Problems setting up WDS with AE

I recently had some problems with my home network and performed a hard reset on both of my AE base stations in order to reconfigure the network. I am trying to set up a WDS network with the two AE's (one being connected to the internet and the other serving as a remote to extend the range and use AirTunes function). When using Airport Utility and going through the setup process, I set up the primary AE with the connection to the internet. I am then using Airport Utility to try and configure the second AE to join the main network, but AU is not allowing the remote AE to connect/join the primary network. I keep getting an error message saying that the Apple wireless device could not join the WDS network and that I should close Airport Utility and try again. I have tried this a number of times, as well as performing more hard resets of both AE's and nothing seems to be working - any suggestions??
This is the first time I have ever had this problem using AU. In past versions of the program this has always worked setting up the network automatically, but does not seem to be working this time. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
JB

Problem setting up WDS with MSI RG54GS2 & Motorola WR850g

Problem setting up WDS with WR850g & MSI RG54GS2
Hi,
I'm trying to bridge 2 routers: Motorola WR850g & MSI RG54GS2 .
I set the MSI as the main router (it works better for me as a router than the Moto), and the Moto is the repeater. I have set it up exactly as the guide on Broadbandreports.com for the Motorola , and on Tom's Networking http://www.tomsnetworking.com/2004/04/14/how_to_wds_bridge/
The Moto sees the MAC of the MSI (Status is UP), the MSI doesn't have a page that shows WDS MACs . I know the routers are connected because when I connect a laptop to the Moto wireless network, it gets an IP (and the DHCP on the Moto is disabled) and the default gateway of the connection is the IP of the main (MSI) router.
The problem is I can't surf anywhere. I can't even ping the MSI router - which should be possible if the WDS works properly.The Moto Wireless Bridge Operation is set properly to Access Point/Wireless Bridge .
Can anyone solve this?
Thanks.

David, welcome to the discussions.
Are you refering to Airport Extreme Setup as the Extreme base.
Or are you using a 3rd party Router as your primary Base, or the Express as the primary base.
Read the supplied link, Not all 3rd party routers are WDS compatible.

Who is you Internet Service Provider?
What brand and Model Modem did they furnish?
Are you using Dial-Up...DSL...or Cable?

Problems setting up WDS with old AX and new AEBS

Hi all,
after buying a new AEBS last week, I want to put my old AX back into service. Here's what I have planned:
The cable modem sits in the living room near my stereo. The AX should connect to the cable modem and the stereo and be the main station in a WDS network with the AEBS. The AEBS will be in my study as a remote station to the AX.
Sounds trivial, but apparently it isn't I have spent the evening setting up the two base stations again and again. For some reason, the Airport Utility cannot see both stations at once as soon as they are configured. The AEBS won't find the AX even though the MAC address is correct.
I tried with and without WPA/WPA2, but I cannot figure out what's wrong
Could someone please give me a step by step guide of what to do? I am quite desperate by now...
Cheers from Switzerland
Daniel

Well, what can I say... Of course, I could not give up
Finally I got it to work. For future reference, here's how:
I first set up the AEBS to create a network, then used the Wizard of the Airport Utilitiy to add the AX as a WDS-device (it sets up the whole WDS automatically). Then I flipped the settings - set the AX to be main and the AEBS to be the remote.
I also had to adapt the Internet-Settings. Both base stations were set to bridge-mode, which doesn't work in my case because I only get two IPs from my ISP. So, I set the AX (the main) to share an internet connection and get its IP by DHCP. The AEBS on the other hand needed to get an IP manually (outside of the address space of the DHCP server created by the AX, but within its subnet).
After that it all worked - even AirTunes The AEBS now sits on my desk and the AX provides internet from the living room.
Cheers,
Daniel

Advised to get an "extender" to be able to stream netflix, etc. through new digital tv. Apple store told me to buy Airport Express and set up WDS. Upon reading about WDS it stated cannot set up WDS with Airport Express 802.11n,

I was advised I needed an "extender" to stream Netflix, etc. through my newly purchased digital TV. Apple store advised me to buy Airport Express and choose WDS setting. When reading instructions on how to set up WDS it states cannot set up WDS with an 802.11n airport express, which is what they told me to purchase. How do I set up this Airport Express to extend my internet signal from my modem & airport to be able to stream internet capability to my TV?

