Problems Setting up my wireless network with an Xb...

Hi, I have had some problems setting up my wireless networking.
I have everything switched on and am able to go online with the laptop and the Xbox with no problems but when I try to share media with the xbox I have problems.
I have opened the ports specified in the setup from xbox on windows firewall and have no problem connection Via Ethernet cable but when using wireless the xbox cannot detect the laptop.
I have checked the network map and both xbox and laptop are connected and have enabled sharing and am running sharing software.
Below is the network map.
I have also been having problems with BT software, the free virus protection will not install, The desktop help will not launch although it shows up on task manager and the installation disk does not launch correctly it doesn't get past the loading screen.
I have had a printer on the wireless network and had no problems printing.
If anyone knows how to resolve this please help.

I have this same Motorola modem and I just verified that my 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can get Internet access with this modem without any issues.
When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

  • Setting up a wireless network with windows XP PC

    I may be getting a mac computer later this year & would like to know how to set up a wireless network between the mac & a windows XP PC. The PC has a DSL modem attached to it with a yellow line going from modem to PC & another Grey line going from the modem to the back of a phone in our kitchen. Our house is fairly big, it is one story but the rooms are sprawled out with a lot of clutter. I would like to have reliable internet access on my mac, & if it is a macbook pro I would like to be able to get to the internet throughout the house. The most important thing is stable reliable internet access as I am taking online classes. I would probably take the macbook pro into a bedroom or other adjacent room. The bedroom is further away, through 2 or 3 walls. The Adjacent rooms is one wall way.
    I know this seems very basic, but I need a lot of help with this as I have never used a mac before (have been a windows user) & have never used more than just the one PC in the house, let alone a wireless network.
    my mother along with I are both taking online classes, so sometimes there is competition for the the 1 computer & with my graphic design degree a mac has been recommended to me. So we are finding it would be easier to have more than one computer in the house so we can access our classes anytime.
    So anyone, can this be done without breaking the bank?

    I'm guessing that Modem was provided by your Internet Service Provider ?
    They are the best people to talk to about upgrading that Modem to a Wireless one.
    Usually if you're running a modem and phone from the same DSL line there's a small splitter box that plugs into the phone socket and then one wire connects your modem and another your phone. Picture below - if you do have one of these then post back and we can give better advice on a wireless modem to replace your current one.

  • Mp 640 and big problems setting up a wireless network

    I have the new i3 imac running snow leopard 10.6.5, and the mp 640.
    I have spent the best part of two evenings trying to get the mp640 to set up wirelessly.
    I have looked at this forum (among others) and followed the suggestions, and installed upteen drivers from the canon website, deleted old ones and reinstalled new ones and nothing seems to work. I`ve tried connecting the printer to the LAN and then clicking on software update in snow leopard but nothing comes up.
    I have tried using the easy install function on the canon driver install. Have got to the point where the canon network assistant has started searching for wireless printers but it can not find it anywhere.
    Bizarely if I quit the search and open the printers and faxes via system preferences and click on add printers voila there is the "Canon Mp640 series ---------" which I had been looking for all along. Unfortunately on clicking add, snow leopard does something strange, a box flashes down from the top pane saying configuring but it never actually finishes the process and never actually adds the printer.
    Other problems I have been having are much the same as everyone else, after trying to add printers the MP640 bonjour scanner service is seen which doesn`t work either (which prompted me to try other things).
    Ive tried installing the CUPS driver as well which didnt work and didnt let me look at the printer through the internet browser.
    Ive followed the printer manual to a tee, time and time again but nothing seems to work. Im a 100% sure the printer is connected to the wireless LAN because I have printed out the network configuration page.
    Im pretty sure the problem is with snow leopard, so if any one has any suggestions could you please let me know.

    The MP640 features the ability to connect to your wireless router using the keypad on the printer instead of having to use the Mac or PC to run through the setup. Once the printer is connected to your wireless router then you install the printer driver and then add the queue. Reading your post it sounds like you are going to a lot of extra detail which is not needed.
    You mention having the network configuration page from the MP640 which shows what IP address it has and if it is currently active and connected to your wireless network (the SSID name will be shown in the configuration). If the printer does have the correct IP address for your network and is active then you can open Print & Fax and select to Add. The MP640 will appear quickly, shown as Bonjour Scanner, which you also mentioned. But if you wait longer the MP640 should appear again, this time showing 'canonijnetwork' in the Kind column. When this happens, select it and the Print Using menu should automatically change to 'Canon MP640 series'. You can then click Add to complete the installation.
    Does the printer component appear when you select to add? And if so, does the Print Using menu automatically select 'Canon MP640 series'?

