Wireless Connectivity problem between BT HomeHub and AirPort Express

Hi Guys,
I'm new here, and have just bought my 1st Apple product!
I'm afraid I haven't had a very good start though, and would really appreciate some assistance please.
My problem is with connecting my Apple AirPort Express ("APX") to my BT HomeHub ("BTHH") wirelessly, whilst also being able to use the internet. I can only get the internet to work, whilst also streaming music from itunes to APX, by connecting the APX to the BTHH via an Ethernet cable. Perhaps I should state my equipment:
*Room #1*
Computer: Laptop
Operating System: Windows XP, Service Pack 2
Modem: BT Homehub (the curved version with blue lights)
Above Connection Method: Wireless.
*Room #2*
Hi-Fi (Linn)
Apple AirPort Express
Above Connection Method: Digital (mini to regular toslink).
*What I Want:*
- To be able to wirelessly connect to the internet (PC to BTHH)
- To be able to wirelessly stream music to the APX from iTunes
- to be able to do both of the above simultaneously.
Problem:
Once my laptop has found the APX network, as soon as I then connect to it, my BTHH internet connection disappears. or the APX disappears and I have to do a factory restet before my computer can discover it again. (It leaves me having access to only one network or the other). Hence, I cannot stream music to the AirPort and use the internet simultaneously. One or the other. I am trying to "Join an Existing Network" via the AirTunes software.
Very depressed as I don't know much about networking and had hoped it would just configure automatically. I have fiddled but it always loses the presence of the AirPort altogether until I do a factory reset for it to reappear as an available wireless network again.
Please please help a struggling newby - anybody got an idiot's, step-by-step guide to the perfect settings? thank you to anybody who can assist.

Does Apple allow functionality between Logic Pro and Airport Express

That's it... Does Apple allow functionality between Logic Pro and Airport Express.
If not, Why not. It seems like such a logical Apple type solution. I looked and find it difficult to believe nobody has asked the question...

There is your solution: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/

Vonage between cable modem and Airport Express is a problem

I have my Comcast cable modem connected via Ethernet to the Vonage box which is connected via Ethernet cable to my Airport Express. When I try to connect wirelessly via my Powerbook it's a crapshoot whether or not I can connect to the internet. Mostly the quality is very poor if you can connect at all. If I cut the Vonage out of the equation hooking the cable modem to the Airport Express it works perfect. So Vonage is my problem and I need to change some settings either with my computer or my Airport Express, but which ones? I've been given several different ideas from the information I've sifted through (i.e. change the DNS, change the sharing prefs, get a hard wired router). Oddly enough an old HP computer I have in the basement connected to the internet via another Airport Express has no problems with connection at all. If someone could let me know which of these fixes I am preparing to try would work the best I would appreciate it.

Interesting. So you have two Airport Express devices configured into a WDS, with the one upstairs functioning as the main base station and the one downstairs functioning as a remote base station. And your PC downstairs connected to the remote base station has no problems connecting to the internet. Is that PC cabled to the Airport Express, or does it connect wirelessly to the remote Airport Express?
What happens if you bring the Powerbook downstairs to where the PC now resides. Does the Powerbook then get the same great internet connection as the PC?

Wireless connection lost between my router and printer (hp officejet 4620)

My hp officejet 4620 printer has been working fine but now the wireless connection has been lost and I can't get the wireless connection back. The blue light for the wifi flashes blue. I can't get the connection back between the router and the printer because my wifi is actually working fine with my laptop. Any suggestions about what i can do to get the connection back so I can print again?
Is it something I need to do on the printer screen or laptop to fix the problem?

Have you powered off everything and power up again? Power off printer and router. Power on router and wait 2 mins. Power up printer and see if it connects to your SSID.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

Connection problem between sap bw and EAI

Hi
Please
I'd like to know why people who work on the part of my EAI project say there is a connection problem between eai and SAP BW. He explained that the connection is good at 12h AM and 16h PM the system was disconnected, he receive this error message:
System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException: The HTTP request is Unauthorized with customer authentication scheme 'Basic'. The authentication header received from the server was' Basic realm = "SAP NetWeaver Application Server [DB1/100].
I like to know if this is a problem with sap bw (misconfiguration of authorisations) or at the eai.