Hi,
I am trying to set up WNA with an OAS 10.1.2.0.2 in a RHEL 4 platform. I have been able to configure Synchronization and Windows External Authentication following these steps:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14085/odip_actdir003.htm#i1010999
I have also tried to configure WNA without success with those steps.
The scenario is here:
* OAS 10.1.2.0.2 infra in a RHEL 4
* Windows 2008 SP1 (only i use AD from it)
* Windows XP (client) that should be able to log in without problems when WNA is configured
How can make it work? I haven´t find any useful documentation

Can I set up WDS with a 3rd party wireless router?

I have an Actiontec 802.11g wireless router that is working ok but the range is limited. I also have an airport express that I'm currently not using. Can I use the two together to set up a WDS to extend the range of the network? The discussions and Apple help seem to assume that the main base station is an Apple Extreme.
Any guidance and specific setup instructions would be appreciated.

Hi again kenkarno,
So the whole idea of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is to enable you to use multiple devices (i.e. Wireless Routers) on the same network.
For example if you set up a wireless network called "kenkarno" but your original router wasn't powerful to cover the desired area, you could add further routers to the same "kenkarno" network as opposed to creating a multitude of networks for each router. The obvious advantage is that if you're out of range of one router you're in range of another without having to switch networks.
At the moment WDS is very proprietary (hence my first post) so it is common when trying to set up a WDS composed of different brand routers, you may not get them to talk to one another due to incompatibilities in their software.
In your case, it could be that your Actiontec router will not be able to form part of a WDS with your AE so your suggestion of using ethernet between the Actiontec and the AE could be the way to go here (although you'd have two separate networks). If you went for a second AE you could create a WDS between this and your existing one which may make life a little easier.
Hope it works out

Problem setting up Wireless with WAP54G

I am having trouble setting up my wireless network with my WAP54G access point. I have used this same router successfully before but now on my new network it gives me trouble.
I did a reset on my Access Point, Then the default setting is with a static IP address. I can just connect with the access point (wireless) with no problem. But when connected to the modem it doesn't give me internet...
Reading the manual of the modem it tells me that any router connected to the modem should be set to DHCP. So when I put the settings on my access point to DHCP (and change them on the network settings of my laptop) I cannot connect with the Accesspoint anymore..
Can anyone help me? am I just doing something stupid here?

Hi sdedmer. What is the make and model of your modem? Is it a modem-router-in-one or a gateway? If so, you may need to enable the DHCP of the device so it can provide IP addresses for multiple devices to connect wirelessly. The WAG54G is an access point. It can only provide wireless and Internet access to one device at a time. For this, you may need to purchase a wireless router if you want to connect multiple devices (wired or wireless) and extend the wireless range using the WAG54G.

Problems setting up Tomcat with RoboHelp Server V8

Hi,
My Systems Administrator is trying to set up RoboHelp Server version 8 for me. he has been following the Adobe Installation guide and has got as far as page 10 where it tells him to install and configure IIS and TomCat, at this point he says he does not understand what he should be doing. He has not installed TomCat before and it is telling him to configure the tomcat directory and although he has tried using what it says it comes up with an error the directory does not exist.
He is using:
Windows 2008 Server Standard
IIS 7.0
TomCat 6.0.20
SQL Server 2008 express SP1 - this is the latest version the adobe instructions says RooHelp Server works with SQL Server 2008 but does not mention express not sure if that could be a problem?
MS Report Viewer 2008 SP1
Java V6 Update 12
He says the installation guide talks about a directory with Win32 in it which does not appear on his machine its a 64 bit machine.
Please can someone give me some instructions on how to set up the TomCat part - I have looked but the troubleshooting that adobe has does not seem to be for Windows 2008 only Vista and XP and even then it says nothing about setting up TomCat
Thanks in advance

I am having problems setting up iCloud with Outlook 2007.

