Using AEBS with d-Link 655 (or "how do you set up a bridge?")

Please help - I am at the end of my rope and am now treading into uncharted territory.
Basically I want to see if I can have my MacBook working (wirelessly) through the AEBS wireless router, and our Windows PC working (wirelessly) through a d-Link DIR-655 router, utilizing one cable modem. I'd prefer to use only one router, but the Windows PC absolutely refuses to maintain an internet connection with the AEBS; after two days of trying everything I can possibly think of to fix the problem, the only progress I've made is that every log indicates that things are perfectly fine when I have no internet connection. The d-Link works much better with the PC, and works fine with my MacBook, but I really want the ability to print remotely. I tried hooking up a print server to the d-Link and got it working, but it turned out it's not compatible with my printer.
I have to set up the system using my MacBook, as the PC is nowhere near our cable modem. The AEBS shows up in Airport Utility; the d-Link has to be set up via web browser.
My understanding is that I could use the AEBS as a bridge, but I really am not sure what I'm doing. I have the hardware set up this way:
Cable modem - ethernet cable - d-Link's WAN port
d-Link's LAN port - ethernet cable - AEBS WAN port
During setup, I have:
AEBS LAN port - ethernet cable - MacBook
Both systems were already set up to operate as wireless routers on their own, each with a different SSID. I managed to get into the Airport Utility and change the AEBS to work as a WDS remote. (I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that or select "extended network.") Since saving that setting, I can no longer get into Airport Utility to make any additional changes. (I read somewhere that both routers should have the same SSID and password. Is that true?)
The AEBS light is green. The only router showing up in my Airport wireless menu is the d-Link, however. Is that how it's supposed to work? If so, how on earth do I know whether I'm connecting to the d-Link or the Airport router?
Of course, this would be a lot cheaper and easier if I could just get the darned AEBS to maintain an internet connection with the PC. If anyone has any ideas I haven't tried yet on that one, I'd love to hear them.

I guess my other question would be if this is even the right setup if I want to be able to use my printer with the AEBS and my MacBook. (I don't need to share the printer with the PC.)

    That is poor type layout.
    European languages read left to right, a ragged left edge is the worst possible layout for listed data.
    The only circumstance you should use the left/right alignment is in header/footers for running heads and page numbers wheer they are widely separated and therefore easy to scan as individual short snipetts of text.

  • Does time capsule backup two separate users with their individual passwords or how do you set that up?

    I Have two separate users on my computer and want the backups to reflect that. I don't want one user to have access to my stuff and vice versa.  Does time capsule do this automatically or do you set this up somehow?

    TM does the whole computer.. it is designed for home setup.. where people not that worried about security.
    It is always possible for any user to access any other users account.. given enough time and skill. TM backups make it easier in a way.. I have tested it myself and I can recover TM backups from unknown user in a Time Capsule with an unknown password. It was tricky but anyone with brains can read the net.
    There are solutions.. as I said.. if you are worried you should be using Encryption. Never depend on passwords in a shared computer to prevent access.
    If your files are encrypted then even if a person recovers them they cannot read them without the key.
    It may need for your files to be on a separate partition.
    See Pondini's info on file vault and interaction with Time Machine.
    http://pondini.org/TM/25.html
    Of course for a person to hack in.. they have to want to do it.. in most people's home situation that is not a hassle.
    For a business setup you would be using superior security.. proper active directory server etc.

  • How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 in AEB N?

    Help,
    I'm a novice at Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) - not an IT guy, so it has to be pretty basic and detailed.
    How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 on the Apple Airport Extreme BS router, 802.11 N. I have one at each end of the internet connection. At one end I have an Airport Extreme N router with 2 macs and eventually 1 windows XP machine (if I can) that I would like to be able to connect to over the interenet (the clients) and at the other end, I have a Mac with ARD 2.2 installed also with an Airport Extreme N router. Note: Both routers use Static IP addresses and all computers use static IP's internally not through DHCP. What are the settings or directions to do this.
    I have read and printed out the directions for Configuration of ARD 3.0 that are posted many times in the ARD discusion group, but it uses a Linksys router ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm posted by Dave Sawyer). The Mac router is different, particularly with the place to set a Private IP address. I'm not sure about alot of things, but especially about the Private IP address, what number do I set it to, the one that is in my Network connections list? It automatically changes to a different number in AE N setup for Port Forwarding (by one) as if it is not suppose to the same?????
    Are there any directions available that are as straight forward for the Airport Extreme N router, as the one's that are listed here for the Linksys Router's? ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm )
    Any and All help will be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. I know I should have 3.0 but bought 2.2 just weeks before 3.0 came out and they would not give me an upgrade price, so I'm waiting for 4.0 to upgrade.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Try the following for each AirPort Extreme ...
    AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    o Reserve address by: MAC Address
    o Click Continue.
    o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
    o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    o Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s): 3283
    o Public TCP Port(s): 3283
    o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
    o Private UDP Port(s): 3283

  • How do you set up TC with cable internet?

    I know this may sound ******** but if I have a coaxial cable coming out of my wall and the is no coaxial cable input on the TC, how do you set it up without using the crappy router I got from TW cable?  Is there a coaxial cable to ethernet adapter?

    but if I have a coaxial cable coming out of my wall and the is no coaxial cable input on the TC, how do you set it up without using the crappy router I got from TW cable?
    Suggest that you ask TW to provide you with a simple modem.....not a router. The TC is also a router. You don't need two routers and it just makes things more complicated.
    Is there a coaxial cable to ethernet adapter?
    No. You need to connect the coax cable to a modem. The modem provides an Ethernet signal to the TC.

  • How do you set up usb device (remote for ppt) to work with iPad2

    How do you set up a USB Device (a remote) to work with an iPad 2?  I have the digital camera connector but when I plug the remote in, the device is not recognizable.  We are trying to run a slideshow on the iPad using the remote to advance the slides.  Thus, the viewer does not have to swipe to advance to the next slide. 

    ...I have the digital camera connector...
    Simple answer: no, you can't use that remote with the iPad.
    The Camera Connection Kit (CCK) is only for importing pictures.  It is not a general purpose USB port so will not work with just any USB device, other than cameras and USB flash drives (but only to import pictures.)

  • How do you set up for AirPrint an HP110A wireless printer without a PC on a wifi network using a Verizon FIOS router)

    Purchasing an HP110A wireless printer for my 85 year old father who has and Ipad
    This pritner is fully compatible with Airplay per HP site
    My dad has no PC
    He knows the router passcode.
    What is the process?
    Will the HP printer to be purchased shortly work out of the box w/no drivers
    How do you set the printer up to work on the iPad?

    Richard-
    I have the HP D110 AirPrint printer.  As I recall, it was configured in Ad Hoc network mode when first received.  It was necessary to set it up to access my WiFi router before I could use it with the internet connection.  Then, as part of the setup process, it downloaded the latest firmware update from HP.  This was all done from the printer control panel, and no PC was needed.
    As Pvonk mentioned, your router must be able to correctly handle Bonjour data for iPad to print to an AirPrint printer.  Go ahead and try it, it may work.  If the iPad can't find the printer, you will need to contact Verizon for help in configuring the router or getting a different router that is compatible.
    By now, you should realize that a PC is needed to update the iPad.  I assume your Dad visits you when he needs use of a PC.

    You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.
