Stuck in hotel with an ibook, an Express and a short ethernet cord!  Help!

Help -- I'm in a Marriot and I brought my airport express thinking I could just plug their high speed into it and go but it won't work. Do i have to do something? It recognizes the AE and calls it what it is at home... the signal is strong but I can't get online without plugging this very short ethernet cord into my laptop. I want to check email from the bed! Any help would be great.

I just used my Express a few weeks ago at a Courtyard
by Marriott and it worked fine. One day I had to use
a direct connection to sign onto the network but I
was able to immediately switch to wireless.
One thing to check is to make sure that "Distribute
IP addresses" is enabled. Also, make sure that the
Ethernet port is enabled in the Base Station Options;
this little detail bit me until I figured it out.
Thanks for the reply. If you get a chance, can you give me some more direction. I'm pretty saavy until it comes to this wireless stuff. If you can i'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
Robin

  • Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

    Is your problem due to the keyboard or to NeoOffice Characters? You have to change probably the font. Not all fonts are supporting all Unicode sets. Which font you have in your NeoOffice set to write Tamil? Try with Arial Unicode MS for example.
    Are the letter e-Ex and ai-Ex right in your posting? If they are right, how you inserted these letters in your posting? By copy and paste or by typing? If by typing, your question is related to NeoOffice. Probably you should reinstall or update NeoOffice? Or switch to OpenOffice?

  • G4 stuck in sleep with external hard drive on and attached - help?

    My G4 won't make up unless I unplug it and reboot, but I'm afraid to do this because my external hard drive is attached and is on. I forgot to put the hard drive icon in the trash before putting the computer to sleep and now I don't know if I should turn the hard drive off before I have to unplug the mac to reboot. I hope there is a way not to lose the data. Help!

    Hello! There are many reports of sleep problems associated with devices including firewire drives and any usb device. I would suggest contacting the manf. web site for the various devices and seek info concerning the issue on their sites. Tom

  • Web Sharing with Leopard 10.5.2 and Airport Extreme Base Station HELP!!!

    Ok...I want to set up web sharing on my computer but so far my attempts have failed.
    I have an intel iMac with Leopard 10.5.2 installed and I have the latest Airport extreme base station (With draft n).
    I turn on web sharing, and of course it works locally but not when trying to be accessed over the internet.
    Now I realize that by default my routers address wont let anyone connect to my computer over the internet.
    My router has an ip of 10.0.1.1, and I assigned my computer a static ip address of 10.0.1.200.
    Now in the network preferences pane and the airport category, i set my computers IP (the 10.0.1.200), I put the gateway as 255.255.255.0, the router as 10.0.1.1 and the DNS as 10.0.1.1
    Now going over to the airport utility I added a new entry in the port mapping section, with port 80 (both public and private) and the IP of my machine, 10.0.1.200.
    Now in theory this should work but NOOOOO.
    Does anyone have the same setup? a wireless network with the new airport extreme base station and has successfully configured Web Sharing?
    Thanks in advance.
    Felipe

    Well here is an update.
    I saw an entry in apple support that said I had to change some setting in the apache folder /etc/apache2 in order to avoid getting the 403 forbidden error. I tried this and it did not work, i checked my user configuration file as well and the path to my home site directory was correct
    Anyone here have a similar setup and has it working? It shouldnt be too hard to set up web sharing through a router. It has to be possible or else a lot of people would not buy a router because of this.
    thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help
    Bye.

    3. 7664 machine model (which is the you have), have extensive international warranty, it is covered in both indonesia and singapore.

    4. Many thinkpads have international warranty since Thinkpad are aimed at business people, whom may travel abroad quite a lot during the laptop's warranty period, therefore many business laptop like Thinkpad have international warranty. So that in case your laptop fails while you are overseas, you will still be covered for repair as part of the regular warranty services. (Also, the international warranty follows the model number of your machine, and it is set so you can't upgrade to get more coverage).
    Depot warranty versus Onsite Warranty is the one thing that you should contemplate when you are selecting warranty.
    Depot means that you have to send the laptop back to a repair shop (or depot) to get it fixed. While, onsite means the repair technician comes to your home or your work (which ever is more convenient for you) to fix the laptop during 9 am to 5 pm weekday. This usually means that you don't have to be without the laptop for 5 or more days (that is the usual turnaround time for depot repair provided parts are available).

  • Connecting hp 4620 to wireless network with an apple airport express and apple OS X 10.5

    Any help would be greatly.  This setup used to print wirelessly just fine until we switched internet providers and now the printer will not connect via the airport express router.  I've tried going into the airport utility, manual set-up, base station.....but there is no "add wireless clients" to choose like all the online help that I've read says should be there.  Thx in advance, Matt

  • Network with Airport Extreme, Airport Express and Time Capsule

    Hi,
    I have a good internet connection working perfectly in the following order. ISP connected by ethernet (cable) to an AE and this extended to an EX and this extended to a new TC. The AE and AX are 801.11 b/g/n but not dual as the new TC. My question is. If I work with an iPhone, the AE is going to work just with g forcing to TC to work with g as well with the rest of the equipments (AppleTV, other iPhones, iMac? I have an iMac that should be connected to the new TC and I would like to do it by 802.11n, is it possible in this configuration? I now that it would better if I organize the network with the new TC (dual) first. However, the TC is too far from the iMac and this is not my favorite option.
    Another question is:
    The new TC is very close to AppleTV but wirelessly. Will I increase the speed for watching movies which are placed at TC (through external disks connected to the USB in the new TC) if I connect the TC to AppleTV using an ethernet cable?
    Thanks,
    Jokin

