Setting up IIS 6.0 on Windows XP using Airport Express

Hi!
I want my computer to act as webserver, and I've set up IIS 6.0 and everything, only problem is, when trying to connect to my IP from outside, I get an error telling me the page could not be found..
I've tried to use "Port Mapping" in the Airport Express settings to my internal IP on port 80, but without luck.
Why doesn't it work? And why is Apple's help and support so non-existing on this area? I'm really disappointed, because this is like, you know, stopping and asking for directions - which I normally never would do.
Please help me, thanks!

Since you have a sense of humor, although I completely understand what you're saying, there's nothing I/you/we can do about it at this point in time as far as I'm aware.
The good news is Apple really does read their Feedback:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
My 2 cents is that they were focusing on Outlook because of Enterprise use, hopefully just for now, and hopefully OE will be supported. It's tough to build fully supported applications for many platforms, especially when one of them is a degenerating operating system that still uses dll's... I'll give you one guess which of the two that could be.
Good luck with your ventures.

Wireless printing to an HP PSC 1310 Series from Windows 8 using Airport Express

Can someone point me to instructions for setting up wireless printing (to an HP PSC 1315) from Windows 8 using an Airport Express? I have a Dell XPS 14z laptop running Windows 8 on which I've installed Bonjour Print Services and an Airport Express (AE) supporting 802.11n. The laptop successfully uses the AE network to get on the internet, but Bonjour does not display any printers. I also have a Macbook Air that is able to print wirelessly to the HP PSC 1315, so I know it works. The problem appears to be with Bonjour, but I'm not certain. I've tried it with and without the 1315 added as a local printer in the Control Panel. Still no luck.
I had this same setup with a prior Windows XP laptop and an 802.11g AE, but alas can't get back there with the "new/better" technology.
Please help.

Hello rldegier. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
See if either of these two articles will help:
o Printing to an AirPort Extreme / Express Base Station or Time Capsule from Windows XP
o Printing from a Windows XP PC to a printer attached to an Airport Extreme Base Station or Airport Express

I would like to set up a media server on time capsule using airport express and an ipad as a remote for dance studio

I am wanting to set up a network for my business and was hoping if someone could tell me how to do this and if it will indeed work. Or if you have any better ideas.
I want to transfer all music to Airport Time Capsule. I want to plug in the aiport express to my sound system. I want to access music through the ipad off the timecapsule to play it without downlaoding it on the ipad.
We currently use Icloud, but there is too much music and too many devices accessing for it to work effectively. I am running a dance studio so we need more music than what could ever be stored on an ipad/ipod.
As an extention to this, can we use multiple Airport expresses plugged into mutiple sound systems to simultaneously access different music from the same time capsule?
Any ideas would be so great!

The answer is not if you use iTunes.
The TC is NOT an iTunes server.. it is not a media device at all. It is a backup location for Time Machine.
You need a computer in the network which stores the iTunes library and you can then play it via the ipad.
A mini with a large USB drive plugged in will work fine.. it doesn't need to be new.. a couple of years old mini will work just as well.
As an extention to this, can we use multiple Airport expresses plugged into mutiple sound systems to simultaneously access different music from the same time capsule?
I am not sure.. there will be network limitations to this.
Look up how to use itunes in a network.

You would do better perhaps posting the question in iTunes section.. if as I guess you are actually using iTunes.

How to set up time capsule with existing network that uses airport express/extreme

I have an existing wirelss network using airport express. I want to upgrade to time capsule and use the A/P express upstairs. I dont want to delete the existing network.

I suggest to use your airport express to extend your wireless network that is created by your new time capsule

Updated iTunes to 11.0.3 and now when I try to use Airport Express I get a message in iTunes that states, "an unknown error has occured (-15000.) I gave the Airport a hard re-start, so I don't think that is the issue. Using Windows 7.

Looks like I fixed it., thanks to another post I read. I went into my Norton Security. Under Settings. Chose Firewall. Program rules. changed the itunes setting from "auto" to "allow" This also fixed my error (-3212) which would not allow me to connect to the iTunes store.

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

HT4587 what about set up apple tv using airport express base without WIFI connection

How to set up Apple tv on my tv using airport express base without internet connection

In theory you can configure the AirPort Express to broadcast a Wi-Fi network that the Apple TV can connect to. The default configuration of the Express is to broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. You would then configure the Apple TV to connect to this network.

I am setting up a used Airport Express. It works fine with my computer for internet connection. Now I am setting it up for Tivo connection. They ask for a Gateway router number. Where can I find this number?

I am setting up a used Airport Express. It works fine and my computer can get on the internet whith no problems.
I want to enable my Tivo box to connect to this wifi net, Tivo asks for a Gateway Router number. Where can I find this number?

The "gateway" number for your AirPort Express, by default, is 10.0.1.1

HT5211 My HP 2355 won't show up in AirPrint? I have it plugged in via USB and set it up on my Mac mini with the airport express network. Any advice?

