connected to the Base sation-(WAN)--we have wan connection(Hope it is correct)
2. i did not see the any light glowing back of the airport station..i don't know the reason..it is glowing in the LAN ports but not in the WAN.port.
3. In the network i see the green light says.. u have connected to the internet through the base station.. but the indication in the base station glows amber(flashing)
i know when the connection is established the indication will be green;; but not happening..pls help
stars n sky

Howdy!
If you and your computers are all happy with the way the AEBS (n) is set up, you can get the light to stop blinking (it is whining at you when it blinks).
Open the AEBS (n) with the AirPort utility, and you should see the entry "Base Station Status:" on the second line in the Summary screen. It will say something like "error", and if you click on the yellow status light, the AEBS (n) will go to another screen telling you why it is whining. On this screen, you can tell the AEBS (n) not to bother you with the error. It should make the light stop blinkin' and go green.
However, I would suggest that you fix the issue; but as I said, if you and your computers are happy, you can make the AEBS (n) forget about the error.
Cheers!

Error message "not connected via PPPoE" when trying to connect using airport wireless

I cannot connect to my wireless internet connection using my ibook laptop. Using airport, I keep getting the message "host cannot find the PPPoE" or something like that. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi, Bob. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it? ("iBook" covers a lot of different Mac models, each with different capabilities.)
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Which version of the operating system is it running now?
What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

Problem connecting using opmn

Hi all,
i have some problems connecting remotely to an ejb application using
opmn.
I use OAS 10.1.2 installed on a linux redhat, on my machine (windows
xp) i have j2ee application deployed in a oc4j stand alone 10.1.2 ,
whose services must connect via rmi to an ejb application deployed in
the application server on the server. I have defined a file of
properties on the local machine, where i have set the paramters to
connect to the server, the content of this file is like this:
java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=opmn:ormi://deploy:6004:S3/EjbApp
java.naming.security.principal=userlogin
java.naming.security.credentials=userpassword
dedicated.rmicontext=true
where S3 is the name of the instance in the oas.
Trying to connect to the application EjbApp, as described in the
properties i have the error:
javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup error: java.io.EOFException:
Disconnected; nested exception is:
java.io.EOFException: Disconnected [Root exception is
java.io.EOFException: Disconnected]
at com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIContext.lookup(RMIContext.java:168)
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:347)
There are not problems if i decide to connect to the ejb application
directly using the rmi port, when i try to use the opmn there is the
error reported above.
Moreover connecting using opmn to another ejb application, deployed in
to another instance of the same application server, all works fine.
It seem to be the particular instance S3 has some problems, but i don't
know what.
Thanks for your help

Trying to share internet connection using Airport Express

I have an internet connection via a Verizon Wireless broadband card in the Express Card slot in my MacBookPro. I share this connection to my iMac via Airport and I have an Airport Express card connected to a printer & stereo. However, when I establish the Airport internet connection (internet sharing in System prefrences) it establishes a wireless network in the MacBook (I think) as evedinced by the Airport signal (fan) logo changing to a vertical arrow. This precludes connecting to the Airport Express (the Airport Express network is not shown in the Airport pull down menu, only the MacBook network). My question is: can I somehow share the internet connection using the Airport Express network???

ejagnut, Welcome to the discussion area!
Configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network created by your MacBook Pro. The directions can be found in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

Problems connecting using Windows

I use a Mac and can easily connect to the Airport but my friend can't connect using her PC. Her computer registers the system but it doesn't allow her access. It keeps asking her for a network key. What is that?
Thanks.

You must be using an additional wireless utility to configure your wireless network.
Once you are connected to your wireless network using WZC you stay connected to it as long as you restart your laptop...Once the laptop is restarted both the utilities conflict disconnecting you from your wireless network...
Locate the Utility under your Programs menu -
Either permanantly use the utility to connect to your wireless network or disable the Utility to let Windows connect to your wireless network.

Problem connecting using VB Oracle Data Control oradc.ocx but otherwise ok.

I am trying to run one of the sample vb apps DataCtrl that uses the Oracle Data Control (oradc.ocx) to simplify connecting to a database and getting the data into a databound control. I have tried every combination of name/id/pw and get the same error - ORA-12154:TNS:could not resolve service name.
I have 2 of the sample databases created - "employees" and "demo". Using XE, i can open and view both db's with no problem. Using the ODBC configuration dialog I can configure and test the connection to both and tests ok. I have used programs to convert Oracle to Excel and Excel to Oracle and both find the db with no problem either.
If I tnsping to XE, employees or demo, the response is negative. The file tnsnames.ora exists in the /admin dir and lists only XE. The file sqlnet.ora has nothing (except comments) in it.
I have read every bit of documentation on the internet and no help. I just opened "employees" and "demo" again with XE without a problem. However when I try to run the Oracle/Excel conversion programs now, they are now showing the 'name error also. I have tried both the sample VB app and the Oracle/Excel converter programs with XE/employees open and closed and it makes no difference.
Everything that I have read indicates that you should be able to use the actual db name, ie; "employees". I have run out of combinations of names/ids/pws and hope I can get some help here. Thanks in advance.

