Really Weird "Host Name" for my Airport Express!?!

I was looking at my firewall log (I use DoorStop) and I noticed something really strange. I have two airport expresses linked to my airport extreme. As expected, the log shows when these two airport expresses use Bonjour.
The weird thing is that one of them show an IP address of 10.0.1.4 (which is normal), but then shows a "Host Name" of "cscslt72.cardiacstudycenter.com" This doesn't make any sense since I'm just on a home network. I looked this place up and it is located in my city, but I have no clue how their name/web address got associated with my airport express (which is set to "join wireless network").
Can anyone explain how this happened?
I did a reset of the airport express, figuring the host name would go back to normal, but it didn't! What's going on?

No, not unless you connect the two with an Ethernet cable and configure the Express as a bridge.
Consider replacing the Cisco router with the Express. The Express conveys advantages over the E1000.

Airport Utility 6.0.0 breaks support for my Airport Express

Computer updated to Airport Utility 6.0 but that breaks support for my Airport Express. When I try to access the Airport Express it tells me I have to download Airport Utility 5.6 - but I can't find that anywhere on the Apple sites to download!

My catch-all list of Airport 6.0 & Firmware 7.6.1 problems:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've compiled a catch-all list of problems and changes with Airport Utility version 6.0 and FW 7.6.1. Some of the items may be relevant to this thread.
THE PROBLEMS WITH AIRPORT UTILITY 6 AND FIRMWARE 7.6.1:
Introduction: If you find AirPort Utility v6.0 too limiting or strange, you can ALSO install AirPort Utility v5.6, released alongside v6.0, to maintain all your previous capabilities. It works fine with both Airport g and n devices.
PLEASE NOTE: According to Apple you must FIRST install Airport Utility v6.0 in order to access and install Firmware upgrade 7.6.1. Do that first. THEN install Airport Utility v5.6 and use it instead if you prefer. HOWEVER: Another user has informed me that they were able to use Airport Utility v5.6 to install Firmware v7.6.1 without any problems! This would mean anyone can avoid Airport Utility 6.0 entirely if they chose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) According to Apple's documentation, Airport Utility version 6.0 is ONLY for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. It is NOT for 10.6 Snow Leopard. If you accidentally installed v6, you'll have to dig around in Apple - Support - Downloads for the previous relevant version for your devices and OS version. Here is the relevant page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1483
2) The HELP for Airport Utility has been updated. When you first access it you may well be looking at the old Help. It is supposed to update itself spontaneously over the Internet. It took a couple minutes in my case. Be sure you are looking at the NEW Help before you start using it. One way to tell is that the list of help topics essentially doubles from what there used to be. Also, the very first topic in the NEW Help should read:
"Set up an AirPort device > Set up a new AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule"
3) The HELP has some WRONG information. Here we go:
3a) There is NO "Enable Guest Network" setting. You CANNOT create a guest network or name it or give it any settings. Why this is still listed in Help, I have no idea. Why the setting is gone: This is most likely because the technology behind guest networks, WPS, has been thoroughly CRACKED in the wild. Google "WPS cracked" for lots of documentation of the situation. It won't be resolved soon.
3b) I can't find any 'Setup Assistant". Everything is now manual. This is not to say that there isn't a setup assistant that appears when you FIRST set up your Airport device. I don't know.
4) After installing Airport Utility v6.0, there is no indication of the accompanying firmware update until you decide to run the new version. Even then, you have to click on the big icon of your Airport device and notice an 'Update' button about halfway down the popup window. You then have to assume that this button is telling you to update your firmware.
5) After you update your Airport device's firmware, you may well discover an ERROR subwindow popping up inside Airport Utility that says:
"An error occurred while updating the firmware. -6721"
Don't panic! All you need to do is go into your Wi-Fi settings, either in your menubar or the Network preferences, and turn OFF Wi-Fi, then turn ON Wi-Fi again. This is part of a long standing bug in Lion's Wi-Fi with which I bet you are already familiar, certainly up through Lion version 10.7.2.
6) Miscellaneous changes in Airport Utility 6:
6a) The keyboard command to manually change your Airport devices settings is GONE. You have to click the little 'Edit' button after clicking on the big icon for your device.
6b) There is no longer any summary window for your Airport device. You have to instead click on the big "Internet" icon for related data, then click on the big icon for your Airport device for local settings data.
6c) There is no longer any HELP advising users to EXPORT their settings. (The Help only talks about Import of settings). BE SURE TO EXPORT YOUR NEW SETTINGS! I did this immediately after both updates.
6d) MAC address filtering for Airport devices is GONE.
6e) All references to IPV6 anywhere are GONE. I have to assume the IPV6 settings are now entirely working and entirely automatic. Let's hope so.
6f) Signal and Noise data and graphs are GONE. Use Apple's Wi-Fi Diagnostics app instead. Apple have hidden it here in Lion:
/System/Library/CoreServices/W-Fi Diagnostics
6g) In order to access the menu items in Airport Utility, you have to first click on the big icon for your Airport device.
--> No doubt there are other changes, oddities or bugs related to these changes. But this is what I came up with during a cursory strafing of the software.

HT1515 which version of Airport Utility is needed for my Airport Express A1084????

How can I find out which version of Airport Utility is needed for my Airport Express A1084????

I have this issue, too. The problem with the advice from Saito_Chickara is that Mavericks (I'm on 10.9.2) does not allow you to run AirPort Utility 5.x. So for those of us on Mavericks, what can we do? I have yet to find a solution. This is really frustrating.