Hello,
we have 2 possiblities in BW to get data into BW.
1) pull
2) push
I understodd that you want to push data to BW. Please have a look into the Howto paper: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/bi.sdn?contenttype=url&content=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sapportals.km.docs/documents/a1-8-4/how to send xml data to bw
and
https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/bi.sdn?contenttype=url&content=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sapportals.km.docs/documents/a1-8-4/how to integrate bw to xi.pdf
If you want to connect an external system to BW and extract data to BW and the BW system is the leading system.
You need a RFC server, or UD connect (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/943de6c3-0401-0010-b7a4-8b1af193f642) or you can use db connect or you can extract flat files.
All of these possibilies are decribed in the online help and in howto papers.
hope this helps

Connection Problems Between iChat 3 and iChat 4 Workaround

Maybe this info will help others:
iChat 4/Leopard users must initiate video chat to iChat 3/Tiger users:
I have discovered that if an iChat 4/Leopard user initiates the video chat to an iChat3/Tiger user, it works, but if the iChat3/Tiger user initiates the video chat with an iChat 4/Leopard user it fails with a message saying that the receiver declined the invitation (even if the receiver tried to accept). This happens on a LAN as well as across the Internet.
Likewise, to make conference video chats, make sure the iChat 4/Leopard user initiates, then adds the other parties.
This post is NOT about iChat Server, although the problem occurs there too. If you are using iChat Server (part of OSX Server) see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5995966 ).
Hope this helps.

Hey.
I found how to work around combatible problems between 1.3 and 1.4. For user, that want to save thier DynamicTree.java (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-swing/index.html)
Use follow code (I using Externalizable):
protected DefaultMutableTreeNode rootNode=null;
protected DefaultTreeModel treeModel=null;
public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput stream) throws IOException
{ stream.writeUTF(rootNode.toString());
    Vector values = new Vector();
    Object root = treeModel.getRoot();
    // Save the root, if its Serializable.
    if(root != null && root instanceof Serializable)
    { values.addElement("root");
      values.addElement(root);
    stream.writeObject(values);
public void readExternal(ObjectInput stream) throws IOException
{ thisModel.removeAll();
    thisModel.setVisible(false);
    try
    { String title=stream.readUTF();
      rootNode = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(title);
      Vector values = (Vector)stream.readObject();
      int indexCounter = 0;
      int maxCounter = values.size();
      treeModel = new DefaultTreeModel(rootNode);
      if(indexCounter < maxCounter && values.elementAt(indexCounter).equals("root"))
      { TreeNode root = (TreeNode)values.elementAt(++indexCounter);
        treeModel = new DefaultTreeModel(root);
        indexCounter++;

How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection, How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection

Trying to connect my xbox to the airport express. Have wireless in home and do not have a ethernet point behind tv/xbox. How do I configure the airport express to connect to my wireless network and then the airport express can use its connection via ethernet to connect the xbox to the internet.

Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) a 802.11n model? If it is, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge or ProxySTA. This would allow the AX to join another wireless network and have its Ethernet port enabled for wired clients, like the Xbox 360.
To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.

Connection Problem between BiW Server and BPC Server

Dear all,
Situation,
We have a CSV file dumped in BI Application server in directory defined by us for all Transaction data. Now this CSV file needs to be moved to BPC Server.
Connection/Link between BI and BPC server is missing. So we need one link between BI and BPC server, so that we can automate the movement of CSV from BI server to BPC server.
Is there is any Tool from which can establish connection between two.(i.e. BiW and BPC server).
OR
Do we have any alternate solution of Transfering Transaction data from SAP R/3 or BiW Server to BPC Server.
Thanks in advance

How can I expand my wireless network with a Time Capsule and Airport Express?