  • Frustrated trying to set up a wireless network with Bellsouth Fastaccess's Westell Wirespeed modem.

    Today, about 6 hours ago in fact, I came home with a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. It took me a while to get a grasp on how to connect it. I had no network port on the back of my PC, as far as I knew, and I had been connecting my Westell Wirespeed modem to my PC via USB for years. In the end I ended up spending an hour digging up the old Ethernet cable that came with the modem, and finally managed to do everything the Router setup program asked of me.
    One hour after restarting multiple times, experimenting with different orders of plugging in things, and countless resettings of the Router AND the modem, it finally set up the network. It ran for an hour.
    One of my cats ran behind my computer, jarring one of the cords and causing the PC to turn off. It happens twice or thrice a year when they get rowdy. When I jiggle all the plugs back into place and turn on my computer, the connection was dead! Gone! And there was nothing in my Program Files that said "Start Linksys Network" or anything convenient like that. I suppose that would be too easy, right? And my internet didn't work either! So with no other choice, I opened up the installation program again - there was no trace of any sort of folder or application on my PC linked to the router. In fact, as far as I can see, I still have no way to get into ANY sort of router-related application aside from the install CD.
    So I stuck that back in there.
    I've spent the last three hours grueling over this thing. I connect it all before turning the PC on. Nothing. I disconnect everything and plug it all back in meticulously step by step according to the program. Nothing. The install program always gets through the PC checking, and lets me fill in the PPOE (or whatever) information. As it tries to update the router configuration, though, it tells me one of two things.
    1 ) If I have just done a reset of the router, it gets to 99% in the router configuration progress bar before telling me the 'router configuration failed'.
    2 ) If I exit the setup program and reopen it, I get a generic "So and so has caused an error in 4746545x48345675 (or some other random number)," and asks me to either Cancel or Debug.
    My hands are sore and I'm stressed to the limits. I bought a laptop a week ago for the sole purpose of alleviating the battles my kids have over the only source of internet in the house, but it's just been sitting there. I'm really at the end of my wits. Between the errors that don't tell you what went wrong and the perfectly-connected router that keeps pretending it's not connected, I'm just about ready to return the laptop.

    This happened to me when I was setting up the wireless router for a friend.  The issue is with the Westall modem.  You need to go in and setup the "bridge" option on the westell modem.  The link below gives directions or you can call bellsouth dsl support (this is how I learned about it).
    http://help.bellsouth.net/bellsouth/asp/contentview.asp?isbrowse=true&sprt_cid=3f993409%2Ddff7%2D422...
    Good luck
    Solution:
    Method 1 - Hard Reset
    Restore the modem to default settings by pressing the Reset button on the back of the modem and holding it for 3 seconds. (Bridged mode is the default setting for the Westell).
    After the modem regains sync, it is in Bridged mode. Do not attempt to surf into the modem as surfing into the modem will enable the Easy Login page and convert the modem from bridged mode to a PPP mode.
    Method 2 – Bridged Mode
    Access the Westell interface using http://192.168.1.254 or http://launchmodem.
    Click on the Broadband DSL Line button. 
    Click on the Protocols button 
    Select the radio button to the left of Option 2 (Bridge)
    Click the save button. Once the modem has restarted it is in bridge mode.

  • Can I set up a wireless network with only certain units

    Just want to set up some units not all

    Not exactly sure what you are asking. Do you mean can the AirPort Express provide wireless for some wireless network clients but not all of them? If so, then the answer is yes. You can use the Timed Access feature and only allow wireless clients with the proper MAC address to connect.

  • Establishing a wireless network with airport express

    Can someone please help me setting up a wireless network?
    I'm using netgear DG834GT and want to set up a wireless network with my airport express. Unfortunately i cannot set it up and need someone to help.
    Thank You

    If you want to configure an Airport Express to work with the existing wireless network created by your DG834GT wireless router, then follow the advice posted here by David Lovel (the advice is applicable to both Mac and PC users):
    David Lovell, "Airtunes for XP with a Wired/Wireless network" #1, 09:05pm Jan 8, 2005 CDT
    I hope you really did mean to say you were using an Airport Express. Don't confuse an Airport Express with an Airport Extreme card - the Airport Extreme card is the name of the wireless adapter built into your Powerbook.