Wireless to ethernet connection using airport express

Here is what I have and what I wish to do. I have a Mac Mini intel duo with Airport extreme card Connected to road runner via a ethernet router. My wife has a window running XP with out airport extreme. Can I use airport express to share the internet with my wife's computer by using an ethernet cable from my wife's computer to the airport express, remotely to (another room). Utilizing my computer as a base station?

Fordmanduo, Welcome to the discussion area!
No that will not work.
The Ethernet port on the AirPort Express (AX) is active ONLY when the AX uses WDS to wirelessly connect to a network.
OS X's Internet Sharing (via Mac mini) is not compatible with WDS.

Problem connecting using OCI8

I am getting an error when attempting to connect to a 9i r2 database using OCI8. When I connect using the thin driver all works fine. Are different drivers or installation procedures needed to use OCI8? I am working with BLOB's and wanted to use OCI because I understand it is more efficient thatn the thin driver for this data type.
The two url's which are used are listed below.
dbUrl1 "jdbc:oracle:oci8:@svr:1521:orcl"
Fails with the following error: 500 Internal Server Error : java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: oracle.jdbc.oci8.OCIEnv.envCharSetId
dbUrl2 "jdbc:oracle:thin:@svr:1521:orcl"
Works fine.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Lars-Inge
I too am working through this same issue. I wasn't using the OracleDataSource object for connecting but rather the DriverManager's getConnection method as seen here:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl, dbUser, dbPass);
My dbUrl is: String dbUrl = "jdbc:oracle:oci9:@OraSid";
Using this approach, I get an "invalid URL" SQL Exception. So I tried the approach from your post using an ods object. Here too, I'm getting a SQL exception "java.sql.SQLException: Invalid Oracle URL specified: OracleDataSource.makeURL". Here is what my connection code looks like:
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setUser("user");
ods.setPassword("password");
ods.setDriverType("oci9");
ods.setDatabaseName("OraSid");
ods.setPortNumber(1521);
ods.getConnection();
Am I missing something that's causing the SQL Exception?
Thanks,

Having problems connecting an AirPort Express in client mode to a Linksys?

I have a Linksys WRT150N as my main access point. I recently dumbed down its security to WPA2 Personal so a Dell, and Xbox 360 could get on it wirelessly. Unfortunately, my AirPort Express refuses to connect now even after re-configuring it to use WPA. Its light just blinks Amber.
Does anyone else have an AirPort Express connected in client mode to a Linksys access point using WPA Personal security? I vaguely recall that I had this problem before, and solved it by using WPA2. Perhaps it's time to get an Apple TV for playing music on the home theater...
Thanks.

Hi, Bill! Actually, no--the AE is creating its own wireless network with the same SSID and password as the Time Capsule. I had big problems with bandwidth degredation when I tried to extend the network like that.
But I believe I tracked down the cause of the issue--the powerline adapter was losing its connection with the other powerline adapter for some reason. Still observing that one, but all the Apple stuff appears to be operating normally. Thanks for the replay anyway!

Itunes 10.4 and Lion 10.7 create remote speakers not to keep connection using Airport Express

MACBOOK with 10.5.8, then 10.6.8 and today 10.7...Lion
There is a major problem regarding the connection to remote speekers with Itunes 10.4 and Airport Express using LION OS X. This is a problem I never encountered before, nor with 10.5.8 or 10.6.8.
Please correct that problem.

Hi,
At you question : Lynksys 160-wr ore something....
This is something above my capabilities.
The way that tab is configured is AUTOMATIC.
Trying to do it manually require IP for rouer, and I dont't know how to get it, even if I perfectly know what an IP address is.
It is also required to enter IPV6 address, and there to I am lost.
Lastly there is the last tab, amaller bar that I don't know.
May be explain in what way, having this manually entered is different that automatic would make me understand correctly. Then, may be indicate how to get these info to fill in.
But, I can say that I am now using APPLE TV-2, and that the first Lion 10.7 patch seems to have solved this.

Nortel VPN error when connecting using airport extreme

Hi All,
I am trying to connect my work laptop xp server pack 2 using Nortel VPN Contivity Client via an Airport Extreme.
I have connected in the past but since the new Airport Extreme update I have been unable to connect.
I can surf the web on the laptop but am unable to connect securely to my work network.
Is there anyway I could go back to the reverse the Extreme update? Would this help?

To d/l prior versions of the software, you simply need to press ctrl (Windows) or Option (Mac) and then click on "check for updates" which is in the File pulldown menu.
This should give you the ability to choose the 7.2.1 version of the firmware. Once it is downloaded, simply go to "Base Station" - "Upload Firmware" and choose your desired version.
The 7.2.1 version allowed connection to the Nortel VPN, where 7.3.1 does not. 7.2.1 seems to have a problem with printing from an XP laptop wirelessly, though printing works from Apple laptops. That is the one remaining problem we are having. Bonjour was loaded on the XP computer, and it sees the printer and creates a definition for it just fine, but cannot print to it. A hardwired XP PC does not have any trouble printing via Bonjour-created definition, nor does the Apple computer have trouble wirelessl printing.