My entire house is wired for ethernet access (2 floors). I have a Time Capsule on the 2nd floor that reaches the entire house except for one room.
In this one room I have an ethernet port plugged into an Airport Express.
The problem I encounter is that I have two separate wifi networks with two separate names. I realize I can extend the wireless network on the 2nd floor to the 1st floor but I can only do this wirelessly to my knowledge, and the entire problem is that the signal doesn't reach the front room. Also, there is really no place in-between that the AE can be placed to extend the reach. The building is concrete and steel, I think that has a lot to do with the problem.
My question is: Can I have two wireless routers (connected to the same home network via ethernet) broadcast the same wifi network? I also have a SONOS system that further complicates things, I'm afraid. Would it help if I drew some sort of diagram?
Thanks!

Your network is not working as you describe.. or I have misunderstood the layout..
What is the broadband type? Modem is where? What is the main router?
From your screen shots the main router is the airport express that covers one room which seems wrong.
Why isn't the TC the main router? or both bridged.. if you go back and look at the apple document.. one or both apple routers are in bridge mode..
You are having issues with setup .. half of which is caused by v6 airport utility.
What OS are you running? Please install 5.6 utility.. do it.. do it now!!
Easy for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Messy but possible for ML.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

Connecting a Printer to USB and AirPort Express Simultaneously

I have a Samsung laserprinter - the only connection on it is USB. I currently have this connected to a XP laptop.
Aswell as connecting it to my XP laptop, I wish to share the printer around the house. The other computers around the house are a combination of Macs and PCs.
It sounds like a strange request - but - I want to be able to connect the printer to my laptop and to the airport express (for the sharing part) at the same time.
I notice around the web that there are several devices you can buy, which are effectively USB 'splitters' for connecting a USB printer to 2 USB computers at the same time.
Could I use one of these 'splitters' in conjunction with the AirPort Express? In that way, I'd be able to connect the XP laptop to the printer via USB, and the rest of the house would share via the USB/Airport connection.
(Incase anyone asks, the XP laptop is on a different LAN network to the rest of the house, hence the problem).
Has anyone tried this? If so, can anyone recommend a make/model of such a 'splitter' that is proven to work with the AirPort Express?
(Or even better, maybe there is a device out there somewhere that does this without having to buy 2 devices).
Thanks,
Brad

USB is not designed to have two controllers at a given time. Therefore I would not trust one of these devices. It may damage the USB port on your laptop or the AirPort Express (AX).

Connection problems when I use multiple Airport Expresses

I have one Mac that I use to stream music to multiple Airport Express's. Its seems that when I connect to 3 expresses things work fine. If I connect to 4 the sound cuts out on all speakers.
Is 3 the limit or am I doing something wrong?

Yes you can but....
With the apex in the ceiling you may get a signal loss from your main wireless system. To be able to do what you want in a whole home sound system they all need to be on the main wireless system. You also have to plug them in to a wall outlet which may be an issue with your fire regulations with them inside the walls/ceiling. With airplay you have some limitation also. If she has an ios device and likes say pandora she can only do it to one set of speakers/APex. Only itunes from a computer can do multiple/house party sound. I have 2 APex in my house and love them all. If your main wifi is out of range for some of the new APex's you can run 1 cat5/6 (APex is 10/100) and make a new network and bridge the rest to it. As long as your new wire is connected to your main network you will stay on the same network.
So now you get sound and a roaming wifi through out the house. (that's what I did but not in the ceiling.)
Sonus are good but $$$. by then rewire!

Problem with Macbook pro and Airport Express!!!

I'm having the same problem I have seen others with right now with my macbook pro and my airport express. I have set up and reconfigured the A.Express 3 times now. I have the green light, i have the Ethernet configured, I have full bars of reception but I cannot access the signal. meaning I can not go online even though everything is set up correctly and says that it's good to go. Anybody have any advice?
Is it an issue with having to re access the network I created with the Airport utility?
It worked the first time I configured the A. Express with my macbook pro no problem. Then suddenly my computer was just not getting internet. Even though all the settings were ok and I was even getting full bars reception from the device on my comp. So I reset the A.Express and have been having the problem mentioned above since that point. Please help me if you have any advice. Thanks so much in advance.