I was able to setup the email with Outlook, but every time I try to setup the contacts. I get the following error:
your setup could not be started because of unexpected error
This error does not occur immediately, but occurs after several steps of downloading and uploading.
If I hit the report button, it hangs. So I hit cancel after that in my retries. I am on Windows 2007 (32-bit).

You need to leave more information like what is the ios5 device. I following instructions accidently set up two iclouds and then I couldn't get the contacts in. My mobileme email isn't going to work anymore because I set up an icloud using my store apple ID. Apparently the term apple ID can refer to any apple product ID that you make up not the one you use in the store. So you need to leave more infor on what is your problem to figure out how to help.

Problems setting Inhibit Outputs with UMI

I am using a 3rd party stepper drive with a PCI7334 and 7764 UMI. The Step, Dir and Enable inputs on the drive are opto isolated. I have tied the -ve terminal of each to Ground and the +ve terminal to +5V though a 390ohm resistor and to the corresponding connection on the UMI.
I setup the axes inhibit output in software to be Inverting, the switch on the UMI is set to Active Low inhibit outputs and the Drives are Active closed (need to have a potential difference across them to be enabled).
My third axis must be enabled the opposite way around. But when i set it up in software to be Non-inverting, it doesn't change on the UMI. why would this be so?
Can you have one axis with its inhibit output active low, and another axis with it
s inhibit output active high?
Also, Do i need to pull the inhibit outputs high?
Your help will be much appreciated.

To whom it may concern:
Yes, you can have one axis with its inhibit output active low and another axis set to active high. You need to go into MAX under the Device Settings and expand the tree entitled Axis Settings. With the corresponding axis selected in the tree, you can set the inhibit output to active high or low. If you don't expand the tree under Axis Settings then whatever you set the inhibit output polarity to will apply to all axes on the board. That might be part of your problem.
That inhibit output shouldn't need to be pulled high. That would be handled internally to the board.
Hopefully that is help to you. Best of luck with things.

Problem setting up connection with 2wire USB adapter (BT Home Network 1200)

I keep on running into a brick wall setting up my internet connection on my newly purchased MacBook (I have never used a mac before, having used a PC for years). I am trying to set up my macbook as an additional computer on my BT Home Network 1200, and I have installed the drivers given on the 2wire CD, but even when I plug in the USB adapter, the Macbook does not seem to recognise it. The adapter looks something like this:
Anyway, the instructions given in the BT Home Network PDF manual seem to suggest that it is relatively straightforward, and that it is simply a matter of clicking the apple menu, selecting "control panels", selecting "TCP/IP", and then in the "connect via" box, clicking on the pulldown menu and selecting 2Wire PC Port. However, I am using 10.4.9 and it seems to me that this guide must have been written for an outdated version of Mac OS X because none of these instructions seem to make sense or work in the context of my macbook. At the moment, it seems like I won't be able to get my macbook online. Could someone please help explain to me how to get around this?

Any reference to 'Control Panels' will, indeed, be for Mac OS 9.x, the last version of which (9.2) was released in 2001.
My advice would be to return it to BT and ask them for an ethernet-based modem, not a USB one.
USB DSL modems have varying levels of support in Mac OS X ranging from poor to none. The fact that 2Wire doesn't include Mac OS X instructions implies that this model is at the lower end of that scale.
By comparison, an ethernet-based modem will connect to your Mac via ethernet, have the option of sharing the connection with multiple machines, typically be faster, and has an almost 100% compatibility rate.

Problem setting file extension with jspc

I'm using xhtml which it appears the Jasper compiler (Tomcat 5.5) can't handle. It seems to only recognize files with the jsp and jspx extensions. Is there a way (either on the command line or via the Ant task) to set this? What is the proper way of pre-compiling these pages?
Thanks in advance.
Scott Czadzeck

Hi,
You can restrict them to save in any other format by making the check.
Simply add listner for the Event.OPEN on the fileReference and inside this check for your allowed extension,if the extension is not what you want then
simply right a line there like:-
fileReference.cancel();
And addtionally you can give any alert that your file should be of that particular extension.