Those having problems connecting to AirPort Extreme/Express in Windows XP

Today, I just bought an AirPort Extreme and had no problems setting it up and connecting to it in Mac OS X. Well, I booted Windows via Boot Camp and wasn't able to connect to it at all. I had no idea why when my network was being broadcast and had a very strong signal. Well, I did some searching and found out the cause. Well, I had my network secured via WPA2. XP does not support WPA2. Microsoft released a Hotfix that addresses this problem.
This website explained the problem.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305275
This website is where you can download the hotfix.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021
After I downloaded that hotfix, I was able to connect to my AirPort Extreme in Windows.

It sounds like your room mate has set up WEP security on this base station. If you cannot convince her to use WPA (a more secure protocol that is also less problematic to use cross-platform) take a look at the advice and tips for Windows XP and Vista found at http://tech.ifelix.net/airport.html

Problems Connecting to Airport Directly With an Ethernet Cable

Hello,
I have a Time Warner cable modem connected to an airport, and everything is working fine for a wireless web connection. But in order to log on to VPN for work, I need to have a cable connection, not a wireless one.
I turned off the airport connection on my computer and first I tried using an ethernet cable to connect my laptop to the Airport. That didn't work. Then I tried connecting my laptop directly to the cable modem, and that didn't work either.
I used to have a DSL modem in my apartment, and if I turned my airport connection off and plugged into the DSL modem, I was still able to access the internet no problem.
Is there something different about plugging into the airport or the cable modem? Do I need change any settings on my computer? Do I need to reboot my computer, or the airport or the cable modem or all three?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alice
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Alice,
I too have a Time Warner cable Modem and use a VPN with a Ethernet cable connected from my laptop to my Airport extreme. I did not switch ISP's but did switch hardware from a 2Wire portal to the Airport extreme. Could only access the internet and not connect to my Company's network via a VPN. Took a few days but I finally figured out a VPN solution using an ethernet cable hookup to Airport extreme from my work laptop. You will need port setting(s) from your IT department. Below are a few tips.
1) Open Airport Utility and double click on your extreme network.
2) At the top move from Airport and click on Internet.
3) Once there, click on NAT (Network Address Translation)
4) Check mark "enable default host" but use your static IP adapter address from your work PC/Laptop and not the default (use IPCONFIG to obtain)
5) Check mark "enable NAT port mapping protocol" and at bottom click on configure port mapping at bottom of NAT
6) From there your in the advance mode of your Airport Utility, and you add a
service and port(s). I did not click on any service but only defined using my company name and added the port settings.
7 I set the public TCP and UDP ports to 80
8) The private IP address matched the IP address in the Internet NAT setting I mentioned in #4 above.
8) The private TCP and UDP ports are the ports to open for your VPN which I got from my IT department. This can be a 5 digit number where mine starts with a 4.
The above worked for my ethernet connect from my work laptop to the Airport Extreme. I now can connect to my company's network using VPN and continue to work from home time to time. 8-)
Good Luck. My next step is to see if my work laptop can use the same settings for my VPN when I go wirelessly with my work Laptop.
Good Luck....Reener

Can't connect using ethernet but can connect using Airport

The problem I am currently facing is when I try to plug an ethernet cable into my MacBook Pro I can't get on the internet. At home I use an AEBS and connect fien, but when I go over to a friends house and they don't have wireless I try to hook up using the ethernet cable directly from the modem to connect and I can't.
I open System Pref and it says on the left side under ethernet "Self Assigned IP" On the right hand side it says ethernet is connected and underneath that it says, "ethernet has self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect."
I though this was a problem at his house and when I went home I tried it and I get the same thing. I used to have a Powerbook using Tiger and it did the same thing. Once I turn my Aiprort back on and plug the ethernet cable back into my AEBS I get on line.
Am I doing something wrong? I figured if I just plug in an ethernet cable it should detect it and work.
Thanks

I am not sure if this is your problem, but I believe a lot of cable modems need to be power cycled if you switch the device that is connected to them. They only recognize the MAC address of the first device that connects to them after they have been power cycled.
Although this was a couple of years ago, I was trying to investigate something (I can't remember what now) and I unplugged my router from my cable modem and plugged one of my computers directly to it. I found I couldn't do anything on the Internet. Later, when I was looking at the Comcast forums, I found the information about needing to power cycle the modem to get it to accept the "new" device.

Problems connecting to Airport Disk

Have an airport Extreme with 1 Hard drive now installed. I have two Macbooks and a MacPro that can access the sharepoint fine but I have on Macbook Pro which will not connect, it seems that Finder just waits forever for a connection. I can connect to the network OK just not the disk
What have I screwed up on the mac? Is there a plist or something I need to delete or reset?
Thanks

Problem solved it was the AEBS. Powered it down for 30secs then restarted seemed to solve the problem. Obviously Resetting it from the Airport Utility does not fully "Reset" it.