I had the same problem, and to test if I was connected launched Safari and Safari after a few seconds of not connecting, it shows you a dialog box, with options to follow up, I follow the dialog box and like magic I am connected to the Internet.

What is the diference between apple tv and airport express?

I can see tv online in my tv whitout airport express??
What is the diference between apple tv and new apple tv2?

Airport is a router, Apple TV is a set-top box.
http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/
http://www.apple.com/appletv/
Original Apple TV had a hard-drive, and has been discontinued for quite some time.
ATV2 is a streaming only device, smaller, and use less power. It is also now discontinued
The current model, ATV 3, has a better chip allowing for 1080P playback.

Bluetooth connectivity problems between Macbook Pro and iPad

Good afternoon All,
I am having problems sending files between my macbook pro (retina display) purchased today and my ipad (also purchased today).
They will connect and pair, but when attempting to send a file my macbook will tell me that it is not possible due to "The device does not have the necessary service."
Anyone know of a cure for this problem?
Thank you!

Bluetooth in iPad was designed only to work with keyboards, earphones or speakers. It was not designed to, nor will it work as a file sender from one device to another. Either sync the files to your iPad from your Mac via iTunes sync, or email them, or get a cloud service like Dropbox on your Mac and then download the Dropbox app on your iPad. Put the files in your Drobox account on your Mac, then access them via the Dropbox App on your iPad.

How to setup ADSL moden router and Airport Express 802.11n (1st Generation) to provide internet and airplay connections to multiple devices?

I have a Netgear wireless ADSL modem router (wireless + four ethernet out ports) that i'd like to connect to a 1st gen Airport Express to create a small home network to provide internet access for a MacBook, iPhone and Apple TV, and to provide Airplay connection to the Apple TV and Airport Express audio output jack.
I'd like to turn off the wireless function of the ADSL modem router, and to have from one of its ethernet out ports an ethernet cable providing internet directly connected to my MacBooks ethernet port.
Then from one of the other ethernet outs on the ADSL modem router an ethernet cable connected to the Airport Express's ethernet port. This would be to provide wireless internet connection for the Apple TV and iPhone via WiFi from the AE.
At the same time as the MacBook is receviing internet soley via the ethernet in port, i'd like it to have WiFi connection to the AE to provide Airplay connection to the Apple TV and the AE's audio out jack.
Is this all possible? How should I go about to configure this? How should the AE's ethernet port be configured?
Any special modes the ADSL modem router or Airport Express should be in? ie bridge or client?
Thanks

On the ADSL modem router web-based interface, should I set any security setting? I think not as there'll be no wireless signal coming from it, only wired ethernet connections to both MacBook and AE. Security should only be set on the AE to prevent someone from accessing its WiFi signal. Is this assumption correct?
These are all correct!
How should I go about setting up security for this network?
First I would recommend that you configure the AirPort Express for WPA2 Personal. This will provide you with the greastest level of security while still providing excellent bandwidth performance.
You would configure wireless security for the Express by using the AirPort Utility on a Mac, PC, or iOS device. Using your MacBook Pro as an example, you would do so as follows:
Run the AirPort Utility.
Select the Express, and then, click on Edit.
Select the Wireless tab to enable it.
Set the Wireless Security option to: WPA2 Personal
Enter the desired password in both the Wireless Password & Verify Password fields. Note: Use of a "strong" password is encourage here. By strong, I mean use a mix of upper/lowercase letters, numbers, & punctuation marks. Try not to use common dictionary words. If you operate your wireless in an area where security is of an utmost concern, I would further suggest that you change the wireless security password every 60-90 days. Also don't forget to change the default AirPort Base Station Administrator password as well.
Click on Update and allow the Express to restart.