    ... My question is. If I work with an iPhone, the AE is going to work just with g forcing to TC to work with g as well with the rest of the equipments
    The answer is yes, but I believe you can avoid that by having the iPhone connect only to the new dual band TC. Configure *everything else* to run an 802.11n network exclusively - not "802.11n (b/g compatible)". This way the iPhone will be unable to connect to that network, causing it to run in the slower b/g compatible mode. Your iPhone will work fine, as long as it remains within range of your TC's 802.11g wireless network.
    Remember that you will need to change all your equipment's settings: the Extreme, the Express, the TC, and maybe the AppleTV.
    Galt's rule of networking: "The number of problems you encounter increases exponentially with the number of devices on your network."
    So... proceed methodically.
    The new TC is very close to AppleTV but wirelessly. Will I increase the speed for watching movies which are placed at TC (through external disks connected to the USB in the new TC) if I connect the TC to AppleTV using an ethernet cable?
    The speed will be limited by the slowest link in your network chain. A wired network is always preferable, since it cannot be affected by interference or obstructions.
    If you are streaming movies from the Internet, your wireless link will probably be the limiting factor.

  • Just got my airport express and it's NOT working (Help)

  • Apple Airport Express and PC Laptops - Wireless Network Help

    Hello all,
    I have two Wi-Fi enabled laptops running Windows XP, an Apple Airport Express unit and a Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router.
    At present the DG-632 is running in modem mode and is connected to one laptop using the ethernet connection. The Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router has one ethernet connection and one USB connection.
    My understanding is that if i run one laptop off the USB connection on the Modem/Router and connect the the DG-632 to the ethernet connection then the laptop on USB has to be turned on for the second laptop to access the wireless network.
    Assuming the above is true (i am very likely wrong), it would be nice if both laptops were able to access the internet wirelessly via the Airpot Express Unit.
    However, being a complete novice at networking, i am little confused about how to do this?
    Any help, tutorials or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm new. I have a Dell Laptop XP and my wife has a
    dell desktop XP . I have DSL with a Linksys wireless
    router. After many hours on the phone I was able to
    get the ineternet set up for me and my wife.
    After all this I found that my Airport Express system
    couldn't connect to my stereo. It seems that the
    router wireless connection pays no attention to
    Airport. Apple says that they could set up another
    wireless system to work for Itunes by using my
    wireless card in the Laptop.
    But... I can't listen to the music and surf the net
    at the same time. A linksys person has tried to allow
    Linksys to accept and proper installation to the
    router. I tried is but it didn't work.

    Sort of new here and to the AE, but have a Dell Desktop and Tosbiba laptop both running XPHome SP2, and on dialup
    The Linksys router is hooked to the desktop with an ethernet cable. In the office.
    The AE is in the living room and works great for surfing and ITunes.
    The only way I could get my AE to work as an access point for dialup and stream ITunes from the laptop to the home theater was to use the setup found here.
    http://rgbdream.com/?p=44
    The only problem I had with the setup was do not use the $ when entering the password. And had to use a proxy server on the desktop for sharing the dialup. LOL no hope of any broadband here.
    Hope this is some help.

  • Very important Photo of last visit with Grandpa before his passing and others gone can you help me please?

    I accidentally cut photo's from an event instead of copy but I posted in a new event. I closed the new event and opened it back up. when I opened up the new event my photo's were all there.  I copied the photo's from new event to put back into original old event. It wouldn't allow me to paste in the old event. SO I thought I must of not clicked copy like I thought so I went back to copy and my new event and all the photos disappeared. There is no backup found on itunes, no recovery software has recovered it. We've looked in  the show package contents area of the iphoto in Finder. The event or pictures are no where to be found. These pictures were taken from my iphone and I imported them to iphoto a while back. I have not backed up the pictures  becuase I don't know how. I've never had this issue and an event and photo's shouldn't just disappear like they never happened. There are 25 photos total but about 5 of them are most important to me. I've tried running a backup recovery of my phone with software and on the computer and only thing they find is photo's I already know where they are. If you have any suggestions help info please let me know. Thanks

    I just performed the rebuild. It put a bunch of empty folders into my library that I had deleted in the past. But no where is the one folder that I had made yesterday with my 25 photos. I checked the orginial folder that I took them from and not there. It's odd that it's like they never exisited. So broken hearted. The last photo I had with my husband and I in it with his grandpa before he died is gone. Unless there is a way to get it off a back up on my phone somewhere. All of my photos' are backed up from my PC but nothing since owning this computer. cause this itunes icloud time machine stuff has me confused but will have to get the pictures printed and burned that I do have. That's what I was working on yesterday when this happened. Chose my first 25 I wanted to print and lost them and I"m afraid to touch the others now.

  • N7K with F1 VDC, F2 VDC and Storage VDC - Configuration/Support Help

    Hi there,
    We currently have an N7k running version 6.2.(6)  with a default ethernet VDC and a storage VDC.  We are running F1 modules (N7K-F132XP-15) and share the interfaces across to the storage VDC.
    We recently purchased an F2 module to connect our HP Bladecenter Chassis via a B22 FEX module.  We were told by our account team that this was supported in our environment.  I created a third VDC for the F2 module and now want to share those ports into the storage VDC.  
    When I try to add support for the F2 card in the storage VDC I get this error:
    nyc-nx02(config-vdc)# limit-resource module-type f1 f2
    This will cause all ports of unallowed types to be removed from this vdc. Continue (y/n)? [yes] 
    ERROR: Not all listed line card types are supported in a storage vdc on the current switch
    nyc-nx02(config-vdc)#
    I understand that the F1 and F2 modules are not supported in same VDC, but can they be shared in a storage VDC on the same switch?  Before I continue troubleshooting I want to make sure this is the supported and best practice for this setup.
    Thanks for your help

    I think what you need is shared ports (access) splitting into storage VDC and ethernet VDC ?