  • I have set up my wireless network and now have moved. How can I set up a new network with a different ip address

    I have set up my wireless network on airport express and worked great. I have now moved and have a new internet provider and need to change my ip address. How do I do this

    Is your new ISP providing you with a static Public IP address? ... or are they providing you with a dynamic IP address via DHCP (this would be the most common method for consumer-grade Internet service.) Next, which version of the AirPort Utility are you using? Finally, which version of the AirPort Express do you have?

  • How can I set up a home wireless network with Comcast high speed internet?

    I just signed up for Comcast High Speed Internet. I was able to get my Power Mac onto the internet. However, I connected my Airport Extreme and am unable to get it to recognize that I have an internet connection. I want to set up a wireless network in my apartment. Comcast tech support said that I only have one IP address.
    Any suggestions as to how I can get my wireless network up and going? Thanks!

    Should I change set up so that cable goes from the cable modem directly to Airport Extreme and then use the ports on the Extreme to run Ethernet Cable to Power Mac and other devices?
    Yes
    As an aside, would this setup allow me to hook my iBook up to Airport via Ethernet cable and let it get into Internet that way?
    Yes

  • How can I set up a wireless network between two Mac Mini's (media centres)?

    I've just received my second mac mini (core duo, 1.83, 1 Gb ram)and want to set up a wireless network to link this with my original mac mini (PPC 1.42, 512MB) and my Belkin wireless router (g std).
    I'm using both as media centres in different rooms and want to keep all my media (films, photo's, music etc.) on one mini (connected to a 640GB external drive) and access it over the wireless network. Sort of a more felxible Apple TV setup??
    I've got the wireless network working no problems with both mini's connected to the internet over the network but I'm stuck at how I get the two mini's to see each other. I've tried "the Missing Manual" and these forums but no success so far.
    I know it can be done but would really appreciate any suggestions/directions on what to do?

  • Network diagnostics asks for password for wireless network with no security

    hi
    I am trying to connect my Mac Pro to a wireless network which has no security settings. Other Macs in the house connect to the network with no problem, but the Mac Pro doesn't. I am setting up a new network as I have moved house. In the previous house the wireless worked fine on the Mac Pro.
    When I click on the Airport Icon in the menu bar, the search wheel shows and it finds the network, but when I click on the name of the network typically it doesn't connect. Occasionally it does connect, and I briefly have internet access, but then the number of bars on the Airport Icon gradually reduce and then I can't connect again.
    When I run Network Diagnostics from Safari, it finds the network also, but then typically asks for a WEP password for the Wireless Network when I haven't added any security to the network (occasionally it doesn't ask for a password and I can connect briefly)
    I have tried resetting my Time Capsule and creating a new wireless network with a different name, but still experience the same issues.
    I wonder if someone has any ideas as to what might be going on, and how I might be able to troubleshoot this.
    Thanks
    Nick

    It is one of mine. Yes. It connects to it no problem, just doesn't connect to the actual internet. Network diagnostics has all green lights until the ISP and/or Internet point. If I walk through diagnostics, it will get to the point where it says that the network requires a WEP password. I don't know why it does that because my network is not password-protected (husband claims it doesn't work well with his VPN system to get into work network). If I leave it blank, the connection will work. Eventually, after the computer is put to sleep, I will have the same problem upon waking up. I just tried renaming the network and removing all preferred networks and rebooting. Let's see how that works.

  • Creating a seamless wireless network with 2 AExpress units

    I have 2 Airport Express units in different parts of my house. I have struggled for YEARS trying to get them to create one seamless wireless network with the same name that I could float between. I have never been able to get that to work. anyone?
    I know that some of the problems MAY have to do with the non-apple router settings, but I just have never gotten a clear response form anyone about weather it is doable, and/or worth doing. I would settle for 2 seperate wireless networks that didn't compete with each other and/or constantly need re-booting to stay active. I am generally the most tech savvy person I know and am consulted on IT by friends and colleageus regularly, but I just cannot figure this one out..
    I am totally capable of setting this up, both in the router and the AE units, if someone can just tell me that;
    1) yes it is possible and it will work, and
    2) just set it up like this...