Custom host-name for web application SharePoint 2010

I am facing a weird behavior. Can anyone help me regarding this?
Steps performed:
1. Created a web application using custom host name.
2. Created a site collection using "Blank" site template. Nothing issues.
3. Created another site collection using "Publishing" site template. Authentication prompt came multiple times. IIS logs/Fiddler/HTTP Watch are full with 401 entries.
4. Added the custom host-name with web server IP in local desktop hosts file(which is in intranet domain). Prompt issue fixed.
5. Authentication mode set as NTLM.

Hi DDasgupta,
After you created a web application with a custom host name, if you got a prompt for the user and you may face the following issues:
There is continuous prompt for the credentials
HTTP 401.1 error
This shows that there is a problem with the Loopback configuration. This situation should occur only when we access the application from the server machine.
For fixing the problem, we have to disable the Loopback value inside the registry.Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and locate the following key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa, and create a new Key Value of type DWORD inside
it and set the value to 1.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.
Thanks,

I have a cable modem for my Time Capsule. Do I need a separate cable modem for my airport express?

I have a cable modem for my Time Capsule. Do I need a separate cable modem for my Airport Express? (I'm using it to "extend" my network and also for Air Play.)

No, you connect to your Time Capsule wirelessly to "Extend" the network..

HI Guys.

I believe that starting with 9.2, you have to specify different passwords when you install (can't be the default).

Where can I purchase a replacement CD for the Airport Express Base station A1264?

Where can I purchase a replacement CD for the Airport Express Base station A1264?
I'd like to sell my Airport Base Station, but I believe I need a CD with the software on it for the new owner. Anyone know where I can find one?
Thanks!
Meredith

I doubt it is available.. and since a new Mac doesn't even have an optical drive.. there is no need whatsoever today for the cd.. it is all available in the OS or download. In fact the stuff on the cd will now be totally out of date.

Local node not included in the list of host names for grid installation

I'm attempting to install clusterware on Solaris 11 on 2 nodes. I've tried tweaking the /etc/hosts file in a few different ways by including the fully-qualified name and without it for the localhost, but it still gives me this error every time. The runcluvfy.sh script doesn't run on Solaris 11. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
I've tried this using the silent install and with OUI, but got the same error both ways. This is the format of the node names:
oracle.install.crs.config.clusterNodes=myLocalNode:myLocalNode-vip1,myOtherNode:myOtherNode-vip2
[FATAL] [INS-40907] Local node not included in the list of host names for grid installation.
CAUSE: The local node (the node where you are running the installer) was missing from the list of host names you provided.
ACTION: Include the local node in the list of host names for grid installation.

Hi,
what Oracle Version are you trying to install?
Best to directly start with 11.2.0.3 and look in MOS for certification, hints requirements.

Getting ipaddress or host name for virtual server

I want to get the ipaddress or host name for virtual server in a cluster environment. If i do
java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()
it returns the ipaddress of the physical node currently running virtual server.
Is there any way to get the ipaddress or host name for virtual server ?

You can get the hostname by clicking on the account properties in outlook, but the port you connect to must be opened by your system admin.

Host name for OMS

I have Oracle 9i Database installed
When I log into the oracle management server in OEM,
I don't know the <host name> for the Management server
where do I get this info?
I am getting the default of my ISP address!

Try going to an OS command prompt and use the oemctl command to find the status. Go to the link I posted earlier and use your browser's find function to search for oemctl. Since it is on your local machine, use the local command, you shouldn't need a hostname (though multiple oracle homes can happen and be very confusing).
Can't say as I remember much else on your old version, I second the suggestion to use more recent things.

Can I choose not to broadcast the name of my AirPort Express?

I would like to know if I can keep the name of my AirPort Express from being broadcast to other computers. On my old Netgear router I could choose to not broadcast the name but, I don't seem to see the option in the AirPort Base Station Utility.
PowerBook G4 12 SuperDrive Mac OS X (10.3.9)

A closed network is still broadcasting and still broadcasts the network name.
A casual user won't be able to see the network from their computer.
However anyone with easily obtained software will be able to see it just fine from their computer.
Unfortunately "Closed" networks, MAC access control lists, and reduction in transmission power are all more "feel good" security rather than real security. All these various approaches are dated and mistakenly lead to overconfidence.
WPA is your friend if you value wireless security.

I have to pay per month for using airport express?

I have to pay per month for using airport express?

You would need to investigate which Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are available in your area. You can then contact them about pricing for their services. Typically, you pay more for faster Internet upload/download speeds.
Most ISPs will provide you with a modem and get the service established at your home. From there, you would connect the AirPort Express to this modem to provide a wireless network.

Case for 2012 airport express

I plan to use my airport express as a travel router. Does anyone know if any manufacturers make a case/bag to carry it in ?

There's a bag designed for the Apple TV and related accessories that would work since it's nearly identical in size as the Airport Express. It's the SF Bags "Apple TV Case"
http://www.sfbags.com/products/apple-tv-case/apple-tv-case.php
Otherwise, 3rd party bags for external hard drives and/or portable optical drives are options to investigate. Of course there may be a camera bag that is well suited, but the SF Bags case is the closest I've found to a dedicated bag intended for the Airport Express/Apple TV.

Preventing outside access for my Airport Express A1264 wireless hub

I am new to Mac and to the Airport Express model A1264 wireless hub?. How do I set it up so that I am protected from other people accessing my computer?
thanks!
David

Hello David Carey1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The #1 way to prevent "uninvited" guests from accessing your wireless network is to employ wireless encryption. I suggest using the strongest available for your AirPort Express Base Station (AX), which is "WPA2 Personal." Also use a strong password - a password that contains both characters, numbers & symbols and cannot easily be found in a dictionary.