My HP 2355 won't show up in AirPrint? I have it plugged in via USB and set it up on my Mac mini with the airport express network. Any advice?

Unless your HP printer is an AirPrint-ready device, just connecting it to the USB port of the AirPort Express base station will not make it so.
On the other hand, connecting a non-AirPrint printer to the base station's USB port it can be shared out by the base station's print server. Please see the following Apple Support article for details.

Is there any way to stop the delay between different sets of speakers when using airport express?

Is there any way to stop the delay between different sets of speakers when using airport express?

Unfortunately, I don't have either a Slingbox or iHome speakers so I won't be able to reproduce any of the issues you are having. With the fact that you live in large apartment complex would still lead me to believe that Wi-Fi interference may be the reason that you are having streaming issues.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

Windows 8 and Airport Express

I now have Windows 8 and I cannot connect to my AirPort Express. Do I need new drivers to fix this?

The driver should not matter as long as the laptop is not set with a static internal address - and make sure that your modem is working properly - Windows 8.1 by default will automatically connect to a properly configured Express by choosing the network and entering the password - if you have changed any settings different from factory settngs then change them back to the original - make sure that your Express is configured as follows:
Internet connection = PPOE - be sure to enter your logon info correctly
Wi-fi Mode = create a wireless network - connected via ethernet
Name your wireless network - use a simple name
Security = WPA2 Personal
Password = 8 characters of your choice - use letters or numbers only - no caps
Router Mode = DHCP and NAT
IPV6 = link local only
Leave eveything else as default
Once it is configured properly, unplug all devices or power them down and then power up starting with the Modem - be sure to remove and replace the battery if present -- wait for it to fully boot - then plug in the Express and wait for a green light - then turn on the laptop - then choose your wireless network and enter the password.

Windows laptop won't connect to internet using airport express connection

Hi. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I set up airport express on my imac g5 so I could share the internet with my windows laptop. I have a wireless notecard plugged into my laptop (802.11gg)--the laptop recognizes a wireless network with my imac no problem. I'm able to access the internet with my imac, but my laptop can't. I have a cable modem with the ethernet cable attached to airport express. I set up the wireless network using wep. Am I missing something? Please help! Thanks!

I had a similar issue this morning. My problem was my password. Apple will allow short passwords with wep encryption. Other manufacturer's don't.
"The multiplatform issue
Being an older protocol, WEP password treatment was not implemented uniformly by all wireless hardware and operating system manufacturers. Some products require users to enter relatively cryptic hexadecimal characters (four bits each), while others allow "plain language" password entry. A plain language password, like "apple", uses standard ASCII characters that are 8 bits each.
Products that allow plain language (ASCII) password entry may not force the network administrator to create 5- or 13-character passwords that would result in the required 40 (5*8) and 104 (13*8) bit-length passwords. Instead, they use a "hashing" routine to convert an odd-length password to the correct bit length. The multiplatform issue arises when the hashing results of products from two different manufacturers don't match each other. The resulting "network equivalent passwords," which are always given in hexadecimal format, are different."
In my case I made the password 13 characters long and everything works fine now.

Connecting a new HP computer with Windows 7 to Airport Express.

I have an AirPort Express set up with my home network, base station is configured on my IMAC. Now I have a new HP PC with Windows 7 for work, and I'm having trouble getting it to connect to the AirPort Express.
It asks for a "Security Key", and nothing in the literature or on the hardware seems to match that. I've tried every number sent with the Airport (ethernet ID, AirPort ID) but nothing works. Can someone provide advice on how to get this to work?
thanks,
Kevin

It is unlikely that the very long security "key" will solve your issue with the PC, but you never know.... it might be worth a try.
Open AirPort Utility, select the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
Ignoring the window in the center of the screen, look way, way up to the top of the computer screen where the Help, AirPort Utility, Window, etc menus are located.
Click the Base Station menu
Click Equivalent Network Password password and your "key" will appear.

Use Airport Express G to set up wireless printing on a N network?

I currently have a N network set up, with a First Gen Airport Extreme acting as the main hub, and the latest Airport Express N used to extend the range of the network.
However, I would now like to set up a wireless printer in another part of the house, and I have a spare first gen Airport Express G lying around - Would it be possible to make use of this Airport Express G to add the wireless printer onto my N network?
I guess my question is, is the airport express G compatabile with my N network if I just use it for wireless printing? And if so, how do I go about setting it up?
Thanks for the help.

Hello again
I'm still having the same problem. I go through the step by step setup for wifi but when I get to step number 5 (HTMLConfig) instead of opening the next window it takes me back to the previous one.
The step by step instructions are here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02847467&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
I have also looked in the manual that came with the printer but it basically just says "follow the on screen instructions for setup when you install the CD" which I have already done.
All my software is up to date. I have OS Mavericks and there are no updates pending.
My printer is not compatible with Airprint so I cannot use that option. I did not use the WPS method as you instructed. I opted for Method 3: Wireless setup using a USB connection.