    Thanks for the clarification.  Check your AirPort Express devices one at a time, but other than different device names to avoid confusion.....AirPort Express 1, AirPort Express 2....for example, the settings should look this:
    Open AirPort Utility , select one AirPort Express, click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below th row of icons
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Your choice
    No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible) a good choice, but you can choose other combinations by holding down the option key on your Mac while you click on the selection box
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = WPA2 Personal an excellent choice if all of your devices are compatible with this setting
    Wireless Password = Your wireless password
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save settings
    Configure AirPort Express 2 exactly the same way and Update to save settings
    Then, power down the entire network.....all devices....order is not important
    Wait a moment, then start the modem/router first and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
    Start each AirPort Express the same way
    Start each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
    Check for proper network operation
    IF....you did not have your AirPort Express devices in Bridge Mode before.....that is the reason why you are having issues now and also is the reason why the "roaming" network was not working.....assuming that there was a reasonable overlap in wireless coverage between the 2 Express devices, of course.
    If you want to try the "roaming" setup again, assign the exact same wireless network name, security and password to both Express devices and confirm again that both are setup in Bridge Mode as the very last step before  you click the Update button in AirPort Utility.
    Power down the entire network and start up in sequence as well as in the example above.

  • I am unable to join my existing wireless network with new AirPort Express

    I am unable to join my existing wireless network with new AirPort Express.
    I am using a DLink DI-524 Router, Windows 7 (64), and the AirPort Express.
    AirPort Utility will not recognize the AEX wirelessly, it will only recognize it when it is connected by Ethernet. I can then configure the AEX and verify that the settings stick once disconnected and then reconnected. However, even after that, it will not recognize the AEX once disconnected from the Ethernet cable.
    I followed the suggestions of several other threads on these forums. But I am unable to get the AEX to work.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    It's almost always a security setting that causes problems when the Airport Express (AX) tries to join a third party wireless network. The AX usually does not "join" correctly and that's why you can't see it on your wireless network using AirPort Utility.
    Using an ethernet cable is still the more reliable way to configure and adjust the AX, but if you are want to try to configure it using wireless, you must return the AX back to factory defaults as follows:
    Power down the AX
    Hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the AX back in to power
    Release the reset button after 10 seconds
    When it is set to factory defaults, the AX broadcasts a wireless signal with a network name like "apple network xxxxxx" where the "x's" are either letters or numbers. You must look for this network by clicking on the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of the screen. If you don't see this network, then click Join Other Network to search that way. Unless you connect to this network, you will not be able to configure the AX using wireless.
    Do you know the exact security type that your D-Link router is using? That is the key element in the process.
    Open AirPort utility, click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab to establish a name for the AX, device password and adjust time zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode....Join a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name...must exactly match your D-Link wireless network name
    Enable ethernet clients if you want the port to be active (your D-Link must be compatible with ProxySTA for this to work)
    Wireless Security...exact setting of the D-Link network. WEP security causes a lot of issues. Try to use WPA/WPA2 Personal, which is far more secure.
    Wireless Password...must match the D-Link network
    Click the Music icon to enable AirTunes
    Click Update to save settings
    Any luck?

  • Can I extend my wireless network with my old Airport?

    Can I extend my wireless network with my old Airport? I have the airport extreme 802.11n & my old Airport (translucent white) base station. Can I mix the two to expand my range?

    No problem; ask as many questions as you need to.
    How do I reconfigure the Snow as a bridge to allow the AEBSn to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for the entire network?
    I don't have a Snow to verify this, but it should be similar to the later base stations when using the AirPort Admin Utility.
    To set up the Snow base station as a bridge, either connect to the Snow's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the Snow, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), make these settings:
    Network tab
    o Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
    o Apply the new setting.

  • Extending wireless network with an aiport express

    I have a netgear wireless router set up in my house on the second floor, but my room being located on the first floor i get a poor signal so i bought an airport express to extend my network. i tried going through the aiport exress setup assistant but that wouldnt work, so i ended up hooking it to my netgear router on the second floor to set it up in airport admin utility and then brought it back down to the first floor. my itunes worked with the speakers for about.. ten seconds then stopped. and my signal is just as weak as before.. any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, it is simply not possible to use an Airport Express to wirelessly "extend" the wireless range of any model of Netgear wireless router. Netgear's wireless routers do not support Apple's implementation of a wireless distribution system (WDS), which is a necessary requirement for setting up an extended wireless network with the Airport Express. And no - it doesn't work the other way around either (Airport Express as base station, Netgear wireless router to "extend").
    It sounds like you did successfully configure your Airport Express to "join" your existing wireless network - which will allow you to print and stream iTunes to the Airport Express. The problems you are having with Airtunes "hanging" on your Mac are almost certainly due to the poor wireless signal quality problem that you are already aware of.