Problems setting email headers with javax.mail.*

I'm trying desperatly to send HTML emails with javax.mail but I simply can't. No matter what I do, no matter how and where I set the headers it always come out as text.
Here's a sample code:
try {
 Properties props = System.getProperties();
 props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.ability.com.br");
 Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
 Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
 msg.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");
 msg.setRecipient( MimeMessage.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("[email protected]") );
 msg.setFrom( new InternetAddress("[email protected]") );
 msg.setSubject("teste");
 msg.setText("testeeeeeeeeeeeee");
 Transport.send( msg );
 } catch( Throwable t ) {
 System.err.println(t);
 }and here's the resulting email:

Thanks DrClap, but that's not exactly the solution I'm looking for, cuz I would have to hard-code that header.
I have an Email class that I use as a wrapper for the javax.mail API, and I wanna be able to have a setHeader() method that works to enable the users to set the content-type of the text (or HTML) portion of the email, even when there are attachments. How can I achieve this?

Problem setting up wrt54g with windows 7

Upgraded Vista to Window 7 and I cant connect to internet through the wrt54g. I have cable internet service. I think this is the problem: I access the router settings, under the STATUS tab the IP is 0.0.0.0 The bottom of the page does NOT have an IP RELEASE button as the manual says it should. It says H### something RELEASE (I forgot to write down exactly what it says) In summary I CAN access the router wireless but it wont let me access the internet. Any Help?

You are able to connect to the wireless network.
The Internet IP address on the status page is 0.0.0.0. That means the router is not getting IP address from the modem.
Connect the computer directly to the modem with the Ethernet cable. Make sure that you can access the Internet through the modem.
If you are able to access the Internet through the modem then Internet is working fine on the modem.
Connect the modem to the Internet port and computer to Ethernet port 1 on the router.
Open the setup page of the router. Click on MAC address Clone sub tab. Enable it and click on Clone my PC's MAC. Save the settings.
Unplug the power to the router and modem. First plug in the power to the modem. Wait for 1 minute and then plug in the power to the router. Wait for a minute and then try to access the Internet on your computer.
Once you are able to access the Internet with the wired connection to the router, try to connect to the wireless network. See if that works.

Problems setting up Mail with iCloud

Hi,
   I am running os version 10.9.5. I have a mac.com apple id. I set up iCloud a long time ago with this id and was prompted to create an iCloud.com address which I was able to do successfully. I never used it or logged into iCloud since. Everything was syncing fine with my devices but at some point Mail stopped working (or may never have worked). I did not notice since I was not using it.
    I decided to try and fix it but am not having any luck. I searched and followed support documents and still nothing. I have sent test emails to both the mac.com and iCloud addresses and delivery fails with unknown or illegal alias for both.
     I have signed out of iCloud on all my devices and deleted the iCloud account from Mail. When I try to re-create the email account I can successfully log into iCloud with the mac.com id and Contacts, etc set up fine. When I check the Mail option, I get prompted to create a new iCloud email address. If I use my current one, it says it already exists. When I try to create a new one and click create, it acts like it is checking, returns with no error but doesn't do anything else. It just sits at the prompt waiting to check the new address again.
     I have tried everything I can think of short of contacting apple directly. Any help with this very frustrating issue would be appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: funny thing is, replies are going to be sent to the address that doesn't work.

iCloud email is IMAP, which means that your Mail application reads the messages from the server. Therefore if you delete a message from your Mac, it will also appear deleted online at icloud.com and on your iPhone.
Your signature says you have 10.5.2 - is this correct? (If not please update your signature to prevent confusion). If it is, you can access email on an existing iCloud account (you would have to set the account up on your iPhone) though no other iCloud facilities will work. The setup method is described, with illustrations, here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
